In this episode, we speak with Anuradha Bhasin, Executive Editor of the Kashmir Times, about the history of Indian-administered Kashmir. In the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack, the Government of India has cracked down on dissent in Kashmir. We discuss the history of Kashmir’s relationship with India and Pakistan, the syncretic nature of Kashmiri society, and how the current human rights crisis came to be. Anuradha brings her extensive experience reporting on issues in Kashmir to give us a glimpse into how Kashmiris navigate living in one of the world's most contested regions.
