How The Kashmir Region Became A Geopolitical Hot Spot
NPR's Ailsa Chang speaks with Chitralekha Zutshi, an associate professor of history at the William & Mary, about the historical background of Jammu and Kashmir.
AILSA CHANG, HOST:
People in Kashmir are hoping that life starts returning to normal in the next few days. Ever since the Indian government revoked the territory's limited autonomy earlier this month, millions of Kashmiris have been cut off from the outside world, living without internet or phone services. But Kashmir is no stranger to unrest. And to give us some history on how we got to this moment, we're joined now by Chitralekha Zutshi. She's a professor of history at the College of William and Mary.
