In this article, we analyze contemporary discourses of counterinsurgency in relation to dogs in Kashmir, the disputed northernmost Himalayan territory of Jammu and Kashmir, and the site of a prolonged military occupation. We are interested in the widespread presence of street dogs in Kashmir as both embodiments and instruments of military terror. We consider the competing narratives of how canines function variously in Kashmiri perceptions of counterinsurgency and in Indian nationalist discourses. Through ethnographic and cultural analyses, we track how street dogs appear in various cultural and public narratives as the Indian military’s “first line of defense,” and the ways in which their overwhelming presence produces deep anxieties about the nature and extent of the military occupation of Kashmir.

印控克什米尔的犬类反叛乱

在这篇文章中,我们分析了与克什米尔(有争议的喜马拉雅最北端的查谟和克什米尔领土)以及长期军事占领地点的狗有关的反叛乱的当代话语。我们对克什米尔街头流浪狗的广泛存在很感兴趣,它们既是军事恐怖的化身,也是军事恐怖的工具。我们考虑了在克什米尔人对反叛乱的看法和印度民族主义话语中犬科动物如何发挥不同作用的相互竞争的叙述。通过人种学和文化分析,我们追踪流浪狗如何作为印度军队的“第一道防线”出现在各种文化和公共叙事中,以及它们压倒性的存在如何产生对军事占领的性质和范围的深切焦虑。克什米尔。
