While much has been said about the historicity of the Kashmir conflict or about how individuals and communities have resisted occupation and demanded the right to self-determination, much less has been said about nature of everyday life under these conditions. This article offers a glimpse of life in the working-class neighbourhood of Maisuma, located in the central area of the city of Srinagar, and its engagement with the political movement for azadi (freedom). I argue that the predicament of ‘double interminability’ characterises life in Maisuma—the interminable violence by the state on the one hand and simultaneously the constant call of labouring for azadi by the movement on the other, since the terms of peace are unacceptable.

为克什米尔的阿扎迪劳动：斯利那加迈苏马的持续暴力和抵抗

虽然关于克什米尔冲突的历史性或个人和社区如何抵抗占领和要求自决权的讨论很多，但关于这些条件下日常生活的性质却鲜有讨论。本文概述了位于斯利那加市中心地区的 Maisuma 工人阶级社区的生活，以及它与争取 azadi（自由）政治运动的联系。我认为“双重永无止境”的困境是 Maisuma 生活的特征——一方面是国家的永无止境的暴力，另一方面是运动不断呼吁为 azadi 劳动，因为和平条款是不可接受的。
