The contested identity of Kashmir and Kashmiris and their intrinsic pain of hoping for freedom [Azadi] have found expression through The Srinagar Conspiracy, a novel by Vikram A. Chandra (2000). The article highlights how, through the fractured friendship between a Muslim and a Kashmiri Pandit boy, Chandra traces the upsurge of militant insurgency in Kashmir in the late 1980s and 1990s. The article also examines how the changing dynamics of identity were manipulated by the politics of ethnic and religious nationalism in Kashmir, leading to the 1989 insurgency and its drastic implications. The article also shows how the ethos of Kashmiriyat has been compromised, while the call for azad [free] Kashmir has remained an unrealised dream.

维克拉姆 A. 钱德拉的《斯利那加阴谋》中的阿扎德克什米尔反思

克什米尔和克什米尔人有争议的身份以及他们渴望自由的内在痛苦 [阿扎迪]通过维克拉姆·A·钱德拉 (Vikram A. Chandra) 的小说《斯利那加阴谋》(2000) 得到了表达。这篇文章强调了通过穆斯林和克什米尔潘迪特男孩之间破裂的友谊，钱德拉如何追溯 1980 年代后期和 1990 年代克什米尔激进叛乱的高涨。文章还探讨了身份的变化动态如何被克什米尔的种族和宗教民族主义政治操纵，导致 1989 年的叛乱及其严重影响。这篇文章还展示了克什米尔的精神是如何受到损害的，而呼吁azad [free] Kashmir 仍然是一个未实现的梦想。
