Kashmir Scholars Consultative and Action Network KSCAN
The Kashmir Scholars Consultative and
Action Network (KSCAN), is an interdisciplinary group of scholars from
various countries and regions engaged in research on the region of
Kashmir. Each of us has written about Kashmiri history, society,
culture, and politics, and their relation to the protracted conflict;
and we are particularly concerned about the present conditions of
violence. Our research on the Kashmir conflict addresses its history,
its consequences for the region and beyond, and its possible resolution.
It has implications for an internationally mediated political solution
and is of relevance to policy makers.
