Religion and Politics in Jammu and Kashmirwill be an indispensable read for students and researchers of religion and politics, democratisation and democracy, secularism, sociology, cultural studies, and South Asian studies. | Religion And Politics In Jammu And Kashmir by Reeta Chowdhari Tremblay, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
