'The People's Militia: Communists and Kashmiri nationalism in the 1940s'
I've posted below an academic article I wrote about the influence of the left in Kashmir, and particularly within Kashmiri nationalism, in the 1940s. The full citation is:
Andrew Whitehead, ‘The People’s Militia: Communists and Kashmiri nationalism in the 1940s’, Twentieth Century Communism: a journal of international history, 2, 2010, pp.141-68. The article was republished in Partition: the long shadow, ed Urvashi Butalia, Zubaan / Viking Penguin: Delhi, 2015
There are some photos of the militia on another page of this site - do take a look:
