The International People's Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in KashmirSince 1984, Dr. Angana Chatterji has worked with issues of nationality, minority, women and Dalit's rights. Invited to Kashmir in 2006, she heard people say, ''we have no place where can talk about our reality. We have to keep it to ourselves, and sometimes it feels like what we experience is not even real.'' To that end she co-convened the People's Tribunal with a mandate to, ''bear witness to all forms of suffering, to violence, to militarization...We want a cacophony of voices,'' in the hope that, ''if there are serious attempts at resolution, such documentation would be necessary from which we could begin to understand, and then begin to act.''
Dr. Angana Chatterji is the Co-convener of a People’s Tribunal in Kashmir, author of Violent Gods: Hindu Nationalism in India's Present, and an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
