"One of the most disturbing and profound testimonials that I have taken."In her work gathering testimony from the traumatized and victimized in Kashmir, Dr. Angana Chatterji listened to accounts of torture, deprivation, and agony. Here, she recounts the story she can't forget. A story of profound barbarism that, stunningly, led to a reaction of moral courage of even greater profundity: ''I refuse this history that writes a script where the expectation is that I become something horrific. I'm more than that.''
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.
