Dr. Angana Chatterji
Description: In this powerful segment, Dr. Angana Chatterji speaks of the atrocities she's witnessed in Kashmir, including, ''graves where unmarked, unnamed people lie buried... Ordinary Kashmiris, killed in fake encounters'' and schoolgirls, ''frisked by military forces.'' The presence of over 500,000 Indian soldiers cannot be explained by ''about 700 local militants, which is not a lot.'' Therefore, ''can there be truth without a commitment to unmasking things that are going to be difficult for the state to hear? Without that truth... without justice can there be reconciliation? Can there be peace without justice? These are questions we need to ask ourselves.''
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.
