The Kashmir Question is as much a conflict about competing histories and memories as it is about competing territorial claims. However, it has often been reduced to an understanding that reckons the question as one about the region perceived as a terrain of contestation between India and Pakistan. While this could be true, there are multiple complexities at play and the most serious happens to be one rising from the terrain of history and memory and the tensions which emanate thereof to shape the Kashmiri identity. The present paper therefore aims to study how the claims of history and memory have been employed by the Indian state, post-partition and the place it offers to the claims of collective memory. Secondly, the present paper aims to explore the different ways in which memory has been employed as a weapon of resistance to subvert the statist reading of the Kashmir Question. Further the present paper attempts to understand the layers that constitute the collective memory. Finally, this will in turn enable us to ask- what is the relationship between history and memory in configuring the Kashmiri identity and how does this relationship problematize the Kashmiri identity?
