Summary/Abstract |
Five decades of conflicts in Kashmir and Tibet continue into the twenty-first century without clear signs of resolution. In this article, I focus on issues of collective rights, national identity, and state sovereignty in these two conflicts to ask what political recourses exist for Tibetans or citizens of Jammu and Kashmir in today's changing world? As citizens of differently organized states and subjects to dissimilar conflicts, what methods and types of conflict resolution might Tibetans and Kashmiris have shared access to? Both of these post-WWII conflicts have been framed and defined by the two core states involved, India and China. Analytically, therefore, I draw on anthropological and political constructivist work on the state to suggest possible non-violent, community-oriented solutions to these conflicts.

Summary/Abstract |
This special issue of India Review is about public anthropology: socially relevant, theoretically informed, and politically engaged ethnographic scholarship. Our editor and twelve contributors explore what happens when we preface anthropology with "public." We argue that if our goal is for anthropology to not be solely an extractive enterprise, but an ethnographic one in the spirit of exchange, then it must be an engaged endeavor. Yet, what is public anthropology and how is it done? Additionally, why is public anthropology worth pursuing now, and why in India? In this issue we explore these questions by trying to capture the energy of current anthropological work in India. We provide here a glimpse into how some archaeologists and cultural anthropologists are practicing and envisioning public anthropology.
