| Summary/Abstract |
Conflict inherently affect, even reshape, the social fabric of any society in ways both positive and negative. Apart from changing livelihoods and behavioural patterns, prolonged conflicts also affect the lexicon and language of particular society. Kashmir has now been witness to a bloody dispute for over two decades. Over that period, Indian military forces and Kashmiri militants have in turn employed new weapons and strategies, which were initially new and strange to the local Kashmiri-speaking populace.
