Firdoos Ahmad Reshi

Peace, Youth, Kashmir, Conflict, India and Pakistan

The Kashmir conflict is characterized by its intricate blend of territorial and ideological dimensions. Territorially, it revolves around the disputed region claimed by both India and Pakistan, each vying for control. Ideologically, Pakistan views Kashmir's integration as pivotal to the fulfillment of the "Two Nation Theory" formulated by Jinnah in 1940, thereby considering it an essential component of its national narrative. This study endeavors to investigate the conceptualization of peace among the youth of Kashmir within this multifaceted context, along with the challenges they encounter. Employing a qualitative methodology, data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with 40 participants. Upon exploring the question of peace in Kashmir, diverse perspectives emerged among participants depending on their interest and identities, position of power. The study came across various conceptions of peace like positive, negative, internal and external. However, the dominant understanding of peace among youth is informed the John Galtung’s conception of positive peace.
