  'Burning Knowledge': My Book Is Among Those Banned by the Jammu & Kashmir Administration
 Piotr Balcerowicz
It has come to my notice that the government of Jammu and Kashmir, home department, banned two of three monographs, which I have co-authored, on the situation in the territories of the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir, namely Human Rights Violations in Kashmir (Routledge, 2022), and Law and Conflict Resolution in Kashmir (Routledge, 2022), leaving out – for reasons unknown to me – the third monograph Kashmir in India and Pakistan Policies (Routledge, 2022). My two monographs were included in the list of 25 titles proscribed (‘forfeited’) on 5th August, 2025.
