As a result, the people of this region and its rich history are often forgotten. This short introduction untangles the complex issue of Kashmir to help readers understand not just its past, present, and future, but also the sources of the existing misconceptions about it.\u003cbr\u003eIn lucidly written prose, the author presents a range of ways in which Kashmir has been imagined by its inhabitants and outsiders over the centuries-a sacred space, homeland, nation, secular symbol, and a zone of conflict. Kashmir thus emerges in this account as a geographic entity as well as a composite of multiple ideas and shifting boundaries that were produced in specific historical and political contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChitralekha Zutshi, \u003cem\u003eJames Pinckney Harrison Professor, History, The College of William \u0026amp; Mary, Virginia, US\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChitralekha Zutshi is professor of history at The College of William \u0026amp; Mary, Virginia, USA.
