The Making of Early Kashmir: Landscape and Identity in the Rajatarangini Book Information:

ry? How does a land become a homeland? How are cultural identities formed? The Making of Early Kashmir explores these questions in relation to the birth of Kashmir and the discursive and material practices that shaped it up to the 12th century CE.Reinterpreting the first work of Kashmiri history, Kalhanas Rajatarangini, this book argues that the text was history not despite being traditional Sanskrit poetry but because of it. It elaborated a poetics of place, implicating Kashmirs sacred geography, a stringent critique of local politics and a regional selfhood that transcended the limits of vernacularism.Combined with longue duree testimonies from art, material culture, script and linguistics, this book Jettisons the image of an isolated and insular Kashmir. It proposes a cultural formation that straddled the Western Himalayas and the Indic plains with Kashmir as the pivot. This is the story of the connected histories of the region and the rest of India.
