Gujjar-Bakarwals: The Forgotten People of Kashmir
They form 12% of the population of J & K, and yet their story is missing from the larger discourse of Kashmir. The Gujjar-Bakarwals are the nomadic pastoralists who migrated from Rajasthan in the 6th Century, and continue to live off the land. This week, in the third episode of the Kashmir Diaries, we delve into the uncertain future of the community, caught in the web of nationalism, religion, environmental conversation and a disappearing lifestyle. Tune in, and understand the uncomfortable complexities they live in, and what it tells us about Kashmir and the world at large.
