Rezensionen

"Muslim Kashmiri women's role and agency in politics was not accidental, but historical. ... Kashmiri Muslim women, the governing bodies should give more impetus to education, which will allow women to play a greater role in the transformation of society. The author's praiseworthy research deserves appreciation." (Firdous Hameed Parey, South Asia Research, Vol. 41 (3), 2021)
