Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: The Formation Of The Indian State And Its Post-Colonial Condition: Field, Capital And Doxa -- Chapter 3: We Are Still Here: The Habitus That Resigns And That Challenges Necropolitics -- Chapter 4: Final Considerations: Solidarity, Resistance And Defeat.

This book engages the concept of necropolitics to present a vision of how to understand the physical body as a space of power and resistance to social order, in the context of the Kashmir resistance. The author sheds new light on the relations between India and Pakistan, with a focus on tensions over the Kashmir region, in order to better understand the emergence and stabilization of the narrative that criminalizes and thus justifies the population that rebels against state actions in the region. The research draws from archival and interview research and presents the reader with new insight into both conceptual and material dimensions of necropolitics.
