Pothik Ghosh on Kashmir and the question of sovereignty: Sovereignty as an ideology animated by a concrete struggle against oppression is always a dialectic of competitive empowerment, and emancipation from power. A determinate break with the field of power – which is a field of hierarchically structured identities – is what the latter amounts to. The former, on the other hand, is a manoeuvre of competitive bargaining to improve one’s position within that field. Only by grasping this dialectical articulation of sovereignty can one distinguish sovereignty as an ideology of struggle against oppression from sovereignty as an ideology of exclusivism. Such a politico-theoretical move is essential to the production of the science of critique of political economy and revolution. kashmirreader/whos-afraid-of-sovereignty-17085 Mir Hilal, Najeeb Mubarki, Parvaiz Bukhari, Mohamad Junaid, Ather Zia, Huma Dar, Bilal Bhat, Aala Fazili, Khurram Parvez, Simona Sawhney, Suvaid Yaseen, Amit Sheikh Chilli
