If you’ve ever considered learning about Kashmir and the Pakistani-Indian conflict that has been going on since 1947, there couldn’t be a more opportune time. This summer, we will launch our KickStarter campaign for Masla e Kashmir: The Ewige Land (The Eternal Land), a graphic novel focusing on the Pakistani-Indian conflict in Kashmir. We hope readers of this blog post will contribute to our campaign and learn something new about the struggle between India and Pakistan — especially if they live in North America or Europe — and perhaps understand what is happening in this region beyond headlines of bombs and soldiers. It might even make you question your own assumptions of what is or isn't right. Masla e Kashmir is a graphic novel that takes place in Kashmir between 1947 and 2027, an Iranian-style history that is intended to be accessible to casual readers. The story follows the alternating perspectives of Muslim Muslim League activist Saima Majeed, Pakistani Army officer Major Bilal Rashid, Kashmiri Pandit activist Jaki Rashid and Indian Army officer Captain Sanjiv Kapoor. The comic focuses on the two people at the center of the conflict: political activist Saima Majeed and Captain Sanjiv Kapoor. Readers will discover how and why they came to the positions they held and what role they play. Saima Majeed, the daughter of a Pandit politician, sided with the Muslim League and Pakistan after independence and became a prominent activist in the Kashmir conflict. But she is ultimately forced to make a terrible choice: does she stand by her principles and her family or does she betray them to protect her country? Sanjiv Kapoor, raised in India and loyal to his country, fights for what he believes is right during his career in the Indian Army. But he makes an equally terrible choice: does he continue to serve his country or does he risk everything to stop it? These two characters are at the heart of Masla e Kashmir. Their paths intersect throughout the story, both of them having to make difficult choices that affect the course of events in Kashmir. Saima Majeed and Sanjiv Kapoor are not the only characters. They are joined by a team of supporting characters, including: In 1947, India is celebrating its independence from British rule. The Muslim League from Western India wants to create an independent country for Muslims called Pakistan that would be east of British India. Saima Majeed, a Kashmiri Pandit living in Oudh (present-day Lucknow) England England with her family watches as riots erupt between Hindus and Muslims over the creation of this new country. The Pandits begin to worry about their future in a country that might become Muslim. Saima sees an opportunity to escape the turmoil in India and settle in Pakistan. Her father, Pandit Birju Majeed, is a supporter of the Muslim League and sees this as an opportunity to help create the new state. He calls on his old friend, Fatima Aziz, who is close with Muhammad Ali Jinnah, to help them get settled in Pakistan. Saima and her family stay at the house of Muhammad and Fatima Aziz for three months while looking for a home. During that time she meets several prominent figures in Pakistani politics and assists the Muslim League with voter registration efforts. cfa1e77820
