Title of Research:

Why Violence Prevails: Understanding Jihadist Recruitment and Counterterrorism in Kashmir

Brief overview of research topic:

Shaswati’s research examines and explains why recruitment into jihadist groups in Kashmir remains (un)changed, in the wake of coercive counterterrorism and peacebuilding initiatives. The research intersects with the social movement theory framework to examine dominant transnational jihadist groups in the India-Pakistan region, their recruitment practices in Kashmir, as well as political and geopolitical structures that impact such groups.
