"Numbers as Political Allies analyses censuses of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) as public goods, collective self-portraits and symbols of modernity and enriches the debates on the political economy of statistics. Using field interviews, archival resources and secondary data, the book tracks how censuses relate to their administrative, legal and political-economic contexts and captures their entire life cycle: from the political and administrative manoeuvring at the preparatory stage to the partisan use of data in policymaking and public debates. The book argues that J&K's data deficit is shaped by, and shapes, ethno-regional, communal and scalar contests across different levels of governance, but the deteriorating quality of metadata limits our ability to evaluate the quality of census data. Further, comparing the experience of J&K with that of other states in India's ethno-geographic periphery, the book argues against resorting to legalistic and technocratic solutions to address the issue of data deficit and suggests possible measures to enhance public trust in the census"--

The present volume is a collection of textual studies on various features of the history and culture of Kashmir. It is mainly based on revised versions of lectures delivered at a "Kashmir panel" held at the 31st German Oriental Conference (DOT) in Marburg in 2010. It deals with the transfer of India’s sacred geography to the highlands of Kashmir in a miniaturized form, a previously unnoticed recording of an appearance of Halley’s Comet in Kashmir by the poet-historian Śrīvara, the historical traces of vocal and instrumental music (saṅgīta) in Kashmir, as well as with the poetical figure bhāṣāśleṣa (simultaneous expression of different meanings in two or more languages) as a peculiarity of Kashmiri writers and critics. Further subjects are the formation of a specifically Kashmiri literary genre— the Kashmiri kathā—and the development of a special style connected to it, and the question, when, where and why did Bhaṭṭa Jayanta write his Nyāyamanjarī. A collection of four contributions, dealing with different aspects of the Mokṣopāya/Yogavāsiṣṭha literature, completes the volume.
