About Aleena Mehta
Hi, my name is Aleena Mehta and I am a sophomore at Barnard College, majoring in Economics with a minor in Political Science. I grew up in Jammu and Kashmir, India, and hence have always been fascinated by the field of geopolitics. My research at the Laidlaw Foundation would revolve around extrapolating a relationship between state sovereignty and civil rights violations in the Kashmir crisis. This includes understanding the threat to the autonomy and stability of non-state actors in periods of territorial conflicts while investigating the recent socio-economic developments in the region.

Navigating Silence: Overcoming Censorship and Fear in Researching
The Kashmir crisis is often framed in terms of politics and territory, overshadowing the actual lives affected by the conflict. My summer research aimed to change that by putting human experiences front and center. I conducted two key interviews, but the path to securing them was far from easy.
Abstract for Summer 1 Research
This is the abstract for my research, in which, I delve into the Kashmir Crisis with a focus on unveiling its often disregarded human dimensions. Steering away from conventional state-centric analyses, I aim to shed light on the intricate socio-political fabric of the region.
