Centre for Kashmir Analysis and Research (C-KAR) is an independent think-tank based in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir.
Based on research, we provide impartial and unbiased qualitative analysis in the form of political commentaries, policy inquiries, and in-depth write-ups.
Our core areas of interest are but not limited to:
- Infrastructure and Life
- Politics and Governance
- Security and Strategy
- Tourism and Environment
We aim to be a prominent opinion-maker with far-reaching influence, sparking conversations that resonate wide. We offer much more than just facts and figures; we delve into the heart of the matter, providing insightful analyses that transcend the typical media narrative. In a world inundated with a chaotic flood of information, both truth and misinformation seem to whirl like leaves in a storm. What’s truly needed is more than just data – it’s about fostering knowledge-sharing platforms that embrace authentic experiences, candid opinions, and fresh perspectives, all grounded in solid analytical reasoning. We’re here to illuminate rather than simply inform, connecting the dots in ways that ignite thought and provoke dialogue.
C-KAR stands decisively at the crossroads of thought and exploration, driven by a fervent desire to empower voices and spark meaningful dialogue. Here, questioning is encouraged, but imposition is eschewed. We thrive in a vibrant intellectual space where passionate debates flourish, all while upholding a spirit of respect and open-mindedness.
C-KAR doesn’t rope itself to a single agenda or narrative. Instead, we shine a light on a myriad of ideas and arguments, inviting them to engage and coalesce – only the most valid and sound notions will endure scrutiny. We proudly welcome imaginative and skilled writers, those who embrace the challenge of sharing their unique perspectives but who also commit to backing their views with thoughtful, rational discourse. That, in essence, is what fuels the heart and soul of C-KAR.
Our Board is a vibrant body comprising exceptional thinkers, sharp analysts, insightful academics, and innovative entrepreneurs hailing from every corner of the region. At C-KAR, we take immense pride in the rich diversity of our board and our writers. Our community thrives on a blend of political perspectives, generational experiences, and academic backgrounds, creating a landscape that is not just wide-ranging but also strikingly well-rounded.
