== Content ==<br />
Varma's scholarship discusses the broad effects of, what she calls, India's occupation of Kashmir on the mental health of local population.<ref name=":1" /> She probes into how local psychiatric clinics tackle these issues but in the process, become microcosms of the broader political fractures governing Kashmir.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|title=Saiba Varma, "The Occupied Clinic: Militarism and Care in Kashmir"…|url=https://newbooksnetwork.com/the-occupied-clinic|access-date=2021-09-17|website=New Books Network|language=en}}</ref><br />
