The author reflects on their complex, nearly 20-year relationship with Jammu, a city they inhabit but do not fully possess. They observe Jammu's identity shaped by a search for Dogra pride over linguistic heritage and its reactive politics, particularly concerning the Kashmir Valley. The city's overwhelming support for the abrogation of Article 370 is noted, alongside an underlying unease about its consequences, highlighting Jammu's perpetual state of liminality.
