Annotation:
	"Discusses Hu Xuehua’s Prince of the Himalayas (2006) and Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider (2014) across overlapping local, regional and (inter)national imaginaries of Tibet and Kashmir, and considers the possibilities of rendering the story and circumstances of Hamlet legible within these borderland contact zones." Notes that "Shakespeare’s continuing popularity in India, and his reputation as an exemplary Western playwright in the Chinese context, have enabled film directors to use him as a cultural tool to empower subaltern voices, albeit asymmetrically."
