Life
Kaul was born in Kashmir and has lived in the UK for over a decade. She is currently a lecturer at the Centre for the Study of Democracy at the University of Westminster in London and participates mainly in researching the democratisation of Bhutan. She travels there regularly and writes books, articles and columns for The Guardian and The Times of India about the region of Kashmir.
The first book by Kaul, Imagining Economics Otherwise: encounters with Identity/Difference (2007), is a monograph on economics and philosophy. Her first novel, Residue (2009) was shortlisted for the Man Asian Literary Prize, and Kaul was called an inspiration for Kashmiri women. It was the first novel in English by a Kashmiri woman. It was, however, criticized for its prose being too excessive.
