A Kashmiri Century: Portrait of a Society in Flux

A Kashmiri Century is a powerful and rare compilation of human\-interest
stories. Spanning a full century, it throws a compassionate light on the
innocent and hard\-working people who live in the beautiful valley of
Kashmir. The stories are all based on the author\x27s personal experiences,
and her intimate understanding of what it means to be a Kashmiri\-speaking
native. They cover the period from the late 19th century to the present day.
None of the available political treatises have ever delved deeply into the
sociological and the human sides of living in the valley. The author\x27s
intimate insights into Kashmiri society, its evolution in an enticing, remote
valley, and how her people dealt with Kashmir\x27s bitter and tempestuous
history, are sprinkled liberally across the book.
