Stories on the Sorrows of Kashmir
Summary
The book recreates a past of Hindus and Muslims living together in Kashmir. The atmosphere of togetherness is rife. Almost perfect.
The stories also return the reader to the awful conditions of Hindu refugees as they began to live in refugee camps in Jammu and other places of India.
The Muslims back home in Kashmir have their terrible demons to deal with. While Hindus as migrants are cut off from roots and long for home, Muslims are in an unprecedented mess caught up in the tangles of violence and counter-violence.
The lives of both are in tatters. Only hope seems to be the memory of togetherness, which may heal.
