Edited by Basharat Beer with an Introduction by Pankaj Mishra
In sixteen long years the beautiful valley of Kashmir has been devastated by a seemingly interminable militancy. In the debris, with destroyed buildings and extinguished lives, and as the politics has become more knotted, one of the casualties has been hope. And along with it language. And literature. Now, for the first time since the battles for Kashmir began, even as the dark clouds that have been gathered over this paradise land finally make as if to part, a digest of fiction, non-fiction and poetry from the inside: the sharpest Kashmiri writers describe the past, present and their hopes of the future.
