Rattan Lal Shant, Javaid Iqbal Bhat
Description
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 the 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 a 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.
