About the Book:
This book provides a comprehensive account of the Kashmiri Pandit community, tracing their rich history, cultural heritage, and the challenges they have faced over time. It explores how this ancient community, known for its contributions to learning, philosophy, and literature, has evolved from medieval times to the modern era.
The book delves into the traditions, customs, and way of life of the Kashmiri Pandits, analyzing the changes brought about by historical events, particularly the impact of colonial education and English language introduction in the 19th century. A major focus of the book is on the forced displacement of Kashmiri Pandits due to religious persecution, ethnic cleansing, and terrorism in 1989, which led to their exile from their homeland. It discusses the social, cultural, and emotional challenges faced by nearly half a million displaced individuals, living as refugees in their own country.
The book also examines the role of transport and communication advancements in connecting Kashmir with the rest of India, which helped shape the community's modern identity while retaining their distinct cultural traditions.
A valuable resource for historians, sociologists, scholars of Indian culture, and anyone interested in the history of Kashmir, this book offers an in-depth analysis of one of India's oldest communities and its struggle for cultural survival.
