#BookOverview Kasheer : A Diabolical Betrayal of Kashmiri Hindus by @SahanaVijay

This is Kashmir’s story. Originally written in Kannada, it is translated into English by @shanthigrama, who is a London-based technology professional

@SahanaVijay @shanthigrama @IndicaBooks Thus comes the plainitive cry of Kailash Pandit

The reporting on Kashmir has whitewashed the human tragedy of Kashmiri Hindus

This book retells the tale in a fictionalized account which is all too real
@SahanaVijay @shanthigrama @IndicaBooks It catches the facts of deception, betrayal, propaganda and political ambitions that have all but erased the memories of oppression of Kashmiri Hindus from the nation’s conscience

It extricates the truth of human tragedy and presents it with brutal honesty
@SahanaVijay @shanthigrama @IndicaBooks Thus, Kailash Pandit’s question, trapped in his head, or Aarti Kaul’s unconceived womb become powerful metaphors of what happened to Kashmiri Hindus

It is time for Kailash Pandit to speak; this is his story
