This book takes the reader down unexplored and uncomfortable
avenues of beautiful and enchanting but troubled and war-riven
Kashmir Valley. It analyses the ups and downs of Kashmir's ailing
political health since the beginning of Dogra rule more than 150
years ago, until the present time. The author has pulled off the
task of juxtaposing the history of Kashmir, with a history of its
medical and educational development, interweaving his own
experiences of growing up in Srinagar - the capital of Kashmir, to
illuminate the readership with specific aspects of his story. The
book gives an insight into various aspects of British involvement
in Kashmir, describes the pioneering work of the UK missionaries in
its social, educational and healthcare development, and points to
the reciprocal contribution of the Kashmiris to present day British
society. It describes the impact of political events in the
international arena on Kashmir, particularly after the partition of
British India. It traces the development of Kashmiri political
thought process and examines the roles of various personalities
from within and outside Kashmir who shaped the painful destiny of
this land and its people.
