Nyla Ali Khan's subject, Akbar Jehan, was a political activist and
the wife of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, Kashmiri nationalist and
first Muslim Prime Minister of the disputed state of Jammu and
Kashmir. The author employs oral testimonies and relies on written
resources to add layers of understanding to the events that shaped
the history of Kashmir. In this hybrid of memoir and auto/
biography, the author has also interspersed her memories with
descriptions of historical and political events in which Akbar
Jehan and her husband were principal political players.
Each volume in the "Macmillan Anthologies of English Literature"
series contains a representative and wide-ranging selection of
drama, poetry and prose extracted from the literature of English,
Scotland, Ireland and Wales. The items are arranged
chronologically, and supported by full notes and biographical
details of the authors. The writers represented in this volume show
the diversity of writing in our times, from Thomas Hardy to Philip
Larkin, G.B.Shaw to Tom Stoppard, and Henry James to Iris Murdoch.
It also includes fantasy by P.G.Wodehouse, satires by Saki, letters
by Virginia Woolf and speeches by Winston Churchill.
Capturing the history of Kashmir and its cultural and social
evolution, Nyla Ali Kahn deconstructs the life of her grandmother
and other women of her generation to reconceptualize woman's
identity in a politically militarized zone. An academic memoir,
this book succinctly brings together the history, politics, and
culture of Kashmir.
