Inside Kashmir
Synopsis
This book is different from so many that have been written on Kashmir. It is not a globe-trotter’s book; it does not describe Kashmir as a sportsman’s paradise or as an ideal ‘beauty spot.’ It is not a delineation of the natural beauty of the ‘Happy Valley’, enlivened by funny character-sketches of ‘Hatos’, as the Punjabi likes to call Kashmiri coolies, or by anecdotes about an interesting trek. Nor, in order to make it readable and amusing enough, have I strung half-truths in a book on "Mother Kashmir" or "Kashmir in Sunlight and Shade. My aim in writing this book has been to explain the general economic and political conditions of the people of Kashmir; to tell the truth about certain recent doings; and, in particular, to give a succinct account of the political incidents of 1931 with those preceding or succeeding them against their historical background and with reference to the larger context of contemporary events in India and the world. I have tried to understand the problem of the masses and the minorities of Kashmir and have described the part played by the different communities and their leaders in making recent history.
