Kashmir has been written about and described by numerous authors of different languages. This book is different in as much as it does not describe the natual beauty, the landscape, the lofty mountains, the gushing waters, the picturesque meadows and the flora and fauna of this enchanting vally. It is truly a window on their life, language, culture, philosophy and customs. It throws light on the literature, festival, shrines and the sages of this land of kashyapa. It also touches briefly upon the termoil, the terrorism and the political upheaval that has resulted in mass exodus of three lakhs kashimri pandits from their hearths and homes and has threatend their very identity.
