Autumn Leaves
Kashmiri Reminiscences
by Ram Nath Kak
Kashmir has a unique
tradition of recording history. This book, in this
tradition, presents the intimate life of a Kashmiri in
the post-independence era. Such a personal story is a
rarity in India. Ram Nath Kak draws compelling
vignettes of everyday life; a hard childhood, life as
a government official, drama of the war with Pakistan,
meetings with mystics, and so on.
