Absolutely harrowing account of the lives of people who had to live in the post surveillance stage of Kashmir after 1990. Reading every page, I could feel the anxiety and hopelessness being shared, of people losing their most momentous periods of their lives and how they were being robbed of their life.
How do children born after 1990 understand pranks and games, for them the prison of the state remains the only normal as their childhood is stripped away. Older generations losing their quips and personalities to reflect the internal and outside conflict at all times, no one remains the same. This was an incredible account by Bashir as she writes the raw state of being from her childhood.
