Tral In Pulwama Kashmir

History has its own ways of recording events and drawing inferences. It deals with the past, deliberates over the present and silently ruminates over the future. The wise draw a lesson from it while the naïve consider giving it use-and-throw treatment.

Some events are firmly rooted in logic and are well documented. However, there are also events with obliterated contours that leave space for surmises or subjective interpretation.

This book, 'Tral in Pulwama, Kashmir' is a voluntary attempt to retrieve and record events that otherwise were in the throes of extinction and no future generation would have even the remotest idea of its antiquity and historicity. The reason for this dismal prospect springs from the extirpation of the entire ancient community of Kashmiri Pandits from their millennia-old homeland.
