The Homecoming by Shashi Warrier


There is a story in every family in Kashmir Valley. And The Homecoming by Shashi Warrier produces a picture perfect scene of horror in which all the families are going through from last two decades.

It is the story of one family, but also of the many families in Kashmir whose lives have been destroyed by decades of violence and uncertainty. Deeply moving and disturbingly honest, this is a haunting tale that is political yet profoundly personal, and tells of the pain and suffering that is a result of the cruelty—and ultimately the indifference—of the state.

Javed Sharif returns home to Srinagar for his father’s eighty-fourth birthday.Birthday Party was in full swing when his friend now a police inspector Ghulam Rasool came to his house and arrest him and his son under POTA.Now that’s how his struggle begin and his dreams to settle again in his home become smoky.

A amazing book about valley.Read it to see the pain in their eyes.
