"Kashmir, earlier famous for its heavenly beauty and scenic spots, is now ironically known for unrest, disturbance, violence and above all terrorist activities. For over a decade, Kashmiris—otherwise very peace loving and innocent folks—have suffered at the hands of militants and unlawful elements from within and outside the state.
"A proxy war has been going on for years now as the infiltration from across the border has not stopped despite all efforts and claims. The terrorist training camps, spread over Pakistan occupied Kashmir have proved to be a constant source of the flow of miscreants and so called Jehadis into the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Of late, the terrorism has spread its wings outside the state to New Delhi and distant places like Gandhi Nagar. Kashmiris are still forced to live under the shadow of terrorism.
"This is a comprehensive and authentic, research based documentary work on the state of affairs of Kashmir, Jammu and other parts of the state." (jacket)
