About The Bookin This Haunting, Probing Book, An Award-Winning Journalist Interviews Ordinary Kashmiris About Tales Of War In Their Homes And Communities.In Kashmir, Folktales Often Begin With The Word Dapaanit Is Said. So Too Do Local Narratives Told And Retold About The Past, Among People Who Have Lived Through Nearly Eight Decades Of A Bitter Contest Between India And Pakistan.This Is A Story About Stories. In The Hyper-Nationalist Din Over A Territorial Dispute, Kashmiri Voices Are Often Drowned Out. Yet The Region Is Home To Long Habits Of Storytelling, Its Communities Intensely Engaged With History-Keeping. For Centuries, Folk Traditions Of Theatre, Song And Fable Have Flowed Into A Reservoir Of Common Talk. Mythology, Hearsay And Historical Memory Coexist Here Without Any Apparent Hierarchies.By The Time Armed Rebellion Spread Through Kashmir In 1989, Many Of These Traditions Had Died Out, Or Been Forced Underground.
