A world-renowned photographer's spectacular tribute to the land and people of this remote region. The Vale of Kashmir celebrates the people and landscape of Kashmir and the unique way of life that has developed there. John Isaac set out to create a work that would honor both the cultural complexity and the breathtaking beauty of this exotic region. In lush color, he captures the varied details of daily life: canals crowded with houseboats and floating gardens on Dal Lake, the ancient city of Srinagar, the harvesting of saffron, Hindu pilgrimages through the mountains, shepherds on the Himalayan slopes, prayers at the mosque, and the private realm of family life. Isaac writes: "There is something very magical about this place." Here is historical Kashmir, not the country torn apart by war. This is an enchanted and enchanting land seen in 160 magnificent color images from a master photographer.
This book traces the roots of modern-day Kashmir and the role of Sheikh Abdullah in its making. As the most influential political figurehead in twentieth-century Kashmir, he played a crucial role in its transformation from a kingdom to a state in independent India. He was enigmatic and complex, to say the least. Following his meteoric rise, he dominated the political scene for more than 50 years, with enduring impact. The volume presents a keen analysis of pre-Independence events which led to the emergence of a controversial and confused identity of the region. It also looks at other major themes in the political life of Kashmir, including the formation of the Muslim Conference, the plebiscite movement and the Kashmir Accord. A major intervention in the political life of South Asia, this book presents an inside-view of the history of modern Kashmir through the life and times of Sheikh Abdullah. It will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of politics, history, and modern South Asia.

Reminiscences of growing up years carry indescribable sentimentality. Apparently invisible, both these emotions, indescribable and sentimentality, influence everyone’s life to a great extent. The life keeps moving on with a mixed bag of pleasant and unpleasant memories. The nostalgic moments, sometimes work as fill in the blanks in vagueness. Many a time, the compulsions in life keep you on toes, moving from place-to-place meeting different people and also becoming closer to them. Even then, it is not easy to forgo and forget your childhood and adolescence period when ignorance to many challenging aspects of adult life, is innocently a bliss. ‘KASHMIR KONNECTIVITY: A BIOSKETCH’ is story of such a person whose association with others, despite the turmoil and tribulations in their respective lives, drew strength from the togetherness they shared during their childhood and adolescence. Embracing life as it unfolds, they nurture no ill-will. While the places mentioned are real, the names of real individuals have been changed to respect their privacy. The events, based on facts, have been somewhat fictionalised. Rachna Vinod
