BOOK REVIEW: POSTBOX KASHMIR
DUCKBILL PUBLISHERS
DIVYA ARYA

This is the story of Kashmir, and India, through the eyes of two teenage girls who become pen pals as part of a BBC project. The girls write about their perceptions and their experienced realities as they become young adults in the backdrop of the political events mostly between 2017 and 2019. The poignant letters reflect all possible emotions …anger, despondency, resignation, joy; and most importantly hope and faith

A must-read to understand how this generation might view the changing world around them, and the questions that they search for answers to. Also a must-read to give us a context of the situation in Kashmir over the last many decades.
