Secrets of the Kashmir Valley by Farhana Qazi, who's an American with Pakistani origins, is a book that attempts to share the story of Kashmir. I agree with the author: it's a beautiful, magical land, and it also has a lot of violence due to terrorism. I sampled the book and found quite a few factual inaccuracies and felt it was one-sided. One instance was this sentence, "Kashmir was a casual invention of British colonial masters..." Congratulations on the BOTD, though!

War usually harms all people in the war areas whether physically, mentally, or emotionally. This is a great book exploring the concept. Congrats on BOTD

Hi @Dalia Chf, I just read your comments on the official review of "Secrets of the Kashmir Valley" and I agree that war is terrible and to fight over this valley instead of sharing it is something I do not understand. The loss of life has been tragic. @Mrlefty0706
