I appreciate that the author is bringing awareness to the people of Kashmir even though I must admit I don't know where Kashmir is. I also don't read nonfiction, so I'll pass on this book.

In the world we live in now, seeing someone apply fairness to everything they do is really hard to come by. So I'm glad there's a book preaching that today, it'll remind readers that fairness is still worth it!
