World Literature Today: "Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah’s Reflections on Kashmir by Nyla Ali Khan"

“Nyla Khan had done vital service to our understanding of the plight of the Kashmiri people by putting together the writings and speeches of Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah. Sheikh Abdullah - decades after his death - remains an important voice for justice and peace in the region. Any observer of the region who ignores his words will fail to grasp the possibilities for Kashmir's future.”

Vijay Prashad, author of No Free Left: The Futures of Indian Communism

“This book reflects Dr. Nyla Ali Khan's meticulous intellectual engagement with the larger-than-life Kashmiri leader, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, who was much more than a politician. Abdullah opened up the possibilities of imagining a different Kashmir than what the nationalism projects of India and Pakistan dictated. His speeches, letters and interviews explain why Kashmiri voices have been subsumed by jingoism in the subcontinent - to deflect and undermine the inclusive and pluralist Kashmiri identity. This is an invaluable resource for students, researchers and all those who wish to understand the conflict ridden subcontinent and its elusive Paradise called Kashmir.”
