Excerpt from Character Building in Kashmir
Now, the Kashmiris are our fellow subjects; it is up to us to help them all we can to regain their ancient powers, to become self-respecting men once more, and to add to this that which alone can make them fit to meet their Spiritual enemies - the power of Christ Jesus. If to know Christ is anything to us, it is our joy to pass on that knowledge.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of a 29 year long struggle by the author to transform the lives of the citizens of Srinagar, Kashmir, through education. It begins with the author's realization that the only way to reform the "jellyfish" boys of the region was to awaken them to the truth through physical activity. The book focuses on the challenges and successes of establishing a western-style education system in the region and demonstrates the importance of perseverance in dispelling societal ills. A major accomplishment in this was the training of boys in paddling and boating, which was considered to be an unacceptable occupation for someone of high caste, and thus opening doors to the boys who participated. Ultimately, The book is not only a chronicle of the author's experiences but also a testament to the power of education to change lives and communities.
