The Valley of Kashmir long famous around the world for its unparalleled natural scenic beauty also has a rich cultural heritage with religious tolerance and amity among people belonging to different religious faiths as its core. The arrival of Islam in the late fourteenth century and its interaction with an ancient Shaiva Tradition resulted in the emergence of a liberal version of the faith. It was a turning point in Kashmir's history. Popular culture grew rich with folktale song dance and music and with what craftsman could weave stitch and shape with their nimble fingers. When self rule came in 1947 it was overshadowed by armed intervention to secure the accession of the state of Jammu and Kashmir to Pakistan. The dispute over the issue is still unresolved. Within the valley years of opportunistic policies pursued by Delhi and corruption and misgovernance by Srinagar proved to be fertile soil for the eruption of a violent Jehadi Secessionist Movement around 1980 that drove the Hindu minority into exile tore apart the composite culture and resulted in large scale loss of life and property. There are signs visible today that the utter futility of the path of violence which engendered counter violence has dawned on some of its votaries. These and other issues are addressed in this volume by a galaxy of scholars including Kashmiris from India France Germany the UK and the USA under the thoughtful editorship of Aparna Rao who sadly died before the work could be placed with a publisher. Throughout the preparation of this volume Rao worked in consultation with Professor T.N. Madan. The result is a book rich in information insights and interpretations that entitle it to stand alongside Walter Lawrence's classic work The Valley of Kashmir (1985) form which its title is borrowed. 758 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 73048
