Kashmir, the paradise on earth with its glorious history, strategic location and unique cultural ethos based on the synthesis of the diverse civilizations, remains the second undecided human problem on the UN agenda, after Palestine. Kashmir has remained an attraction for invaders and aggressors. From the 16th century onwards, it fell to the Mughals, the Pathans, the Sikhs of the Punjab and finally it was sold to a neighbouring Dogra chieftain whose family ruthlessly ruled it for a century. This is where our story takes place. It revolves around the young daughter of a poor widow maidservant who loves a young boy from a poor family. This love affair and the struggle for freedom in Kashmir develops simultaneously. The lovers undergo unexpected vicissitudes just like the freedom Movement, which for the follies and treacheries of its leadership led to an uncertain future of its people including these lovers. The fictional treatment of contemporary political history, the wars fought on its soil, the Indian intransigence, hypocritical vacillation of Pakistan, criminal silence of the UNO and the political opportunism of big powers weave the plot together. The idyllic environs, rich cultural heritage, creative intellect, dexterous and beautiful arts and crafts and mystique in blended sceneries of Kashmir a legend is the backdrop of this original story from a son of the soil.
