The celebrated author Dr. C.K. Gariyali, talks about the creation of the Sunkist valley of Kashmir by Sage Kashyapa for settling intellectual rishis and scholars, the ‘Kashmiri Pundits’. She narrates the saga of their glorious past, followed by centuries of Islamist tyranny, being subjected to rape, loot and killings, culminating in their exodus from their home of five thousand years. Yet, the book, with great pride, celebrates and documents the most ancient cultural heritage of this resilient community for the posterity to preserve and emulate.
