Description



Book Synopsis



For readers fascinated by stories of political corruption, a daughter's account of seeking truth and justice after her father is murdered by Indian police amid war and state violence in Kashmir.

Huma Sheikh was on a train, traveling with her father, Ghulam Nabi Sheikh--a celebrated Kashmiri musician and broadcaster--when he disappeared from his bunk overnight. Days later, her family discovered he had been murdered by Indian police--and cremated against all laws and their Muslim traditions.

Murder in Kashmir follows Huma's journey through corrupt legal systems, police cover-ups, media silence, and cultural stigma to reclaim her father's story. As a Kashmiri woman, she confronted not only political oppression but also the gender discrimination deepened by war in her fight for answers.

Blending personal loss with political truth-telling, Murder in Kashmir offers a voice to the silenced and hope to those who have survived trauma. It is both a record--so such atrocities are not forgotten--and a warning, so they are not repeated.
