Interpretation During Books Curfewed Night

Since the independence of India, Kashmir has been a major concern for not just India but also the world. The issue of Kashmir still is a crucial issue discussed across forums in the global arena and is one of the major hindrances in improving relationship with India’s neighbour and kin of one time. Much has been written about Kashmir and the separatist movement in Kashmir. But the beautifully scripted account of the brutality with which the separatist movement is carried on till date has no precedence. The book, Curfewed Nights, gives an honest, crude, and truthful account of what goes on in the paradise of India which is under the spell of the separatist movement. The author of the book, Basharat Peer, being a Kashmiri himself has related to each and every detail provided in the book from the first hand experiences gathered by him. Since independence of India, many Kashmiri youths have been mesmerised by the terrorism to the extent that they want to join the terrorist organisations even without thinking about their families or themselves. They have illusioned godfathers in the leaders of such terrorist outfits. In fact, the author was sent out of Kashmir by his family, just to keep him away from these painful romances with the militants. The book, Curfewed Night, has a lot of heart-rending accounts of how a mother watches her son who is forced to hold an exploding bomb or how a poet discovers his religion when his entire family is killed or how the politicians are tortured inside the refurbished torture chambers or how villages have been rigged with landmines which kills innocent civilians, and how temples have converted into army bunkers while ancient Sufi shrines have been decapitated in bomb blasts.

Criticize Of Books Curfewed Night

If Injustice was done with kashmiri hindus so was with the innocent muslims. Murder/ death of a human whether one belongs to hindu community or muslim is tragic. But what is worse is living forever under the threat of death, of living in chains. Violence and vioation of human beings is never a solution. Kashmir faced not just viloence but violation of basic humanity irrespective of religion or caste. The kashmir that was, no longer is. It is the culture, tradition, the people who made kashmir,

Basharat Peer is one of those brainwashed mullahs who has grown up on a steady diet of Islam teaching him to hate the kaafir and everything that the kaafir stands for. This includes the kaafir hindustan and hindus and ahem.....hindu indian army. You see, he sees, Indian army as an occupying force in kashmir. Yes, the same kashmir where the rightful owners, the real people who civilized kashmir (kashmiri hindus) have been decimated, uprooted and dehumanized by centuries of never ending genocide

An evocative account of life in Kashmir.Instead of focusing on the politico-historical aspects of the conflict,the author keeps things personal through his own memories and interactions with various actors in the scene - failed militants,disrupted marriages,lost sons,raped brides,dilapidated shrines.What emerges out of this is a book which will make for uncomfortable reading to anyone who sincerely believes in the Idea of India. An important book which must be made mandatory reading for students

I started my year with Curfewed Night. The book by Basharat Peer is blunt about the turmoil of Kashmiri people and its anti Indian stand. It may hurt a few sentiments here and there, but it is what it is in Kashmir. Kashmir, a princely state, was unfortunately straddling between the most politically sensitive states (to-be-countries). After tribal attacks from the Pakistani tribes, the Maharaja of Kashmir, Hari Singh, chose to sign a treaty of accession with India and also demanded a referendum

This book tells the story of Kashmir as seen through the eyes of the author, Basharat Peer. It is a wonderfully written and candid, if a bit biased, account of the beautiful state which is also called Bhuswarga paradise on earth. Some people also call it the Switzerland of India. But the militancy, which started in 1980s, has made it one of the most dangerous and militarized places in the world.The author was a teenager when the militancy started in his home state of Kashmir. Many young boys

Curfewed Night is probably the first account of modern Kashmir written BY a Kashmiri. That alone is remarkable, given that most books on Kashmir, if they're not geopolitical or conflict-resolutionary, are accounts by Indian and Western journalists or activists. Peer is a journalist, so that definitely comes off in his memoir- it's a lot less literary than one would like, but he is definitely able to get his point across. At first, I wanted him to be more analytical- especially at the end, and
