About The Book
Description
Author
Set in the once-fabled land of Kashmir Behold I Shine moves beyond male voices and focuses instead on what the struggle means for the Valley’s women and children—those whose husbands remain untraceable; whose mothers are half-widows; those who have confronted the wrath of ‘Ikhwanis’ or the scrutiny of men in uniform and what it means to stand up to it all.This book also brings to focus the resilience of the Valley’s women and children—of activists like Parveena Ahangar and Anjum Zamrud Habib who after debilitating losses start human rights organizations; of ordinary homemakers like Munawara who have taken on the judiciary and of a young generation of thinkers like Uzma Falak and Essar Batool who foreground the interaction of gender politics and religion and won’t let Kashmir forget.Stitching together their narratives Behold I Shine not only memorializes women’s voices—thus far forgotten unwritten suppressed or side-lined—but also celebrates the mighty spirit of the Valley.
