The author provides a different view point on the history of Bhotias, who live in the Kumaon borderland, the home of great Gods – Dev Bhoomi. Going against the general perception about Bhotias, shaped by the acclaimed historians, may not be easy, but the author, who himself is a Bhotia, has done it with his reasoned explanations and dexterity. The author also unfolds several interesting facts about Dev Bhoomi, which readers may find quite informative. It adds to the existing knowledge on the Himalayas.In the second part, the author reminisces his childhood spent in the hills. The author draws from the deep bond and the affinity that he has with those villages.His simple, heartwarming and thought-provoking childhood stories will take you to the village life in the hills, the land of Gods, and offer you a perfect escape from dusty plains and fill you with the beauty of nature in its simplest form.
