Gulliver’s x-ray vision captures disintegrated and disoriented lives of the Kashmiris. Nothing else exists for him except the paradoxical politics and history of Kashmir.Kashmiri Muslims, Kashmiri Pandits, politicians, security forces and the shapers of events are compressed in these disturbing and burning pages. The comic cameos hint at the disasters, shameless acts, tragic happenings and insane behaviour of some people. The enigmatic snippets are shocking, seductive, unsettling and provocative like truth. They uncover the tragedy and comedy of the Muslims of Kashmir and of the Pandits scattered throughout India and the world. The reader has to pierce through the cameos and see behind the façade. Each cameo pricks and shocks, and points towards the corridor to sanity. The thread of cognition runs throughout.Gulliver in Kashmir (A Book of Cameos) is a collage of blunders, mutilations, rantings and counterblasts. It contains the ethics of anguish and the exuberance of the weak and the gullible.
