Anecdote, History and Kashmir: And Other Essays

Author Name: Ghulam Mohammad Khan | Format: Paperback | Genre : Letters & Essays | Other Details

This collection of essays invites readers to explore the intersections of history, literature, politics, and the deeply personal. With meticulous attention to detail, the essays and reflections unravel the sociopolitical and cultural fabric of a region shaped by layered identities, lived realities, and the enduring challenges of belonging and resilience.

Through anecdotes, literary critiques, and counter-narratives, the essays challenge dominant discourses and offer a deeply personal lens into memory, displacement, and survival. Kashmir serves as the unifying thread, binding these narratives while illuminating its role as both the backdrop and a mirror to broader human struggles.

Challenging the reader to reconsider their understanding of truth, history, and the complexities of human existence, this collection is a testament to the enduring power of words to illuminate, disrupt, and transform.

Ghulam Mohammad Khan

Ghulam Mohammad Khan was born and raised in Sonawari (Bandipora); an outlying town located on the wide shores of the beautiful Wullar Lake. Ghulam Mohammad believes that literature is the most original and enduring repository of human memory. He loves the inherent intricacies of language and the endless possibilities of meaning. In his writing, he mainly focuses on mini-narratives, local practices and small-scale events that could otherwise be lost forever to the oblivion of untold histories. Ghulam Mohammad considers his hometown, faith, and family to be the most important things to him. His short stories have appeared in national and international magazines like Out of Print, Kitaab, Indian Literature, Muse India, Indian Review, Inverse Journal, Mountain Ink and more. His short story collection The Cankered Rose is his forthcoming work. Presently, he teaches as an Assistant Professor at HKM Degree College Bandipora, Kashmir.
