| The
two of us having gone through Shri P.N. Razdan's Gems of Kashmiri Literature
And Kashmiriyat-1, declare that it is a work of loving labour, and of deep
personal conviction, as is very pertinent to the time in which we live
presently. We are touched. Whatever the author writes, and the way he interprets
the three great saints of the valley, become meaningful universally. The
Vakhs have, at the same time, been rendered into English feelingly. One
does move to many of them, despite the difficulties of rendition in another
tongue. These, therefore, are not merely of academic interest, but charged
with moments of academic inspiration for the reader. It could be that the
style of the volume could be edited a bit more, and made tighter, but nevertheless
these shortcomings are overcome by the genuineness of the message behind
the work.
One looks forward to next volume in the series. Keshav Malik
