Despite their immense contributions to all segments of human learning, they were persecuted, and discrimination continued even in post-independence era. The Islamisation of the entire Kashmir polity brought about by thousands of Madarsas cut at the very roots of Kashmiri ethos of liberalism and humanism. The alien gun-culture transformed the paradise into a veritable hell on the earth. Thousands were killed, butchered and tortured. Three lacks of them are in exile and Diaspora.

All this has been exposed in Kashmir: Wail of a Valley. It is the result of the hard labour of Prof. Mohan Lal Koul who has presented the gruesome tragedy of a minority with irrefutable evidence.

This is the second book of the author, first being Kashmir Past and Present: Unravelling the Mystique, which is now a reference book.
