Kashmir In Search of Peace

A physician with a literary bent, Dr. Bég uses simple words to convey his thoughts on Kashmir's political and humanitarian turmoil which he has been witness to for more than a half century. The book is a collection of the authors various articles written in journals and newspapers over the last several decades. Having been born and raised in the midst of the turbulent political atmosphere, the author uses his sharp sensibility to shed light on what unfortunately isn't always obvious to the powers that be. Through humility and reason, Dr. Bég guides the reader on a more illuminated path where one realizes that truly, as Gandhi once said, there is no road to peace... peace is the road, in Kashmir and throughout the world. The style of the book is as simple and straightforward as the author himself. "In these truly illuminating pages, Dr. Bég urges us to join him and pray for what we are craving for in the entire world today: peace and goodwill. That is the very theme and crowning glory of this book." --- Agha Ashraf Ali, PhD
