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.
