KASHMIR BHARAT- MUKUTMANI
During my absence from India, another measure development for me is the publication of Hindi translation of my book ," Kashmir: The Crown Jewel of Indic Civilisation"- 'Kashmir Bharat -Mukutmani ' . This simple and perfect translation done by Dr Kshama Kaul has been well received. The book was launched in a function at Ahemdabad attended by many respected names from the field of Hindi literature and journalism. The book focuses on the contribution of Kashmir to the Sanskrit literature , philosophy , aesthetics, science of poetics, medicines, painting , sculpture, medicine, music, theatre and dissemination of knowledge across Himalayas and Pamirs .I am confident that this Hindi translation shall greatly help in making the book more popular especially amongst the younger generation. I repeat ; 'If the contribution of Kashmiris to the corpus of Sanskrit literature is removed, more than fifty percent of Sanskrit literature of the world will vanish'. This statement will be understood in its proper perspective only after reading this book.
The original English version of book has been gifted by me to some libraries in Europe and the US. During my recent( August 2025) travel through Utah State of the US, I personally delivered a copy to the book to the Park City Public Library . I am hopeful that the book shall soon get translated into French and Urdu.
My sincere gratitude to Dr Kshama Kaul for this great effort.This translation reveals her deep intellectual insights and an unmatched command over the language . Nothing better could have happened to this book . I salute the translator's dedication, zeal and passion . Published by Pralek Prakashan , Mumbai,the book is available on Amazon at this link.
