This is an inspiring and living historical narrative of courage, depicting the valor, struggle, and sacrifices of the people of Jammu and Kashmir in their fight against terrorism. It is a glorious saga of how society struck back at terrorism and ultimately achieved victory over it.In this book, you will learn how the personal bravery of individuals filled with patriotism, combined with the collective organized strength of society — even while remaining unarmed — can confront heavily armed modern terrorists and completely thwart their designs to disintegrate the country.
Right at the beginning of the book, the article “From Kashyap Marg to Kashmir Valley” outlines the historical events of Jammu and Kashmir and describes its changing present scenario. Along with this, it vividly portrays the horrific face of terrorism. After providing valuable information for researchers, the book then begins the real saga — the stories of brave local residents who, in the face of terrorist bullets, courageously stepped forward with their chests exposed and fought back.
When in 1990 the Kashmir Valley was devastated by terrorist atrocities and more than three lakh Hindus were forced to flee, the separatist forces celebrated their “success” and started dreaming of spreading their reign of terror. Armed with modern weapons like AK-47, AK-56 rifles, and rocket launchers, they planned to shake the Pir Panjal, Chenab Valley, and Krishna Valley, and displace their inhabitants as well. They were fully confident that within a few months they would bring the entire mountainous region under their terrorist control.But the brave patriots of the Chenab Valley — the courageous residents of its towns and villages — stopped the advancing footsteps of terrorism. Society continued to suffer from terrorist atrocities and became victims of terrorist bullets, yet the courage and resolve to fight terrorism remained unshaken. As a result, society did not get displaced — it stood firm, and terrorism began to suffer defeat.
In this book, you will be introduced to those inspiring stories of courage, determination, bravery, and sacrifice. You will read how a patriot, knowing fully well that he would become a victim of a terrorist attack, fearlessly declared: “Until a Hindu leader is martyred, society will not awaken.” The very next day, that brave man was shot dead by terrorists and became a martyr — but he awakened the entire society against terrorism.You will read how a school teacher single-handedly twisted the necks of two terrorists and saved the lives of thirty-five bus passengers, before laying down his own life as an immortal sacrifice.
You will learn how groups of young men joined hands with the army in anti-terror operations, dug the graves of terrorism, and themselves embraced death.Your heart will swell with pride when you read how a young girl, who used to cut grass and milk cows, showed extraordinary courage and with a single blow of an axe, chopped off the head of a terrorist Area Commander.Not only this, you will read stories of Kashmiri youth who joined the army, destroyed terrorist hideouts, dreamed of transforming their Kashmir, and attained martyrdom. Some were awarded the Vir Chakra and Ashok Chakra. Many brave fighters cheated death repeatedly and rose again to fight.In the end, the courage and fighting spirit of society exhausted terrorism. Fear of terrorists gradually diminished. The land and faith of the local people were protected. This living history of extraordinary bravery is still scattered across the soil, courtyards, lanes, and streets of Jammu and Kashmir.
This book, with eighty such inspiring narratives, is dedicated to the people of India and the world so that the entire nation and the global community may know about this societal victory of Jammu and Kashmir over terrorism. It pays humble tribute to those valiant fighters. The book presents a vivid and living portrait of courage before your eyes, which will make every pore of your body thrill with pride, righteous anger, and deep compassion.
Therefore, this is not just an ordinary book — it is a living depiction of victory over terrorism. Hence, let us all read this book and encourage others to read it too, so that society continues to rise, awaken, and draw continuous inspiration filled with the spirit of patriotism.
