The reader reviews reveal that this first hand account of events, from the diary of Pandit Vaishnavi, serve as a treasure trove of information for the researchers. This book includes a narrative which has long been suppressed. A man who was so influential was never tempted to accumulate wealth or use power to help himself or his close family members. He lived a down to earth life in one of the Kashmiri refugee colonies in Jammu and was honoured with the title, “Father of the Kashmiri Pandit Community.”
