In this episode of Kitabwala, Lallantop's flagship show dedicated to books, we talk to Siddhartha Gigoo. In March 1990, sixteen-year-old Siddhartha was forced to flee his home in Safa Kadal, Srinagar, Kashmir. The days leading up to their departure were filled with fear and horror for the Gigoos, as they witnessed friends and neighbors being killed outside their homes. With the threat of being next, they faced the difficult decision to leave, even though they wished to stay. Siddhartha believed his departure would be temporary and that he would soon return home, unaware that his fate was sealed. What followed was a long, dark period of camp existence and a struggle for survival.
After watching this video, you will learn:
1. How Kashmiri Pandits can return to the valley, their ancestral home.
2. What life was like in the camps in Jammu after the Pandits fled the valley.
3. The festivals celebrated by Kashmiri Pandits.
A Long Season of Ashes is a meditation on the nature of memory and a book about a boy’s journey of self-discovery.
