This is a fictional story that resolves the historical Kashmir issue through a diplomatic and political process. Amav Buju, a Kashmiri, and a member of the Lok Sabha of the Indian Parliament from the North Mumbai constituency, drafts the Free Kashmir Bill that gives Pre-Autonomous Status, PAS, to the territories of Kashmir, or Ladakh Jammu and Kashmir, for five years. The bill is passed by the Indian Parliament. At the end of five years several options are available to Kashmir in the PAS Constitution.
As Kashmir is going through this transition, Amav and his high school friend Manat feel this dusk-like ambivalence in their hearts and minds. Nothing was clear. They were not sure what needed to be done, or who in India could do it, or how it could be done. Failure would undermine the very integrity of India. Prime Minister Assamee had said with deep emotion, Events might cascade into other events so fast that it might be hard to predict or control the outcome.
The story is intertwined with precious life's moments and exemplar human relationships that provide a beautiful cultural expose of Kashmir and India. This story also gives a glimpse and perspective on how political leaders should lead and behave.
