When Sonali Kumar, the first lady outsider IAS officer of Jammu and Kashmir, wrote her memoir, she was merely highlighting a curse every All India Service officer has to suffer in J&K.
Little did she then realise that so many other ordinary Indian citizens too suffer from the same curse. Their stories also need retelling. And that is what she has tried to do in the short stories that comprise The Outsider's Tales.
Ever wondered how does the wife of an IAS officer keep her sanity when her husband goes to the office every day?
Or, the CRPF constable who is ordered to stand guard at places that J&K Police won't touch with a barge pole?
Or, the barber who has the high and mighty of Kashmir as his clients, but when he needs help his outsider status becomes an albatross around his neck?
The stories are poignant and make you wonder what Kashmiris have really gained by following this old apartheid policy of the Maharaja of Kashmir?
