Ashes in the River Jhelum: Memories of a Lost Kashmir

By Shubham Dogra

Ashes in the River Jhelum by Shubham Dogra is a haunting chronicle of a homeland lost and a civilization silenced. Through the pages of this deeply researched and emotionally charged historical narrative, the author revives the forgotten voices of Kashmir's original inhabitants - the Kashmiri Hindus.

From the ancient Shaivite civilization that once thrived along the banks of the Jhelum to the tragic exodus of 1990, this book walks through centuries of endurance, betrayal, and exile. It traces how a land of temples and wisdom slowly succumbed to waves of invasions, political deceit, and rising radicalism. Each chapter blends history with personal pain, reminding the reader that memory is resistance - and forgetting is surrender.

With gripping accounts of the massacres of 1947 and 1990, the political collapse of the Farooq Abdullah government, and the selective silence of the media and world institutions, Ashes in the River Jhelum stands as both testimony and indictment.

This is not merely a story of loss - it is a story of survival.
Of a people who carried their gods, their language, and their faith out of the valley... and kept Kashmir alive in exile.
