Chimes of Kafirkot

By Hamza Hassan Sheikh

The setting of this historical fiction novel, is the Northern and Western parts of the Indian Subcontinent. The Hindu temples of Dera Ismail Khan, a small city in the Southernmost Indian state (now Pakistan), bordering Afghanistan, play a key role in the plot. Despite being established in the 7th century and demolished in the 11th century by Mahmud of Ghazni, these temples still stand on the towering peaks of Khisor hills. The hidden histories of these enigmatic structures have yet to be told. The castle, built on the highest points of the hills, serves as a beautiful setting for the temples, surrounded on one side by towering mountains and on the other by the glistening waters of the Indus River. The story describes the 7th-century Indus valley civilization and the temples that grew to become an integral part of the landscape.
