October 1947: Wails of Fallen Autumn Leaves

By Ankush Sharma

Book Overview

Amidst the Poonch rebellion in October 1947 and the ensuing tribal invasion that shook the foundations of the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, three young souls found themselves entwined in the unfolding tragedy. Tulsi, a 17-year-old boy torn from his village, grapples with betrayal, loss, and the brutal demise of his loved ones. Laajo, a mere seven-year-old girl, braves chilling isolation, while Hriday, a 10-year-old boy, stands as the lone survivor of a village laid to waste. Their destinies collide on a harrowing journey of survival, navigating treacherous landscapes that inscribe a new and uncertain chapter in their lives. Will their determination and resilience be enough to wrest their lives from the clutches of this massacre, or will they fade into obscurity, joining the ranks of the countless others who have vanished without a trace?
