'A Mission in Kashmir'

On this page I have posted, chapter by chapter, the full text of my book A Mission in Kashmir, which was published by Penguin India in 2007. It's all here bar the illustrations and the index. In case you are wondering, I now have the publication rights for the book - and I'm happy to make it available to all in this manner. If there's demand for the index also to be posted, let me know - there's a contact form at the end of the page - and I'll do what I can.
