COVER STORY
Every Kashmiri is
not a traitor or a
terrorist -The book
is written with this
thought. What made
this transition
possible? What are
your thoughts in the
present times?
When I was
searching for a
publisher in 2012.
Editor of a very
prominent publisher
asked me how many
people follow me on
social media.

I had only 3 members
in my family and a
couple of good
friends who believed
in me. So I was quite.
That day it hurt me a
lot. Today, I have a
family of more than
seven lakhs hardcore
readers. I turn non-
reader into a reader.
That's the biggest
compliment for me.
So never judge a
struggler with
unrealistic factors. A
good story should be
told, and publishers
should match their
voice to tell a story to
everybody.
Do you want each
book to stand on its
own, or are you
trying to build a
body of work with
connections
between each
book?
My books are
independent in
reading but mutually
connected if you
have read them all.
