The Big Book of Kashmiri Literature : Poems, Songs, Plays, Stories | Anthology of Kashmiri Poetry, Folk Songs, Plays And Stories. / Onaiza Drabu. - , Gurugram : Penguin Book , 2026. - lii, 601p. : 24cm.

This anthology of literature translated from the Kashmiri language is the first of its kind. It is as much an introduction into the literary landscape of Kashmir as a journey through its history. From premodern
verse to radio plays, folk chants to metaphysical ghazals, flash fiction to excerpts from a novel, The Big Book of Kashmiri Literature is compilation of memory and an anthology of voices.

The reader will encounter scholars, saints, experimental dramatists and unlettered poets starting from the fourteenth century to today. Kashmir has a thriving oral tradition, a literary culture that borrowed from the East and a print culture that engaged with the West and it all comes together in this volume with a promise of immersion into the emotional topography of the land, the language and the people.
