Curfewed Night is a memoir by a Kashmiri about his growing up in war torn Kashmir. This book talks about the shattered minds and lives of the victims of any war which goes on for years. Basharat Peer reveals several moving and disturbing stories of the war victims. He mentions about the Muslim youths who joined the militancy to get freedom but died young and named as terrorists. About the Hindu Pandits who had to flee from their homes with a hope of returning back some day. And, about the local Kashmiris living with fear and uncertainty of life. It gives a detailed insight about the war zoned Kashmir, breaking many presumptions Indians generally have about the Kashmir problem and the Indian army.
