This book, a labour of love and a call to attention, documents life along the Line of Control. It is not about the politics of two nations. It is not about politics of the state. It is not about geo-politics, socio-economic considerations or even a handbook for human rights activists. It is about the people, their lives, their joys and sorrows. The fear of not knowing whether the next breathing moment is the last one. The horror of not knowing whether the loved ones that leave the village in the morning will return at night. The trauma of having enforced curfew due to living along an invisible line that is probably the most militarised in the world.

This is the story of the men, women and children who live along the various sectors of the LoC.
