A Tale of Friendship & Divide by Prashant Pandita, Author- The Jehlum Boys

I am in conversation with Prashant Pandita, a Kashmiri Pandit and the author of bookThe Jehlum Boys where we talk about writing a nail-biting thriller that thrives on friendship and is divided by the tensions and larger political disputes in a historically disputed land-Kashmir.

As they say, the friendships that have been developed and nurtured during childhood are something that has a deep impact on any individual’s life as they are what have witnessed the phases that nobody else has.

A Kashmiri pandit and a Muslim both are based in Kashmir. Generally, if I tell you just this plot with all the Kashmir stories and movies around either you will expect something on similar lines or you will expect the cliche. Kashmiri Pandits and people of other faiths have gone through a lot with respect to the exodus that happened in 1990.

The story is heavy and through the conversations between the characters, a lot of learnings are offered about life.

Knowing the perspective of Prashant Pandita has been a key element of this podcast episode of Motivation Spark and we have brought the immersing audio experience from a person who has been through harsh experiences.
