Several people belonging to different parts of the world have written books on Kashmiri culture, including poetry… The book on Rasul Mir, the renowned Kashmiri poet, by Dr. Shiban K. Kachru is a dedicated piece of work well done. By translating Mir’s poems into English, the author has uncovered a hitherto concealed precious stone for all to see and evaluate. The translations bear the stamp of the poet’s varied moods. A professional like Dr. Kachru writing poetry reminds me of a Persian saying: God the Merciful grants a good fortune. I would like to congratulate the author on his splendid work, and I hope that the book is read by all those who are interested in Kashmiri language and literature.’ (Translated from Kashmiri).
