in This gripping expose traces the hidden arcs of global terror—beginning with a long-ignored spark in Kashmir and flaring into a wildfire engulfing continents. With piercing clarity and emotional depth, Utkarsh Kumar journeys through South Asia’s battlegrounds to the scarred streets of Europe, laying bare how silent political deals and apathy, often enabled by Western complicity, have fed the blaze.
At the heart of this book lie the stories of silent warriors—soldiers not fighting for gold, but for justice, survival, and futures that were never guaranteed. Their blood stains deserts, their bodies vanish into waves, and their minds are scarred by wars the world refuses to remember.
From the 9/11 attacks to the Bataclan massacre and Helmand’s endless battles, The Fire They Lit asks the questions others won’t: Who lit the match? Why does the silence of the fallen remain unheard?
More than just a chronicle—it is a reckoning. A tribute. And a call to confront the fire before it consumes us all.
