  • Summary

  • As a child growing up in Kashmir, seeing women in power, working with men and being equal was a norm for me. It’s because of the non-conformist familial values that I was bought up in. It was normal for women in my family to not be engaged in gendered roles. I was fortunate to grow up watching my aunts, my cousins, and my siblings living their lives to their real potential.

    My aunt, Khem Lata Wakhlu was one such role model.

    I have wanted to document her journey and philosophy for a long time and what better time than the launch of her book “A Kashmiri Century: Portrait of a Society in Flux” to sit down with her to talk about her life, work, and philosophy.

    When Wakhlu started her political career, it was the early 1970’s. A defining move by a woman.
