Islamabad: The Institute of Regional Studies (IRS), Islamabad, hosted the launch of the Urdu translation of ‘Tragedy in Kashmir’, the seminal historical work by Abdul Haq Suharwardy, which highlights the continued relevance of the Kashmir dispute and the importance of preserving its authentic historical narrative.
According to Kashmir Media Service, in his welcome remarks, IRS President Ambassador Jauhar Saleem, described the book as a rigorously researched account of the events surrounding the 1947 Partition and the annexation of occupied Jammu and Kashmir. He noted that the work’s credibility is reinforced by corroboration from Indian and British sources, making it a trusted reference for scholars, researchers and diplomats.
Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Kashmir, Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon, said the book serves as a powerful reminder of the historical injustices faced by the people of Kashmir. He added that its translation into Urdu would strengthen public awareness and national resolve on the Kashmir issue.
His point was endorsed by Mushaal Hussein Mullick, wife of illegally detained JKLF chief Muhammad Yasin Malik and Chairperson of Peace and Culture Organization, who emphasised that the Urdu translation is vital for highlighting the human dimension of the Kashmir dispute.
