...harboring terrorists. The mullahs and the army take turns in grinding paradise into hell, and Rushdie chronicles their misdeeds with mounting anger. As he recalls the violence that forced the Hindus out of the Kashmir valley in the 1990s, words gush out of him in a reflux of rage: "... and the pandits of Kashmir were left to rot in their slum camps, to rot while the army and insurgency fought over the bloodied and broken valley, to dream of return, to die while dreaming of return, to die after the dream of return died so that they could even...
