A beautifully drawn graphic novel that illuminates the conflicted land of Kashmir, through a young boy`s childhood. Seven-year-old Munnu is growing up in Indian-administered Kashmir. Life revolves around his family: Mama, Papa, sister Shahnaz, brothers Adil & Akhtar &, his favourite, older brother Bilal. It also revolves around Munnu`s two favourite things
- sugar & drawing. But Munnu`s is a childhood experienced against the backdrop of conflict. Bilal`s classmates are crossing over into the Pakistan-administered portion of Kashmir to be trained to resist the `occupation`; Papa & Bilal are regularly taken by the military to identification parades where informers will point out `terrorists`; Munnu`s school is closed; close neighbours are killed & the homes of Kashmiri Hindu families lie abandoned, as once close, mixed communities have ruptured under the pressure of Kashmir`s divisions. Munnu is an amazingly personal insight into everyday life in Kashmir. Closely based on Malik Sajad`s own childhood & experiences, it is a beautiful, evocatively drawn graphic novel that questions every aspect of the Kashmir situation
- the faults & responsibilities of every side, the history of the region, the role of Britain & the West, the possibilities for the future. It opens up the story of this contested & conflicted l&, while also giving a brilliantly close, funny & warm-hearted portrait of a boy`s childhood & coming-of-age.
