Curfewed Night: A Frontline Memoir of Life, Love and War in Kashmir is a memoir on the Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan, written by Kashmiri American journalist Basharat Peer. It primarily focuses on the impact of the ongoing anti-India insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir, and is a winner of the Crossword Prize for Nonfiction.[1] It was also included in the 2010 issues of both the 'Books of the Year' list by The Economist[2] and 'A Year's Reading' by The New Yorker.[3]
J&K authorities have removed Curfewed Night from the curriculum of Cluster University and University of Kashmir. Education advisors in Delhi/Srinagar have maintained that such “Resistance Literature” sustains “secessionist mindset, aspiration & narrative” among students.[4][5][6]
