Through stories drawn from historical texts, oral traditions, art and everyday life, the book uncovers how Srinagar's identity was formed and continually reshaped across centuries. Hamdani's narrative spans from the city's pre-Islamic roots to its medieval and early modern Muslim eras, placing a strong emphasis on its material culture – architecture, craft and poetry – as windows into its past.\u003cbr\u003e\nCity of Kashmir is both a personal chronicle and a scholarly deep dive based on twenty years of close engagement with Srinagar as a heritage professional. It reclaims the city's place as a historic centre of knowledge and creativity in South Asia, offering an essential entry point into Kashmir's urban and cultural memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789357318310\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.2 x 5.4 x 0.9 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Altaic Languages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51212916752688,"sku":"VarietyBook_9789357318310","price":525.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71hencmS4vL.jpg?v=1774247031","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/city-of-kashmir","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
