NEW DELHI, JULY 22: First of its kind--indeed, unparalleled in the annals of Indian publishing industry--is the artistic presentation of the cameos about the principal characters--Kashmiri Muslims, Kashmiri Pandits, security forces, militants, politicians, intellectuals, comon people and women.

Indications are by no means uncertain that at least seven serious contenders would contest each of the 403 seats of India's most populous State. Three of the four major political forces-- the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Congress party-- have already announced their decision to contest the polls on their own.
