Mirza Waheed The Collaborator Publisher: Viking
Mirza Waheed was born and brought up in Srinagar, Kashmir. He spent some of his childhood years in the mountains of the valley where his father worked in tourism and at home near the Dal Lake where his family continues to live. As a teenager, he closely witnessed the peak years of the separatist militant uprising and the brutal military crackdown in Kashmir. During one of the many curfew-bound seasons in Srinagar in the early 1990s, when everyone was restricted indoors by the security forces, he learnt the rudiments of Kashmiri papier-mache art from his grandfather, father and uncle. He earned his first income hand-painting a hundred decorative Easter eggs meant for export to Western markets.
