Former chief minister and opposition leader in J&K state assembly Omar Abdullah is writing a book according to a media report. The report said that the book would be released in the year 2018. Encouraged by his popularity on Twitter, Omar Abdullah has decided to become an author and is being helped by some journalists friends of Kashmir to shape the book, reports said. These reports suggest that this first book of Omar Abdullah would be a blend of memoirs, of Kashmir history and his own analysis of prevailing situation. Reports said that Omar Abdullah will try to make it a sensational book by writing about some confrontation with centre during his tenure as chief minister of J&K state. It is not known yet will Omar Abdullah throw light on his relationship with army commanders on ground in Kashmir during his tenure as he was having a very stormy relationship with them.
It is to be seen whether Omar would be honest enough to write facts of how he handled 2010 unrest in which 124 youth were killed and he virtually handed over the government to union home ministry. He is reportedly writing about the role and contribution of the Abdullah family, however it is to be seen wether he would touch the grey areas of his family including their journey from a humble village background of Soura to one of the rich and powerful families of Kashmir.
