The Veda in Kashmir presents a detailed history and the current state of Veda tradition in Kashmir. It traces the vicissitudes of Vedic texts and rituals and their survival during some 400 years of Muslim rule. The peculiarities of the Śākalya ṚgvedaKaṭha Yajurveda, and Paippalāda Atharvaveda texts are discussed in great detail. The rituals from birth to death of the Pandits, the Kashmiri Brahmins, are depicted and explained, including current interpretation.

This two-volume work includes a DVD that contains additional texts, rituals, sound recordings, and films taken in 1973 and 1979.

Dear Scholars

Anxiously awaiting to read reviews from"deshi" Indologists.

Hope they post their opinion for the benefit of list members.

Too few among "mārgī" Indologists are competent
in English, the Vedic, and manuscriptology etc. !

Dear Dr Yadu-ji,

The book is just out. It may take some time for the tradition-insider response to such studying from outside kind of accounts. 

There were many insider responses Prof. Witzel's works. One that comes to my mind is the one by Sri Vishal Agarwal to "Ein Fremdling im Rgveda" by Prof. Witzel. 

Sharing the same.
