Amin
Kamil (b. 1924) is a leading poet, storyteller, editor, critic, researcher and translator
of the Kashmiri language.
Kamil began his literary career in Kashmiri in 1953, leaving behind his decade-long flirtation with Urdu poetry.

Kamil's versatility and virtuosity he exhibited in various literary forms, coupled with his characteristically native voice, has made him an outstanding literary figure in Kashmir. This website offers information on every aspect of Kamil's literary career and achievements, and makes available to readers a selection of poems and stories and extracts from essays. English translations of some of his work have also been included in these pages. It's our hope that visitors of this site will value the information and enjoy the writings. |
