New Delhi, July 7 Writing a book on the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits was "very emotional" because of the "ghastly details" that came to the fore and 16-year-old Anushka Dhar feels "humbled" to have shed light on the tribulations of a community forced to leave their homeland three decades ago. An eternal optimist, she also hopes to settle down in Kashmir someday, describing this as a "a full-circle moment" if and when it happens.

"The research process was exciting. However, in all honesty, it was also very emotional, because a lot of ghastly details were brought to my attention. It was difficult to process some of the disturbing information knowing that my family had been through that I was in a state of shock," Dhar told in an interview of "NH44: Take Me Home"
