When he takes his sheep and goats to the mountains, Gulla is always careful – of bears and leopards, the terrible Banbudhiya, and the men with guns. But one day, rushing to save a little hangul from wild dogs, he goes deep into the forest. This story from Kashmir, where the hangul is a protected animal, carries many shades of the region – the quiet life of the villagers, their close link with nature, and the underlying disquiet they learn to live with. This rugged, rocky and less familiar part of the beautiful state is evoked by the illustrations with a soft charm.

The book "குல்லாவும் ஹங்குல்லும்" (Gulla and the Hangul) is written by Mariam Karim Ahlawat in English and translated in Tamil by Rangasri Srinivas. Gulla lives in a village in Kashmir with his parents and daily he goes to the mountain valleys 🏔️ with his goats 🐐 and sheeps 🐏. Gulla happily enjoys the nature while his goats and sheeps graze in the mountains. One day evening, he saves the life of Hangul (deer)🦌 and then a miracle happens in the next day morning. The author has excellently narrated this story in simple words so that the children can easily understand. The illustrations by Proiti Roy adds beauty to the story. Some Kashmiri words are used in this story and their Tamil meanings are also given separately. Overall this book is perfectly suitable for children and they would definitely enjoy reading this book😍
