Chef | Jaspreet Singh

Chef is about a military cook from India who is returning to the Siachen Glacier, technically in Kashmir, where he had served as a younger man. His father died in that same area while in the military. Kip, the main character, comes from a Sikh background while most of the soldiers are Hindu. There is a lot of negative talk about Muslims in this novel from the soldiers. ⤵️

ReadingEnvy The Siachen Glacier is the line between the Asian and Indian continents, and Pakistan and China. India spends a lot of money and lives keeping a military presence there so they don't lose control of that access; the temperatures are insanely low and soldiers suffer frequently from frostbite, hallucinations, and more. (Just do an internet search for Siachen and you will find videos featuring the army there.) ⤵️ 4y
ReadingEnvy The author lived in Kashmir as a child, and now lives in Canada. I decided to finally read this for the #readtheworld21 challenge since this month was focused on the Indian subcontinent. The Kasmir region is on the northern tip and is a high conflict area between India and Pakistan.
