Darkness at Bamiyan

Darkness at Bamiyan was written in a period spanning 2002-03. The following excerpt from the Foreword of the book written by Amol Titus describes his thought process during its creation.
“Like many ordinary citizens living in these troubled times I, though physically far removed from Bamiyan in Afghanistan, too was pained by the senseless acts that culminated in the destruction of the ancient statues called Shahmama and Sol Sol.

The horrific acts and as yet ominously inconclusive chain of action and reaction poignantly highlights the state of the troubled human condition today. A condition I have tried to explore through an imagined dialogue between the two protagonists while weaving into the communication certain illustrative tenets and symbols of Buddhist learning.

That a novice writer on a distant island could be so creatively engaged by the event is, for me, a testimony to the powerful and enduring legacy of Shahmama and Sol Sol.”
