The understanding about the literary context is an integral part of the study of any work of literature. The context in which the literature of a period is placed defines the contours of that work. It adds to the knowledge about the undercurrents which advertently or inadvertently influence the shaping up of different genres of literature. Similar is the scenario of literature from Kashmir, it is filled with moral perplexity, uncertainty, nostalgia, illusion and loss. A wave of different writers is competing to jump into the fray and make their voices heard. Including women and men alike, the ongoing conflict in the region has paved the way for questioning of accepted socio-political and traditional beliefs. The insurgency has changed the very dynamics of the region marked by general disillusionment, skepticism, cynicism and irony. Neurosis, displacement, psychological disorder and social gloom become the order of the day. This paper attempts to have a layered discussion of such a book titled, Tell Her Everything, written by Mirza Waheed.
