This book provides a depiction of Kashmir, a stunning country situated in the top left-hand corner of India, surrounded by mountains and renowned for its picturesque landscapes. It shares borders with Russia, China, and British India. Despite its natural splendor, the Kashmiri people have endured historical oppression and conquest by various empires, including the Moguls, Afghans, and Sikhs. Consequently, they have suffered from a lack of self-respect and courage. The Kashmiris generally have fair complexions, and a significant number of them possess blue eyes and auburn hair. The majority of the population follows Islam, with a small Buddhist community and Brahmins, who are the highest Hindu caste. Historically, only the Brahmins have shown interest in education and attending schools. The author emphasizes the responsibility of others possibly the British as fellow subjects to assist the Kashmiris in reclaiming their self-respect revitalizing their ancient strengths and embracing Christianity as a means of confronting their spiritual adversaries.

Cecil Earle Tyndale-Biscoe (1863–1949) was a British missionary and educationist, who worked in Kashmir where he established the Tyndale Biscoe School. In the late 19th century, Kashmir was a princely state made up of a Muslim majority ruled by a Maharaja and his Hindu minority. The Maharaja often utilized the services of British and European experts, though Kashmir was an independent kingdom. Seeing the squalid conditions and caste system as a serious problem, Tyndale-Biscoe aimed to use his own Christian values and western civic ideals to improve Kashmiri society. Although he did not actively pursue conversions as much as his missionary backers would have liked, Tyndale-Biscoe was a convinced imperialist and supporter of the India Defence League.
