Fidali's Way hit bookstores in India with critical acclaim.   Comparing Fidali's Way to Domonique LaPierre's "City of Joy" and Vikas Swarup's "Q & A" (aka "Slumdog Millionare"), the India Tribune calls Fidali's Way...

"a journey full of suspense, danger and soul-rendering experiences that keeps a reader's interest hooked till the last page."

 The Tribune continues...

"[Fidali's Way] takes the readers on a journey of love, compassion, courage and despair...[that] gives us a glimpse of the Islamic culture and the hopes and aspiration of the people of Kashmir...  Mastras' unbiased and non-preachy tune comes as a positive step toward bridging the gap between Islam and the West and at the same time is a befitting answer to the ruthlessness of the fundamental forces working in this complex region."
