• Everything is fine with the article per DYK criteria, but I think that the hook should also mention what the book is about. A QPQ is also needed. SL93 (talk) 01:04, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

• SL93 QPQ done.
• As for your other point, I was having difficulty deciding hooks as throughout the article it says "The book is about the alleged..." or "...has been accused of "mass sexual violence"." On the basis of an accusation or allegation, how would I frame the hook? The hook would of course have to contain the words... accused or alleged...... but in such a case, it becomes difficult to decide if that is due or not. This is no small allegation or accusation.
• I really like ALT0 hook because it connects to the critical reception and what people thought of it - "The book has been seen as a show of resistance of the women. It has been seen as the ability of Kashmiri women to tell there own story and lead the discourse." AND accordinly the hook, merely stating it is written by five Kashmiri women is very meaningful. Maybe then these can be alternate hooks -

• ALT1:... that the book Do You Remember Kunan Poshpora? is seen as the ability of Kashmiri women to tell there own story and lead the discourse?
• ALT2:... that the book Do You Remember Kunan Poshpora? has been seen as a show of resistance?

• I understand your points and I am approving ALT0. SL93 (talk) 14:41, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

• Hi, I came by to promote this. ALT0 is a statement of fact, not a hook. I edited the article per the source and would like to suggest a combination of these hooks:
• ALT3: ... that the book Do You Remember Kunan Poshpora? is seen as the ability of Kashmiri women to tell their own story and show resistance? Yoninah (talk) 16:24, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

• I am alright with it. Thanks for the ALT. Requesting SL93 to review and restore green tick. Thanks. DTM (talk) 07:17, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

• All hooks are fact, but OK. ALT3 is approved. SL93 (talk) 20:46, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
