I often ask my self why I love Kashmir so much.I have so much answers.I like to share some of them.
In Kashmir has 80%population is Muslim. During partition in 1947,Kashmir was divided in two parts Occupied (as we say it) Kashmir and Azad Kashmir1st one was handed over to India ( It has Muslims in majority in Kashmir valley while in Jumu Hindu and Buddh dominate Muslims )and the second one became integral part of ours.
Kashmir is heaven on earth. Kashmiris are our brothers and sisters.They are struggling for their freedom.They are facing hard ships and even giving their lives for their cause. Many families have to go on exile. My grandfather also went with mujahiddins to help Kashmiries in their freedom struggle. I am grown up with growing love for Kashmir. It is a land of my dreams. world's best Saffron grows here. Its fields are filled with Tulip's flowers in Spring and its air is sick with fragrance of Saffron in Autumn.
I love Kashmir cause our History,culture is approximately same. Many family in Punjab are Kashmiri in origin.They have relatives in Occupied or in Azad Kashmir. During spinning thread in long days and curdling milk Kashmiri and Punjabi women used to sing Bulley Shah, Mian M Bakhsh and Hibba Khatoon. Hundreds karvan started their journey from Kashmir and settled in Punjab.
Though Kashmir is at about 3 hours drive from Rawalpindi but our timings are same.Sun sets in both areas at same time and voice of moazzan rises at same time.(specially Maghrib Azan)
Source of all rivers of Pakistan is Kashmir. Our longest border is connected with Kashmir. And most important, our hearts beat with Kashmiri brothers and sisters.
