Kashmir - ‘Once heaven, now a troubled land’

Ruchika Rawan|THE DEN

Once Kashmir used to be a hindu-majority state with followership of Shiva, later the Islam influence came into effect which converted many hindus into muslims. But how does religion matter ? Why is Kashmir on a quest for peace for thousands of years but still cannot find any hope at peace. Humanity and humans should take precedence and while all the Kashmiris want it, the so-called politicians don’t want them to be. Moreover, there are gazillions of question marks for Kashmir but it is high time to convert them into full stops retrieving this heaven once again.
