Hi!!

I’m trying to connect with people that are knowledgeable in Kashmiri art styles and history.

before yall start attacking me im myself a kashmiri , was scrolling thru gram and a reel popped up i dont remember the name but some guy mocking a girl just bc she was lip syncing to a song , you are telling a girl that shes a slut and a shame to her family bc she uploaded a harmless reel and the worst part was the comments instead of telling that guy to be respectful and idk mind his own bussiness they were talking about some “this is why kashmiris are having a hard time allah naaraz h yomai kori chu kasheer diwath tujmicx” like WHAT now you r blaming women for the “downfall” of kashmiris?? and dont get me started about how misogynistic the mindset of most of the kashmiris is
girl is talking about something look at the comments “you haven't put ur hijab correctly” “ women ☕” “cover your face” it makes me sick and i dont want to hear “but but islam🥺🥺” idgaf abt any religion recently a girl was suicidal bc her bf family didn't want them together and wen she talked abt it instead of actually comforting her and telling her it'll br fine (so called kind hearted kashmiris) were telling her its her fault because she was in a haram relationship like what the fuck the crazy part is kashmiri men love to give attention to these edgy and “dark humor” motherfuckers, anyways i js wanted to get this off my chest the mods prolly gon hide this

I mean was there a common word which was used to greet each other?

Hi / Salaam Everyone

I'm planning to go to the Europe. Three countries in my mind.

Poland , Austria And Hungary

Poland is my priority..

Multiple reasons for me to go abroad. I want you to share your experiences and opinions in regards to opportunities there , job perspective

Do you consider yourselves to be religious or irreligious?

My friend from school got married recently, unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend but saw the photos.

Both her and her husband are Kashmiri, and I found the wedding fascinating with so many interesting rituals and the food looks wonderful as well.

Maybe a question more regarding what the bride wears but she had worn a lot of plain gold jewellery, is this typical for Kashmiri brides? I have friends from South India who also wear similar pieces and thought the similarity was so interesting.

She also repeated the Baraat outfit for the Walima reception party, does the grooms family not buy an outfit for the bride for Walima? Or is the baraat dress paid for by the grooms family?

Is there an equivalent for a Sangeet or Haldi in Kashmiri wedding culture? I know she had a mehendi raat but no Haldi.

Overall truly beautiful event, hope I can attend the next friends Kashmiri wedding haha

watch the shorts posted. funny things going on here. this kid makes me laugh.

I believe he was paramount in making an absolute mess of the Kashmir situation, at the time of partition, and refuse to commemorate him on Children’s Day. The orphans of martyrs and extra-judicial torture, killings and rapes in Indian-occupied Kashmir are also children, may Allah protect them.

An apparently centrist user (not sure if he is Muslim, or a lurking Sanghi) had this to say to that, over on the Indian Muslims sub.

I would like to learn more about what Kashmiris think of Nehru, and how they really feel about him.

I have seen most people returning home after completing their education outside.

So I got this interview coming up, where they might ask me questions related to Kashmir, So how would you suggest to answer with great impact Questions such as :

1. Tell us something about kashmir (from where should I start exactly and mostly what areas should I cover)
2. What are the problems kashmir is facing right now?
3. How are the conditions in Kashmir right now?
4. Something related to article 370 etc.

And please suggest some more questions which you think will be asked related to Kashmir.

It feels like time is running fast. .

I want to go to Doda from Srinagar. And then from Doda to Jammu.

What would be the best mode of transport for this travel. And how long does it take? Like how long will it take to reach Doda from Srinagar, and from Doda to Jammu by the mode of transport you suggest ?

Hello beautiful people of Kashmir.

I am coming to Delhi from Leh, the best n safest option is getting a fight. I can afford it no issues with that. But it's just that I want to take the road route from Leh to Jammu.

This is what I'm planning- • Leh to Srinagar: Public Bus/Taxi • Srinagar to Jammu: Get a Bike on rent from Srinagar and ride it till Jammu & drop it in Jammu only.

So my enquiry is, Is there any Bike Rental Service in Srinagar whose Bike I can pick up from Srinagar and travel till Jammu on it, and fir wo bike Jammu mein drop kar doon, wherever the Rental Service company says.

Do help me out, and Thanks in Advance.

Hyy there, today is my Àbu's last day at the work and from the past few days I have been trying to find the perfect gift for him.He works as a branch manager at an "infamous" bank and absolutely HATES his job . He has been there for more than 30 years ig and it has been taking a toll out of him ever since. I tried to look for gift ideas and honestly nothing relates to him. On a side note I have already ordered a "retirment" Cake for him and I have also managed to convince him to join the gym and TT club with me and purchased a membership for him.

Now about the "gift".I haven't been much close to father, we dont share a tipical Father-Son relation. One would aruge because of his job (subas 7 baji nairun tee shaman 8 bji yunn, literally), drains the life out of him.For the majority of his life he has been posted outside srinagar and kashmir (for4 yrs). But he is a loving/caring father and has always there by my side whenever I needed him and he tries his best to keep me happy, basically he has his ways of expressing his love (but Unconventionally).Over our life time together we really haven't talked about ourselves that much,yk the "TALK" everyone should have once in a while. So the thing is that I really don't know much about his liking/dislikings.Here are some things about him that might be helpful

He doesn't smoke so nothing related to that(yes I have seen people gift premium cigars as a retirment gift).He is really not into travelling, more of a homebody who likes to spend his time alone. He is also not tech savy but can learn and doesn't likes to wear watches and all. A couple of years ago I bought him a smartwatch but he hasn't used it yet. He is a devoted muslim and the only book he reads is The Quran. Haa he really likes long walks and jogging and he is also quite fond of food and is always excited about trying new stuff, lately he has also shown his interest in cooking and made us "firin and halwa" and was excited during that time (which surprised me the most as he has a gloomy personality)

That's about it, if you need anymore info about him/have a suggestion please let me know. Thank you so much in advance

Side note:(might regret sharing but here goes for nothing) yesterday after he returned from work he was all gloomy and depressed and refused to eat/drink anything, I have never seen him like that before(and they say men aren't dramatic) .When I asked him what was bothering him this much?, he at first refused to talk but after some time he gave up in tears and said to me, "Zindagi maklai wain tchu pgaa retirment, wain chu sori tchay sambalun"(basically he was convinced his life is over lol) at first I really didn't know what to say to him but then I replied, "tchay asiye zindagi ye tchi bs?? Tche oskhe amy mujub zamut??? Banks manz keem krne kathre !?? (At the first time in my life I yelled at my Abu) Tcay chay wein yehi personality bnai mtch Akh branch manager?",(as he struggles to keep his working and private life bleeding into each other) and I tried to convince him that his job wasn't his whole life but rather a part of his life, just a chapter and how he has his whole life ahead of him and now how he was truly free and can spent his time however he likes.I also joked how he was a slave to capitalism and how the govt. just wants him to pay his taxes and be misreable all his life.To which he gave me a look screaming are you for real dude?????. This whole experience made me realise how little he thinks of his life and hasn't experienced much outside of his job, hey I might be overthinkng this and experiences related retirment really are like that.
