Answers
l want to live in the place of kasmir
Answer:
As I try to reflect on the life in the Kashmir valley, I am inevitably drawn to the images of its serene snow covered peaks, clear waters of Dal, its distinct delicious cuisines, the tenderness of Pashmina shawls. The valley has a lot to offer in terms of its culture and landscape. Today, besides offering so much, it is paying a heavy price too. The life in the valley is marked by insecurity and violence. The once all-pervading serenity has been superseded by turbulence which has hit life to its very core.
One reason that holds the root to its problems is the partition of India. It is a historical fact that at the time of Partition, Kashmir was being ruled by a Hindu king named Maharaj Hari Singh who signed the Instrument of Accession in 1947, fully ratified by the constituent assembly of Jammu and Kashmir, thereby, declaring Kashmir to be a part of the Republic of India. Pakistan insists that the Maharaj in question, was a tyrant and did not represent the voice of the people of Kashmir. Given that majority of the population were Muslims, it holds that the land should be with Pakistan rather than its archrival and hence, the conflict in the valley which has shown no signs of subsiding, courtesy the uncooperative nature of our beloved neighbours.
