Kanyakumari is just 8 degrees away from the equator. As equator recieves the direct Sun rays, there won't be hardly any difference between the day & night. Where as, Kashmir is 37 degrees away from the equator. So there can be about 5 hrs difference between day & night.

Answer:
The circle of illumination of the earth varies from summer to winter because the axis rotation of the earth is tilled at 23.5diggree to the perpendicular. At the equator ,it does not cause any time difference between day and night throughout the year ,but north or south of it durations may vary. Kanyakumari is close to the equator ,while Kashmir is far away. So, this difference is felt in Kashmir in winter or summer, but not at Kanyakumari.
