I AM KASHMIR

Do you know about Kashmir?
Well, let us start knowing about it.
It has a 5,000 old history.
It has relationships with the Indus Valley Civilization.
Alexander, the Great, came to conquer it;

Ashoka’s Dhamma in Kashmir was totally fit.
Kushans held the fourth Buddhist Council,
The Mahayana and the Hinayana are its creations.
Burzahom and Gufkral are our marvels,
Martand is a sign of ingenuity.

Silk Road is our uniqueness.
Jesus Christ in Srinagar is our originality.
Shah Mir, Bulbul Shah, Rinchana and Mir Sayyid Ali Hamdani are our jewels,
Having Hindu rulers for centuries is not all about evils.
Zain-Ul-Abideen is as important as Lalitaditya,

Awantiwarman had the distinction of Shihab-Ud-Din.
Our culture is fusion of inter-cultures,
We have been fighting but against vultures.
Our brotherhood lies in our diversity,
No distinction between village and city.

Masjids, Temples, Gurdwaras and Churches are our heritage,
No narrow-mindedness can keep us in cage.
Broad-mindedness has been our loyalty.
Kashmiris are against cruelty.
Long live our Kashmir!
