From the Land of God

Yes. It's called the Land of God. And we call it Kashmir. Kashmir is also known as "Heaven on Earth". The landscapes and the scenery in Kashmir is just aweful and breath-taking. It is the most profit-making tourist place in India.






Unfortunately, the peace in Kashmir has been destroyed by the power hungry people in Politics. The Kargil war that took place between India and Pakistan, and the fight for PoK has been going on since many years. Kahmiris have been fed up of these wars and it was also reported that the Kashmiris want their state to be independent of India as well as Pakistan. Kashmir is given a special constitution of its own by the Indian Parliament.


There have been many youngsters from this state who have turned into terrorists because of the torture they had to go through living in their state. These people are not left on their own and are harrassed by the police as well as the Indian Army, sometimes doubting on their identity and some times on their nationality.



This state has always been in trouble due to some or the other issue always coming up there. Bomb blasts is a thing people are used to hearing every day there. People fear for their lives every second they breath. Communal clashes, clashes with the neighboring country, terrorist attacks, encounters with the police, with the Army, political turmoil, have always been there in Kashmir.



And now God has given his own country, a new problem to deal with- the Floods. Thousands of people have been dying and hundreds have lost their loved ones. People are displaced from their homes, and towns and villages have submerged into the flowing waters. The Indian Army and Government of India has been trying to airlift people and provide the stranded help, by giving them the basic necessity of food and some clothing. People are being shifted to safe places and are being taken to hospitals and NGO's for help.


The Omar Abdulla Government has also been helping out people. Bollywood celebrities have also come ahead to help those in need by raising funds online to provide the affected people with basic necessities with life.


Bollywood has always been fascinated with the beauty of Kashmir. Several films shot in Kashmir are: Mission Kashmir, A song in Student of the year, Jaal - the trap, and recent film to be shot there is Haider starring Shahid Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor, directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.


It remains to be seen how Kashmir has been portrayed this time by Bollywood.

God help those who are helpless and without home and their loved ones in Kashmir.
