Aes chhe kasher

Aes che kasher ( We are Kashmiris!!). How proud does that make us feel? Are we proud?? Every single day we go through this dilemma of what we are? Are we kashmiris, Indian, hindu, muslim.. We keep flitting between these worlds and fumbling for answers.

It was this predicament that made me a part of ACK. I wanted to be able to define who I am. ACK gave me a platform to know just that. I got in touch with my roots, people; made friends who I cherish and amazingly learnt so much about my homeland which had escaped my eyes all those years that I grew up there.
