Kashmir Dreams A pleasant wind sweeps across the mountains.Its refreshing breeze kisses paradise's birthing seed..The rivers are the Lord's natural fountains,A place untouched by civilization's greed.Kashmir dreams is much beauty throughout the land.Kashmiri farmers reap large grain fields. Orchards bear massive glut of fruit by hand. Floral beauty also carries medicinal yields. Cashmere shawls, jamawars, are finely handcrafted in tiny stitches. Paisley design is the Kashmir dreams own design. This exotic country manufactures perfumes, love bewitches. Delicious grapes are produced, sweet fruit to dine. Kashmir dreams are a freedom clasped in breast, Love for a country unspoiled by the advance of technology. Its own special formations bear the natural crest. Here nature is an enjoyment unmarred ecology. A pleasant wind sweeps across the mountains. Its refreshing breeze kisses paradise's birthing seed.. The rivers are the Lord's natural fountains, A place untouched by civilization's greed.Poet Dorothy E. Scott (USA)

Kashmir
often called paradise, is a rich green mountain region North of Pakistan. At the time of independence of Pakistan, all Muslim majority areas were to become part of Pakistan. Kashmir, an 80% Muslim majority region did not become part of Pakistan. Currently, Pakistan administers 1/3 of Kashmir, also know as "Azad (Free) Kashmir." The rest 2/3 under Indian military occupation. There is civil unrest against the occupation of Indian Occupied Kashmir. India is responding with brutal force to crush the civil unrest demanding end of Indian rule. A number of U.N. resolutions have been passed condemning the Indian occupation of 2/3 of Kashmir. As always, the U.N. has not been able to implement its resolution. The price is being paid by the Kashmiris through their miseries, tortures and brutal deaths as the hands of occupying Indian Army.
