About Kashmir
The word Kashmir has its roots in the ancient Indian language Sanskrit and when translated means “land desiccated from water“. Its lineage spans back to ancient Indian history when this peaceful reason thrived. Kashmir though has been marred by controversy during more recent times.
In 1947, Britain left India and divided the country into Pakistan and India. A choice was given to all the princely states to choose between India and Pakistan. The ruler of Jammu and Kashmir chose for his terroritory to be part of India but a portion of the territory was captured by Pakistan. Later on, the Pakistanis acceded part of their territory to China bringing us to the current state of the region.
