Under the false banner of religion, Pakistan has devastated the culture, unity, economy, and identity of Kashmir. It has turned the Valley, once known for its peace and beauty, into a ba... |

The recent brutal attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam marks a turning point in the collective conscience of Jammu and Kashmir.

Fatima Baloch and Dr K N Pandita
Pakistan was established in 1947 through the partition of India by the British, rather than through a prolonged independence struggle marked by significant sacrifices against colonial rule.
