KASHMIR CHALO: A Call from the Heart of a Kashmiri Youth

The recent cowardly attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam has once again shaken all of us. As a Kashmiri and a research scholar at IIT, my heart bleeds for every soul lost to this mindless violence. The pain is real. The grief is deep. But today, as a son of Kashmir, and as someone who has seen the power of knowledge and unity, I appeal not just for sympathy - but for solidarity.

I SAY TO ALL MY COUNTRYMEN-KASHMIR CHALO!

Come to Kashmir. Walk its valleys, breathe its air, feel its soul. This land is not just mine - it is yours too. It is not the land of terror; it is the land of hospitality, of beauty, of resilience.

The enemies of peace want to isolate Kashmir. They dream that fear will separate us. That after every tragedy, Kashmir will be left alone, boycotted, abandoned.

But we must not give them this victory. Our answer should be - we will come in greater numbers. We will walk hand-in-hand. We will stand together. Kashmir is not just a piece of land. It is the poetry of India, the crown of Bharat. It is woven into our history, our culture, our dreams. Turning our back on Kashmir because of a few nefarious elements is not the solution - embracing it even more tightly is.

These nefarious elements want to scare tourists away because they know - every smiling visitor, every bustling market, every busy shikara is a defeat for their hatred. Tourism is the lifeline for thousands of ordinary Kashmiri families - artisans, hoteliers, guides, farmers. Killing tourism is killing livelihoods, killing dreams.

WE CANNOT LET THEM SUCCEED.
