एक क़िस्सा सुनाती हूँ मैं आज सन दो-हज़ार पचास का,
वक्त हो चला था इतिहास की क्लास का। आज सिखाना था बच्चों को दो-हज़ार बीस के बारे में, 
आज बताना था बच्चों को तीस मौतों के बारे में। वो वक्त था जब फ़र्क़ था हिंदू-मुस्लिमों के बीच में, जब दंगे छेड़ दिए थे और ना रखा […]

Article 370 was recently amended in the Indian Constitution to make it unrecognizable. This led to major concerns and issues being raised by not only the Kashmiris but also citizens globally.
