What a horrible name.

It should have a pleasant name like Saiful Malook or others.

all these beautiful areas up north, neither india or pakistan deserve

[faye]

i missed going there in the 70's. i regret not going to kashmir, swat/hunza and kabul.

Both deserve it because they should be one country, with Pashtuno-Baluchistan returned to the Afghans.

I am not a particularly big fan or Kashmir but Hunza is nice.

Swat is okay as well. Dir is better.

Kabul I never been.

freedom for kashmir from these 2 incompetants!!!

not really, kashmir should be part of the (dardistan) nation, which also includes places like hunza, gilgit and the kalash areas etc...

Saying that is a punishable offence in both countires.

I once said that, with a Kashmiri friend in a Pakistani school.
She had to go for "treason" and i was "conspiring against the nation".
Not something you want to do as it involves painstaking Pakistan Studies classes.

Nevertheless, Kashmir is rightfully a part of Hindustan.

India and Pakistan is Hindustan.

India is an English word, while Pakistan is an English experiment.

Hunza and Gilgit have nothing to do with Dardics and neither does Kashmir.

Kalash, Chitralis (Khowar-speakers) and Nuristanis/Pashayis are Dardic.

Hunza is Wakhi (Pamiri Tajik) and Burusho predominently, same with Gilgit.

Kashmiris are heavily Persianized Indics, with some Punjabis and Pashtuns.

how so? I agree they were hindus at one point but their culture/language have always been pretty different from main land indians.

It was all Hindustan until the British deliberately left the Kashmir issue unsolved to create further tension and division between the new states of Pakistan and India.

Kashmiri itself is a rare language in Pakistan.

Punjabi with a lot of Farsi, that's what all the Kashmiris I have ever met spoke.
