Kashmir Bloggers is a blog to present a glimpse of the current situation in Kashmir. For those of you who are not aware of Kashmir, it is a himalayan state divided between India , Pakistan and China. The Pakistani side is called Azad kashmir by Pakistanis and the people living on that side of Kashmir and the same region is called Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) by India.
The Indian part of the state is officially called the Jammu and Kashmir State (J&K), with three major regions: Kashmir valley, Jammu and Ladakh. The J&K state is called Indian Occupied Kashmir(IOK) by Pakistan .
The J&K state is separated from the other two parts by a dividing line called the Line of Control(LOC). India and Pakistan have fought three wars over Kashmir and it has remained a disputed region since 1947. In 1989, an armed struggle started in the kashmir valley and in parts of the Jammu region for independence from India. Ever since, there has been large scale destruction of life and property, particularly in the Kashmir valley. Tens of thousands of kashmiris have died since the inception of this struggle.
This blog will mainly focus on Kashmir valley, the center of the current conflict. The posts would not only include political thoughts but also religious and social expressions.
