Source: Kasmir Life:
The use of adjectives like, valley of saints, peer wair, the land of pious etc to describe Kashmir shows how we, as citizens of this beautiful land, take pride in something that has no association whatsoever with reality. How we live in a fool’s paradise!
No doubt, in good old times, some centuries back, there might have lived a race who had actually earned these titles for this land. But it is not us for sure. We, the present generation of Kashmiris, do not deserve anything like that. We are corrupt to the neck. Our only identity; or distinction, is that our faces are smeared with blackness of hatred that we carry in our hearts for our fellow citizens.
We, like a snake in the water, sit quietly and wait for our prey (read fellow citizen or brethren) and attack when he expects it the least. In times of distress, the citizens of so-called valley of saints (pardon me for the overuse of clichés), wait to make fortunes out of another man’s misery.
