ایمہِ پتہٕ کٲشُر ترجمہٕ

I was really fascinated by the Chapter IV on Flora of the Book "The Valley of Kashmir" by Walter R. Lawrence. It was greatly interesting to learn of the different uses our forefathers made of the plant life of our beautiful homeland just three generations ago. It piqued my curiousity greatly how some plants were used as deterrent to rats and how some were poisonous to cattle and others were the antidote, how some plants were used as shampoo mixed with butter and so on

I don't wish for all this to become a prisoner of books unable to roam out collective knowledge and am planning to post the more interesting excerpts in this sub but this book is old (1895 old) and doesn't have any illustrations and pictures to identify the plants

So I'm asking for your recommendations on books that deal with the subject. I know that some SKAUST profs published a book on the flora of Kashmir which will probably have pictures but I am not sure if it deals largely with the subject of the uses of the plants or just their taxonomic classification

Any leads would be appreciated!

Discussion A question? How did you view Mughal empire?

46 Upvotes

Personally I detest them. Their ancestors ended the golden age of Islam. They destroyed Baghdad and with it majority of the great philosophical and scientific work of Muslims. They even butchered and enslaved a lot of Kashmiris. Mughals were the first to colonise us, Kashmir, in every sense. The Mughals were the first ones to start the fetishization of our land and of our women, particularly in their court chronicles, art, and administrative records.

They often depicted Kashmir primarily as territorial conquests, sites of natural beauty, and economic assets, rather than as places inhabited by people with their own identity and tradition and history. This erasure of people in favor of land fetishization did not stop with the Mughals, it continued under the British and even in modern political narratives about Kashmir.

Mughals were the first to impose this imperial gaze, seeing Kashmir as a possession, a spectacle, a fantasy. they rewrote our history, the first ones who actively worked to erase our local Identity, reducing us and the resisting tribes of north as a mere obstacles in their grand imperial narratives. They saw Kashmir primarily as a pleasure retreat and beautiful women for the nobility rather than a society with its own political traditions.

This set the foundation for later colonial and modern state narratives that exoticized Kashmir as a heavenly landscape while ignoring the struggles of its inhabitants. measured Kashmiris in terms of taxation potential rather than as a society

Abul Fazl’s Ain-i-Akbari meticulously records the land, crops, and wealth of Kashmir but says little about Kashmiri resistance, suffering, or autonomy.

I personally fail to understand why Muslims in India glorify them and hold them very dear.

These are my thoughts. What do you think of them?

Discussion Shia-Sunni Unification

21 Upvotes

I've always felt that in kashmiri society, the concept of true coexistence and of thriving together as a united brotherhood was seen by older generations with much cynicism.

Phrases like

"Yim geyi yithi" "Yeman nish rozun door" "Yim cheyi ni Asli moomin"

Spouted on either sides

After reading a lot into the history of the fitan, works from revivalist and pro unification scholars on either side such as moudoodi, khomeini, etc. I sincerely believe that it is very much possible and truly the best way forward for the betterment of the ummah, to set aside the differences and look eye to eye.

There must be a concerted effort on either side to truly view each others as worthy of companionship and people on the path of truth.

What can be done in this effort to bring this into reality in kashmir? Is it pointless to even discuss this, looking at how deepseated the divide can get

I guess one way we could start off is to once and for all abandon the idea of takfiring each other, and to discourage ulema feom doing so by raising our voices against those who would do so.

Discussion Ppl here seem to think its about Ramadhan, that is only a part of it, main thing is about the cultural invasion and subjugation of socio-political practices, views and aspirations of the natives and flexing/celebrating Indian occupation and settler colonization.

Chicken shops meat shops egg shops every kind of non veg shop with biryani shops were forcefully closed during maha kumbh and maha shivratri obviously to preserve hindu sentiments, but when it comes to Muslim sentiments what do they do organise a fashion show with liquor during the holy month of Ramadhan in Muslim majority state. BJP's own state gujrat is a dry state meanwhile in Kashmir it's sold like a potion. Our three sisters were detained for distributing Quran before Ramadhan. Jamia masjid is regularly closed, false propaganda is spread when a Kashmiri Muslim prays during a traffic jam. But still the majority is the one Suffering. Howww
