Making of Afghanistan as Graveyard of Empires

Manan Shah As Ashraf Ghani flees Afghanistan, leaving what he once called his own people behind has caused unprecedented chaos and perhaps shocked the world. Taliban taking control of territory has made new headlines and caused pandemonium-like situations. The world has always seen the Taliban as Islamic hardliners and now as they assume the new charge, everyone is anticipating how they shall act and govern the land. The region has largely been affected by the unwelcomed and illegitimate presence of external forces who have compromised the lives of civilians, caused human assault, and most importantly forged ways for the Taliban. With the President, Joe Biden coming to power, the American hope on The Afghan War and the heavy presence of American troops on Afghan soil came to an un...

Dying Legacy of Pottery in Kashmir: In Conversation with Professional Potters from South Kashmir who are Considering Quitting the Ancestral Profession

REGIONAL, WRITE-UPS

Umar Farooq Pottery is one of the professions that have suffered the most in the Kashmir valley with the advent of free market. The Kashmir Valley is a place which is known for its traditional arts and crafts and pottery happens to be one of the eminent crafts. Each day, as the valley steps into a new day, the clay-made utensils find it hard to make place in daily usage, as people prefer plastic or steel utensils these days. Not only has this changed the traditional lifestyle in the Kashmir valley, but has also left the traditional potters, who carried forward their ancestral legacy of pottery to struggle for a living. The Kashmiriyat talked to a professional potter, Abdul Khaliq, who might be the last one in their ancestral lineage to carry forward the profession. Abdul...

Coming of Age in Kashmir: Between Barbed Cradles and Caged Playgrounds

FEATURED, WRITE-UPS

Mehran Bhat The armed conflict in Kashmir has rendered thousands of people homeless and traumatized since it broke out. The generations born after the '90s in Kashmir have a very unusual sense of the word, 'normal'. As far as I can remember, I was a little child the first time I visited Srinagar’s historic Jamia Masjid for Friday congregational prayers for the first time with my father. All of a sudden, loud bangs from the outside were heard. Everyone began to rush here and there and there was complete chaos. My father grabbed my arm and started walking me out of the mosque. I asked my father what was happening around, to which he responded, “Yete loug Kanejung." I was too young to make sense of what all was happening. With the passage of time, I became familiar with the word “Kan...

Mohammad Waseem On 5th August 2019, when article 370 was abrogated by the government of India, the decision was warmly welcomed by several residents of Jammu that included political parties of the Dogra Front and Shiv Sena, in fact both the political organizations.

Kounsar Bashir/ Mir Faizan Qazi/ Aadil Manzoor The Articles 370 and 35 A granted a special, semi-autonomous status to the erstwhile state of Jammu Kashmir, which was scrapped by the BJP led central government on August 5, 2019.
