Kashmir is the beauty of Dal Lake at sunset: the friendly shikarawalas, the mesmerized tourists and the houseboats with cheesy names. It is children slurping away at their softies. It is a family sitting around a trami, eating wazwan...Not only this, though. Kashmir is also barbed wire, contentious borders and government forces on every street corner. It is a lack of faith in political entities. It is too much trauma, too few psychiatrists. It is Kashmiri Pandits who left the valley, afraid for their lives. It is armed rebels who are fighting against the Indian rule since 90s. How do you convey such complexity; where do you start? Maybe with a 33 x 5 ft. canvas? - Reports Sanya Mansoor.
