  1. 65 years after 1947, Kashmiri as yet couldn't cast a free vote for a future they'd wish for themselves and are told to accept voting within the national frameworks of India and Pakistan, next to a daily context of militairy green instead of green nature. Hope & wish future will become bright and colourful soon
