@Fowler&fowler: Shouldn't we include the phrase Indian-administered somewhere in the lead since we have Kashmir Valley written there? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:56, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I'll take a look. Thanks. Fowler&fowler «Talk» 11:42, 10 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is a group photo of prostitutes of ambiguous origins from 19th century is being shown as "representative" of Kashmiris

Why is a group photo of ambiguous origin prostitutes (or Nautch girls) in 19th century Srinagar are being shown as an example of "Kashmiris". These prostitutes were always of cosmopolitan origins from various regions of South Asia and were related to prostitutes found in neighboring kingdoms like Punjab, Delhi and Lucknow etc. These were never of any kind of pure origin. Only farmers of Kashmir valley living in the villages of Kashmir valley since centuries are the true representative of the ethnicity called "Kashmiris".

Abhisares never ruled the Kashmir Valley. He is not mentioned either in Nilmatapurana or Rajataringini. He might have been a king of some non-Kashmiri neighboring region.

Christianity should be added as a religious 'Minority' following Sikhism in the list. https://www.census2011.co.in/data/religion/state/1-jammu-and-kashmir.html

I don't know how to make edits and would appreciate someone who does know how to edit, to please do so. Teresa Gill (talk) 14:32, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
