Kashmiri English Literature  (1880CE–2030CE) The best literature of the valley of Kashmir has been written in Kashmiri language. However, the number of the writers preferring English language to Kashmiri or Urdu languages is growing with the passage of time. My dream is to make the list of all the writers of the Kashmir valley writing in English language. It will be my pleasure if you help me fulfill my dream. Kindly email me the name of the Kashmir writer and the titles of his/her published books. My email ID is sahilsharifdinenglish@gmail.com .  Introduction English language arrived in the valley in the   final quarter of the nineteenth century .   The first English Medium school , Tyndale Biscoe School   was opened by missionaries in 1876 CE at Lal chowk in the heart of Srinagar . J   Hilton Knowles was the first principal of Tyndale Biscoe and he held the post from 1876 CE   to 1880 CE . He also authored ' A dictionary of Kashmiri Proverbs and sayings (1880) ' and '

  Someone Whom I Want To Eat  There are people called ' Strangers '  Who pose me no threats , no dangers.  They see me daily but do not talk; I see them daily and ahead I walk.  Then there are people ' Less Friendly ' Who like to speak with me rarely. Or, chat in a year once or twice.  Or, call when they need my advice.  Next group is made of my ' Ex-friends '  Who could not leave me for two seconds.  Then they grew clever and left me alone— No meet , no message and no telephone.  Then there are people ' Very Friendly ' Who meet me often and talk Kindly. They laugh and eat and travel with me.  I love them like the whale loves sea.  Then there is that ' Intimate Person ' , Sweet and sour like a lemon.  Someone who increases my heartbeat; Someone whom I want to eat.  Someone who knows my private life Someone dearer than friends and wife.  [ Poet : Sahil Sharifdin Bhat ] 

Why did Bertrand Russell leave Christianity ? Bertrand Russell left Christianity and accepted atheism because: A] Jesus ordered Christians not to resist evil and if anyone slaps any Christian on the right cheek , the Christian must offer the left cheek also.  B] Jesus ordered Christians not to judge anyone lest they should be judged too.  C] Jesus ordered Christians to give their all wealth in charity if they want to be perfect Christians.  D] Jesus asked Christians to cut their sinful hands or remove their sinful eyes or damage their sinful organs otherwise their whole bodies will burn in Hell.  E] Jesus killed innocent pigs and cursed an innocent fig tree as stated in the Bible.  F] Jesus prohibited divorce for all the Christians even if they suffer in unhappy marriages. G] Jesus frightened people with Hellfire unlike Socrates and Buddha.  Conclusion Modern Christians follow Bertrand Russell or the people like him and leave Christianity and then they accept atheism or Isla

  To you , your Deen ; to me , the Deen of the prophet Muhammad ﷺ Sahil Sharifdin Bhat Some people offered prayers five times daily behind the prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in the famous Masjid of Madina but that did not save them from hellfire. Some people performed Jihad with the prophet of Islam (PBUH) against the enemies of Islam but they still entered Hell . Likewise , some people read the holy Quran daily but follow the instructions , desires and opinions of their teachers , imams, muftis and others and assume they are Muslims and all others are Kuffar and non-Muslims. May Allah guide them ! According to a survey, there are 1.8 billion Muslims in the world today but I think there is not a single Muslim in the world . Do you know why? It is because I hear Sunnis saying that shias are Kuffar and I also hear shias preaching that Sunnis are Kuffar. I also hear Barailvis shouting that Deobandis and wahabis are not Muslims and I hear deobandis and Wahabis lecturing that Barailvis are

  Philosophy Behind The Eid Qurbani?   لَن يَنَالَ اللَّهَ لُحُومُهَا وَلَا دِمَاؤُهَا وَلَٰكِن يَنَالُهُ التَّقْوَىٰ مِنكُمْ كَذَٰلِكَ سَخَّرَهَا لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَبَشِّرِ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (Surah Al-Hajj, Verse 37) Neither the blood nor the meat of the sacrificial animals reach Allah  but your *Taqwa* reaches Him [ In fact , the creator does not need the blood or the flesh of the Qurbani animals . He does not eat food . ]  ; thus has He made them [ animals] subservient to you, that you may magnify Allah because He has guided you [ to Islam ] and give good news to those who do good (to others by feeding them good food on the special day of Eid ).   What is TAQWA?   Taqwa is that state of your mind when you dislike committing sins and feel excited to perform virtues . Remember, showing off is a sin and feeding the poor and the hungry is a virtue . The purpose of   the Qurbani is not to be cruel to animals but   to be k
