I have chosen a part of India, namely, Kashmir and its people, their nature and consciousness as a theme of my discussion. The reason for my selection is that by our study of the true nature and consciousness of the people of Kashmir we are able to determine their genuine aspirations for day to day life and in a rich diversity of Indian life. India comprises of a mix of various cultures and life-styles. These are woven together in a fabric which lends a rich and charming look to the composite culture of India. The poets and seers in Kashmir have in particular provided their thoughts which have helped a unified image of the culture of India to grow through time immemorial. The recent wave of violence in Kashmir seems a temporary phase which we hope will pass away bringing back image of harmony and love. The violence of gun was planted in Kashmir from across the border in Kashmir.
We shall also examine the synthesis in the Kashmiri traditions that helps us combine and synthesise cultures, spiritual beliefs, and scientific disciplines.
Excellent tourist spot and scenario.
