Amit Shah hinted at naming Kashmir after Rishi Kashyap-Photo ANI
Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday January 2, 2025 , while releasing the book ‘J&K and Ladakh Through the Ages’, said that Kashmir could be named after Mahrishi Kashyap. He said that the mention of Shankaracharya, Silk Route, Hemish Math proves that the foundation of India’s culture was laid in Kashmir.
Kashmiri, Dogri, Balti and Jhanskari languages were given government approval. I thank PM Modi for this. The PM had requested that even the smallest local language of Kashmir should be kept alive after becoming a UT. This shows how much the PM thinks about Kashmir. He said that Section 370 and 35A were provisions to prevent the country from becoming one. There was no majority in the Constituent Assembly on these sections. That is why it was made temporary at that time, but after independence this tainted chapter was removed by the Modi government and the path of development was opened by the Modi government. He said that Article 370 sowed the seeds of separatism among the youth in Kashmir. Article 370 broke the connection between India and Kashmir, that is why terrorism flourished and spread in the valley. Terror spread in the valley.. but after the removal of Article 370, the terror of Kashmir has decreased in Kashmir.
India’s border based on cultural tradition
He said that an attempt has been made to establish the history of Kashmir through the book. At one place in this book, the history of Kashmir has been told with evidence. India is the only country in the whole world, whose boundary is based on cultural tradition, that is why India from Kashmir to Kanyakumari is one. The attempt to understand India can be true only when the culture of Geo-Sanskriti has to be understood.
The facts that break our country have to be understood. The facts were presented in a distorted manner. Some people saw history from a crooked perspective. One thing has been proved through this book that parts of culture are scattered in every corner of India, many of them have come from Kashmir.
