Kashmir today is truely "The Country without a Post Office"

Agah Shahid, having come from the unfortunate valley, a living hell for its inhabitants and indeed a paradise on earth has chosen the most appropriate title. Today what Kashmir needs is indeed a post office, a post office which would open and facilitate dialogue. It indeed comes as a relief to hear about Kashmir and all that it stands for and not violence and death these days. One can only wish there were more Shahids from Kashmir who could lend there voice for Kashmir. Agah brings out the essence of Kashmir in his work. A must for anyone who is interested in Kashmir.
