It evolved over 2400 years from contact with Aryan and later incorporated vocabulary from Arabic, Persian, and Dravidian languages. There is debate around whether Sindhi originated from Sanskrit or is an ancient Indo-Aryan language. It can be written in several scripts including Devanagari, Arabic, and Khudabadi scripts. Sindhi also has various regional dialects distinguished by phonological, grammatical, and vocabulary differences.
Kashmir is known as "Heaven on Earth" due to its natural beauty. The population living in the Kashmir Valley is primarily Muslim, while Jammu has a mix of Hindus and Muslims, and Ladakh has mostly Buddhist Tibetan origins. Kashmiri culture has been influenced by Central Asia and Persia due to its location along the Silk Road. Some iconic aspects of Kashmiri culture include the pheran cloak, kanger heaters, wazwan cuisine, salted noon chai tea, and traditional music forms like chakri and rouf dances.

We from the country known as the Cradle of the World Civilization appeal to all and sundry to also respect our views and culture instead of blasting off the mines and minds of innocent peoples.
Amidst all this, Pakistan wants India to "solve the Kashmir Issue", without addressing the core question - who drove away, threatened, killed the original residents of Kashmir the Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir? Where are they now? Who controls their property in Kashmir? Why are the Muslim majority in Kashmir increasingly demanding freedom from India when it has always been part of India... These are vital questions that needs answeres... and then there are practical reasons too, why Kashmir must stay with India
The Kashmir dispute is a long-standing territorial conflict between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir region. Kashmir is important to both countries for strategic reasons, including its water resources and proximity to key transportation routes. The conflict has led to multiple wars between India and Pakistan and remains a flashpoint for potential nuclear conflict in the region. Despite UN resolutions calling for a plebiscite to determine Kashmir's status, India has resisted allowing Kashmiris a vote for independence for over 55 years. The dispute remains unresolved and a serious threat to regional stability and security.
