Acchi baatei bhi banti hei Khabar
In 2014, deluge hit the Kashmir valley but as the water level went higher, the prejudices sank. While Muslims ate food from Gurudwara, Hindus found home in Mosques. It was heartwarming to see that what makes Kashmir heavenly is not the landscape but divine qualities that were reflected during an earthly calamity.
Indian media flooded the masses with the idea of what a great job army had done in saving kashmiri people and once the local media in Kashmir bounced back, they ensured to rebut all the claims by saying that the true heroes were the local people themselves.
The mental barriers that were washed way by the flood were created again and the lessons taught by the calamity proved to be transitory.
The battle was always between us vs. them, it never became “WE”.
And then, Khosh Khabar was born, to cover stories that reflect the constructive forces of the Kashmiri society. This is not a platform for advancing vain pride and show how great we are but to advance our insight and develop the capacity to understand that reality of human beings is their soul and as soul has no gender, race, caste etc so we all share the same spiritual heritage.
Khosh Khabar brings diverse people together, it makes them ponder, wonder and believes that humans are created noble and everyone was born to carry forward an ever advancing civilization.
