It is unfortunate that we have distanced ourselves from Sufism and our language. Sufism is the main promoter and representative of Kashmiri language. The Kashmiri language represents peace, brotherhood and communal harmony.""The need of the hour is to promote Kashmiri language at school and college levels," Rasool added.Social activist Farooq Ganderbali said, "Kashmiri language is our identity, but unfortunately through a properly worked out strategy from across the border, our language is forced to fade. It is an operation from across the border to ruin our cultural fabric and decades-long identity."Voice for Peace and Justice and J&K Youth Development Forum are in the forefront for revival of Sufism, Kashmiri language, communal harmony and brotherhood. We are duty-bound morally to work continuously for the same."Traditional Kashmiri Sufiyana music was played during the function.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
