ABSTRACT
O land of blue mountains, verdant valleys and murmuring streams! Whose envy has eaten into your beauty? Hamlets on fire, wailing women and children, booming guns, Who has poisoned the fragrant air? Who are those ravaging the valley of flowers, And beguiling the innocent people of Kashmir? —a Kashmiri song sung by Gul Akhtar, a professional Kashmiri Muslim woman musician who can no longer sing in Kashmir
