Jammu and Kashmir

Most people here wear traditional clothes, though you will see working executives and youngsters in western clothes as well. Traditional clothes for men include Kurta Pyjama in summers, but in winters, woolen clothes come out. A kind of an overcoat called Pheran is worn over Kurta. It is quite loose but inside Pheran, a warm pot called kangri is kept, such is the severity of winters here. For women, ladies suit and Burqha (veil) is the most common attire in summers and in winters Phreran are used.

it started after independence of india in 1947.

Kashmir has been at the center of a brutal tug-of-war between India and Pakistan for over sixty years. They have been struggling to obtain the region. There has been a temporary resolution, known as the line of control, splitting Kashmir so that India gets control over two thirds of the region. However, even though tensions had lessened, they haven't stopped completely. Three additional wars broke out between India and Pakistan. Pakistan believes Kashmir belongs to them because of its Muslim majority. Also Kashmiri people would much rather be with Pakistan even though India is rapidly growing economically, because of its Muslim majority-they're in fear of being considered second class citizens to the Hindus.

Kanyakumari is just 8 degrees away from the equator. As equator receives the direct Sun rays, there won't be hardly any difference between the day & night. Where as, Kashmir is 37 degrees away from the equator. So there can be about 5 hrs difference between day & night.

The area comprising the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir is one of remarkable linguistic diversity. Within it two major language families, the Indo-European and the Sino-Tibetan, each dominate over extensive areas, while an as-yet-unclassified language, Burushaski, occupies a relatively small niche along the border with China and Afghanistan. Among the Indo-European languages, Kashmiri, Shina, and several other local tongues (spoken over much of the Northern Areas and in a small portion of Kargil district) form a distinct Dardic group, whose area of dominance also extends across the northern part of the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan and into northeastern Afghanistan. Whether or not this group constitutes a separate sub-family within the Indo-European family is a question still debated by linguists; but none doubts the linguistic affinity of Dardic languages. Kashmiri, despite accounting for the largest number of speakers in the state, occupies only a relatively small area centering on the Vale of Kashmir.

Punjabi, accounting for the second most numerous group of speakers, dominates in Azad Kashmir, while Dogri, often considered a dialect of Punjabi, is the principal language of Jammu, but its dominance there is much less pronounced than that of Kashmiri in Kashmir. Also within the Indo-European family are several locally dominant languages, most notably Gojri, the language spoken by the Gujar and Bakerwal pastoral communities, and various dialects collectively grouped under the designation "Pahari" (i.e., of the mountains). All these are now lumped by the Indian census under the term "Hindi," in marked contrast to census practice up to the year 1971; and it is no longer possible to disaggregate them. Finally, two mutually comprehensible dialects of Tibetan, Balti and Ladakhi, dominate in Pakistani-held Baltistan and Indian-held Ladakh respectively. The following table provides some overall data:

*** Probably overcounted, with commensurate undercounting of Pahari and Gojri.

**** Percentages cannot be specified in that Shina, other Dardic languages, Balti, and Burushaski are all grouped by census under "Others." Based on data of pre-independence censuses, Shina (spoken mainly in Gilgit and Diamir Districts) and Balti (spoken in Baltistan) are believed to rank first and second respectively within the Northern Areas.

From the partition to this day major disputes between Pakistan and India are common.One of the major disputes which is unsolved till this day is the Kashmir issue.Before the partition many semi autonomous states had to decide to join India or Pakistan.Many small states had no problem choosing the country but big states like Junagadh Hyderabad and Kashmir.Kashmir could easily come and join Pakistan but Harri singh the ruler was the Hindu and wouldn't let the majority Muslims to join Pakistan.Harri singhs government was effectively overthrown and asked India for help.India agreed provided that he signed the instrument of accession which would make Kashmir a part of India.However condition of accession was that a rule would be held for all Kashmirs to make final choose.India didn't agree.

Till this day this dispute is still unsolved,
