One Reply to “Kashmir in The Wide World, 1948”

  1. I was wondering did they write any articles on Kashmir in that magazine or did they just only shown a cover of Kashmir ? Talking about connections between Kashmir and the UK, there used to be a British TV drama series in 2012 called Kidnap and Ransom that was shown in the UK on the ITV channel. And in one episode, they had a story about a British hostage negotiator dealing with terrorists who kidnapped tourists in Kashmir. One of the terrorists in the drama was named as "Anwar Razdan", yes a combination of a muslim and pandit name – how bad researchers these Brits are. Anyway the episode was so unrealistic, not only in terms of names such as "Anwar Razdan", but the scene claiming to be Srinagar looked like Rajasthan. Interestingly the character "Anwar Razdan" was played by Madhur Mittal, who played the character Salim in Slumdog Millionaire.
