@RanaSahib, Many thanks for being a mediator :). Rana Sahib my History is a bit hazy, but was't Gilgit, Baltistan part of Kashmir in 1947? Northern Areas = Northern Kashmir?
Are Sheens Muslim? Do you have (known) any printed guide to find Halal food if we visit these Regions & Northern Areas. I only have known Nurestani people..through a documentary about how they conduct maritial ceremonies on PTV GLOBAL...also a region called kafiristan. I will only go there after collecting all necessary information in future...
Ofcourse there could be tens of Languages being spoken in Kashmir (I can't speak Kashmiri) but Geographically it's could be one, like urdu,pushto,sindhi, baluchi languages are regional languages of many(still Pakistani) people. Were you talking about Caste (Kashmiri)...again Kashmir is a multi-caste and multi-Religion Territory with wide Linguistic & Religious diversity....I understand cultural differences are
big issues....aswell...Are there any areas 'best to avoid' for safety reasons?
I am not much into Political Discussions, hence.....Mity Pao...Unfortunately, we belong to a Region in the World where pulling along 4 Directions is a Norm.....
But, Thanks for your kind information.
