Internet gives wings to Gurez Valley culture, folklore

Bandipora, Oct 28: The Internet facility made available to this region some two years ago has brought about the culture and folk music of Gurez Valley in north Kashmir on the wider media helping it win fans outside of J&K and elsewhere.

A mosaic of folklore, traditional music, language and culture of Gurez Valley, besides the natural beauty it commands, has become part of a complete package luring tourists from far and wide.

“The internet has given us a voice and reach. Our work for the Dard-Shina language is getting appreciation outside of J&K as also from across the border,” Fareed Ahmad Kaloo, singer and head of Habakhatoon Dramatic Club told Greater Kashmir.
