Pakistan is keen to promote its trade with India, we want economic ties getting stronger with India. Our business community is keen to reach out to their Indian counterparts. And of course, we want to resolve the issue of Kashmir, which is a flash point in our relations.

Nawaz Sharif

My dad was a Punjabi from Amritsar, and my mom is a Punjabi from Kashmir. My dad was a soldier in the Indian Army.

Akshay Kumar

I was in Kashmir last weekend. Went to visit one of my sweaters.

Albert Brooks

Kashmir is an integral part of India, and nobody can take it away from us.

Amit Shah

I speak for Kashmiri pundits because injustice has been done to them, and the political discourse doesn't give them enough importance.

Anupam Kher

I will share a personal experience: my father was posted in Jammu & Kashmir during the Kargil war. I remember my mom sitting in front of television throughout the day reading tickers which had name of the martyrs.

Anushka Sharma

Yes, I am very unhappy, extremely anguished at human rights violations against Kashmiris in India or against Rohingyas in Burma or, for that matter, Christians in Orissa; but obviously, I am going to be more concerned of violations taking place in my own house because I am closer to the people who I live with. I have more passion for them.

Asma Jahangir

Free and fair elections have again demonstrated that Jammu and Kashmir is part of India, and the people want to remain with it.

Atal Bihari Vajpayee

I was watching the devastations of the Kashmir floods, and a reporter was asking a local, who had just lost her house and her son, how she was feeling. I was stunned at the insensitivity. I did a 10-15 second satire on it and put it up on Facebook.

Bhuvan Bam

In India, there are lots of places that I love, but my favourite is Kashmir.

Chiranjeevi

I totally hate when somebody takes a classic and desecrates it. I like Jimmy Page and P. Diddy, but what they did to 'Kashmir' was a debacle.

Chuck D

In Britain, politicians who openly discuss their spirituality are about as welcome as Jehovah' s Witnesses on the doorstep, and the British associate the mixture of politics and religion as a heady cocktail best reserved for the mass irrationality of Northern Ireland, Iran, Kashmir, and the Middle East.

Gavin Esler

Where most of the country is, well, hot - from the bone-baking dry heat of the desert to the flesh-melting humidity of Kerala in the south - Kashmir is cool: so cool, in fact, that in the winter, the temperatures can sink to sub-zero.

Hanya Yanagihara

Kashmir, the 86,000-square-mile region in India's north, both is and isn't the India of the popular imagination.

Hanya Yanagihara

The traveller who aspires to reach the highlands of Tibet from Kashmir cannot be borne along in a carriage or hill-cart. For much of the way, he is limited to a foot pace, and if he has regard to his horse, he walks down all rugged and steep descents, which are many, and dismounts at most bridges.

Isabella Bird

I keep surprising myself with films like 'Mission Kashmir,' 'Albela,' 'Farz,' and 'Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai.' All the roles are very different.

Jackie Shroff

I don't know myself why directors are offering me negative roles, although I did 'Yaddein' after 'Mission Kashmir' in which I played a very positive character, but people don't remember that.

Jackie Shroff

It is time to end the western policy of malign neglect. It is in the interest of the whole world to help tackle the actual grievances in Palestine, Kashmir, and in central and southern Iraq, and to help the region out of its economic backwardness.

James Buchan

But I would say my favorite Zeppelin song to play is 'Kashmir.' I have a great time playing that one.

Jason Bonham

Our communities have been deeply enhanced by immigration, be it of Irish Catholics across the constituency or of Muslims from Gujarat in India or from Pakistan, principally from Kashmir.

Jo Cox

When a certain swathe of India's population considers the country's ancient past, it doesn't see a country fragmented into kingdoms, savaged by caste divisions, and mired in poverty; rather, what's envisioned is a vast, unified Hindu empire stretching from Kashmir to the Indian tip at Kanyakumari.
