Past Srinagar, a land of ice and fantasy
Kashmiri porters on horseback travel past walls of snow along the newly-reopened Srinagar-Leh highway in Zojila, about 108 km (67 miles) east of Srinagar, on April 25, 2012. PHOTO: AFP
The Srinagar-Leh highway connects Kashmir with the Buddhist-dominated Ladakh region, a famous tourist destination.
Great slideshow. I am eagerly waiting the completion of the Jammu-Srinagar Rail link which when complete would be a technological marvel.

@Someone
What does Pakistani rangers jeeps in karachi tells you about karachi?
Recommend
@ Protector of Pakistan
You have been wanting to do so since last 65 years, but the net result of your unsuccessful efforts is the loss of half your country and Pakistan becoming an unstable failed state
Recommend
@Protector Of Pakistan:
These are Pakistani territories
Can you please explain how these are Pakistani territories? at time of partition was it officially given to Pakistan? or did the rulers of the territory legally accede them to Pakistan?
Recommend
@let there be peace: Hyderabad, Junagadh, northeast India etc. did not accede to India in 1947, they were forcefully occupied. Using your argument, they should be seperate countries as envisaged by their rulers.

ya land of Fantasy for sure, after going to siachen every soldier thinks he is now more holy and enlighted and hence has the right to crush civilian life as he sees fit.

@Protector Of Pakistan:
The word Kashmir is a sanskrit word and it has been a part of India since time immemorial.
Recommend
@Protector Of Pakistan:
If you can take these territories back whenever you would want to, then why did you let India capture these territories in the first palce?
Recommend
@let there be true peace:
Actually they did accede to India.
There were more than five hundred princely states in India. ALL of them are part of either Pakistan or India. NONE of them is independent country. If you have any document to prove that Hyderabad and Junagarh or J&K acceded to Pakistan, you are welcome to show it to international court.

@Protector of Pakistan: Enough of these delusions and war mongering! As a Pakistani I want to live in peace with India.

@let there be true peace: ” … Hyderabad, Junagadh, northeast India etc. did not accede to India in 1947, they were forcefully occupied. … “
We are part of India from time of baba-adam. And so are you.
