Open Access Journal: Kashmir Lit





Kashmir Lit: An Online Journal of Kashmiri & Diasporic Writing

"Kashmir Lit is a platform for all those interested to write about Kashmir, particularly Kashmiri and diaspora writers. We will endeavor to feature credible authors who will
  • Enhance awareness of and be a good resource on all things Kashmiri
  • Garner moral support from people interested in Kashmir
  • Create new opportunities for writing about Kashmir through virtual and actual workshops, and interactions
Kashmir Lit, the word ‘Lit’ should not be confused with being short for “Literature” as in popular parlance. It is to be read as a whole word which means “set afire or burning”."
