Editorial: Azad Kashmir is a land of rich history and culture, with a wealth of historical sites that bear witness to its past. From the ancient fort of Ramkot to the Buddhist university of Sharda Peeth, these sites are a testament to the region’s diverse heritage.

Unfortunately, many of these historical sites are in danger of being lost to neglect and decay. The fort of Ramkot, for example, is now in ruins, and the Buddhist university of Sharda Peeth has been damaged by shelling and looting.

This is a tragedy, not only for the people of Azad Kashmir, but for the world. These historical sites are a part of our shared human heritage, and they deserve to be preserved for future generations.

The government of Azad Kashmir must take action to protect its historical heritage. This includes funding restoration projects, providing security for these sites, and raising awareness of their importance.

We must also do our part to protect these sites. When we visit them, we should be respectful of their history and heritage. We should also educate others about the importance of these sites, and encourage them to visit and support their preservation.

Azad Kashmir’s historical heritage is a treasure trove that we must cherish and protect. By working together, we can ensure that these sites are preserved for future generations to enjoy.

In addition to the fort of Ramkot and the Buddhist university of Sharda Peeth, there are many other historical sites in Azad Kashmir that are in need of preservation. These include:

• The ruins of the city of Harwan, which was once a major center of learning and culture.
• The ancient temple of Martand, which is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimage sites in Kashmir.
• The Mughal gardens of Shalimar and Nishat, which are considered to be some of the finest examples of Mughal garden architecture.

These are just a few of the many historical sites in Azad Kashmir that are in danger of being lost. We must act now to protect them, before it is too late.

Gilgit: (Azadi Times) The body of a third Indian administered Jammu Kashmir national has been recovered in Kharmang, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan administered Jammu Kashmir, in the past two weeks. The bodies of two other Indian nationals were found in the same area in July.

The latest body was found on August 5, 2023, by villagers in the Kharmang district of Gilgit Baltistan. The body has not been identified, but it is believed to be that of a young woman.

The Pakistani authorities have not yet handed over the bodies to the Indian authorities, despite multiple requests from the people and the administration of Kargil, Indian administered city of Jammu Kashmir.

The villagers in Kharmang have expressed concern about the lack of action by the Pakistani authorities. They say that the bodies are decomposing and that it is not appropriate to keep them in the area.

They have also called on the Pakistani authorities to create a mechanism to deal with such issues on humanitarian grounds.

The recovery of these bodies is a reminder of the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan. It is also a reminder of the human cost of this conflict.

The Pakistani authorities must take action to hand over the bodies to the Indian authorities and to create a mechanism to deal with such issues on humanitarian grounds.

Srinagar: (Azadi Times) Kashmiris on Friday marked the fifth anniversary of the August 5th decision, in which India revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir and divided the region into two union territories.

The decision was met with widespread protests and condemnation from the Kashmiri people, who felt that it was a violation of their fundamental rights.

On the anniversary, Kashmiris held protests across the region, calling for the restoration of their special status and demanding that their democratic and constitutional rights be respected. In Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, protesters clashed with security forces, resulting in several injuries.

In a statement, the J&K Awami-e-Tehreek, a Kashmiri political party, said that the August 5th decision was “a day of injustice” and that the Kashmiri people would never forget it. The party said that it still had hope that the Supreme Court of India would restore their rights.

The J&K Awami-e-Tehreek also called for peace and stability in Kashmir, but said that it should be a “realistic” peace, not one that is used as a “propaganda tool” to gain votes. The party said that the current situation in Kashmir is far from peaceful, with frequent protests and clashes between security forces and civilians.

The J&K Awami-e-Tehreek also expressed concern about the lack of employment opportunities in Kashmir. The party said that it has been five years since the August 5th decision, and there has still been no election in the region. This means that Kashmiris have not had a chance to elect their own representatives, who could address the region’s economic and social problems.

The protests on Friday are a reminder that the August 5th decision is still a source of anger and resentment among many Kashmiris. It remains to be seen whether the Supreme Court will be able to resolve the situation and restore peace and stability to the region.
