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.

- The ruins of the city of Harwan, which was once a major center of learning and culture.

- The Mughal gardens of Shalimar and Nishat, which are considered to be some of the finest examples of Mughal garden architecture.
