Twenty-three-year-old Nazar Nasir from Srinagar has been taking the lead in making accessories and clothes through less practiced crochet, locally known as Quraishi in Kashmir. As per Nazar he learned the craft from his sister during the 2016 lockdown in Kashmir but claims that he has been facing a shortage of raw material in Kashmir’s markets. He says that crochet should not be related to the gender of a person, since it is being mostly practiced by females in the region.
The Kashmir Walla needs you, urgently. Only you can do it.
We have always come to you for help: The Kashmir Walla is battling at multiple fronts — and if you don’t act now, it would be too late. 2020 was a year like no other and we walked into it already battered. The freedom of the press in Kashmir was touching new lows as the entire population was gradually coming out of one of the longest communication blackouts in the world.
We are not a big organization. A few thousand rupees from each one of you would make a huge difference.
The Kashmir Walla plans to extensively and honestly cover — break, report, and analyze — everything that matters to you. You can help us.
