About Us

Kashmir Lit is a platform for all those interested to write about Kashmir, particularly Kashmiri and diaspora writers. Kashmir Lit aims to:

  • Enhance awareness of and be a resource on all things Kashmiri
  • Create global solidarity with people interested in Kashmir
  • Create writing and critical reading opportunities through virtual and actual workshops and seminars

Kashmir Lit, the word ‘Lit’ should not be confused with being short for “Literature” as is used in popular parlance. It is to be read as a whole word which means “set afire or burning.”
