You have to wonder whether these article writers ever read the news.
http://news.google.com/news?q=kashmi...&sa= N&tab=wn doesn't sound that peaceful to me. |

Yep, that puts it in perspective a bit, -m2-.
 Having said that, I feel more confident about going to Srinagar now than I have done for years. Probably naivete on my part, I know, but that's the way I feel nonetheless.

Hi Concoran and m2,
I have read the news in bbc this afternoon and was really amazed, even have started a thread with such good news from Kashmir. Finally I thought that something was creaking in this story. News should be only news and propaganda or wishes are different things, but bbc is not the right place to do it.  |

Too many good ideas on this forum. Why not going there in october? Just a little trip of 1 or 2 weeks to see this paradise and to see what really happen there. I'm thinking about it
 Salutations, Fred |
