“We had just one room to live in. Things were very difficult. But as I worked hard in this craft, we own a big house now and live a comfortable life, full of happiness and peace of mind,” Bashir says while thanking Almighty for giving him the skilful hands.
Sozni Pashmina Shawls are not any ordinary shawls. In fact, these are made from rich fibre and sold at a very high price across the globe. What makes Bashir unique is his skill which is unmatched and has been adding a distinctly vibrant look and feel to these shawls.

Recalling the event, Bashir says “Participants at the workshop were artisans from different countries. We interacted with each other and learned about each other’s work. I came to know how artisans in other countries work.”
“I believe that art and craft have no boundaries. If you have a passion for something, you have to follow it with all your effort and not worry about anything or should I say money. When you master the art, money follows you thereafter. And, do away with all sorts of hesitation. This is what makes a difference between failure and success,” Bashir advises the youth with a charming smile.

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928. Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal
" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr
