E-Charkha can be used by Pashmina spinners for quality hand-spun Pashmina yarn with minimum effort so as to earn maximum wages. A textile engineer from Jammu & Kashmir’s Baramulla district has developed an Electric Charkha (E-Charkha), a redesigned version of the traditional Charkha (spinning wheel). Developed by Farooq Ahmad Malik from Sopore, the E-Charkha is feasible and convenient for spinning of Pashmina yarn & the results in terms of production and quality of yarn are pretty good when compared to spinning on a traditional Charkha. “After months of research, I have developed this E-Charkha. The idea struck me after I thought of spinners especially women who are involved in spinning of Pashmina on traditional Charkha. They are being paid a very meagre amount as spinning charges i.e, they hardly earn Rs. 30-40 per day on a traditional Charkha,” Farooq Ahmad says.

What follows is a barrage of opinions from both; self-proclaimed experts and PhDs, all of whom have developed their own ‘perfect, vision for the resolution of Kashmir.’ As always, the ones who suffer and felt left out are none other than the Kashmiris. Do we really know what Kashmir is? Will we ever associate

A resident of New Colony area in south Kashmir’s Pulwama district, Ali Mohammad Bhat has been working as a floriculturist from the past twenty years. And, he has been successful enough to grow almost all the varieties of flower plants that he once fetched from Srinagar and other places in order to fulfil the requirements of his customers. Floriculturist Ali Mohommad Bhat “ I have done enough business with people from other districts but one thing always pricked me while making a deal.
