And it's true, the people are very beautiful too. -- Salman Rushdie
The labours I devoted between 1888 to 1900 to the critical edition, translation and commentary of Kalhana's Rajatarangini, the only true historical text of Sanskrit literature, afforded me ample opportunities of gaining close contact with Sanskrit savants of Kashmir, the land where traditional learning of Hindu India had flourished in old times greatly and survived until recent years. -- Aurel Stein
In an ideal world, you could reunite the Pakistan-occupied part of Kashmir with the Indian-occupied part and restore the old borders.

In the night ride across the Wular lake a small storm made me worry for the safety of my manuscript (Rajatarangini).

Clinton
