New gen Harry Potter headcanons because I'm waiting for my laundry to dry and I'm bored:

Astoria malfoy is from Japan, so scorpius is wasian but still somehow comes out with that malfoy-blonde hair and blue eyes colour pallet, despite still having very Japanese features just like his mother

Carmen and Marco zabini are twins. Carmen is the older one, and she's a total no-nonsense baddie. Marco, on the other hand, is the very embodiment of a golden retriever boy.

Carmen does Marcos hair because he's horrible at taking care of it, and she learned how to braid at the age of 7.

Albus thinks he looks nothing like Harry, and he actually prides himself on being his father's complete opposite [he's actually the only potter kid that looks like an exact carbon copy of Harry]

The potters speak urdu at home, James Lily and Albus call Harry Baba and ginny muma. I'd like to think Harry- After graduating, probably had a phase where he was immensely involved in learning about his desi heritage. I feel like he probably even travelled to Pakistan a couple of times to reconnect with his culture. But I also feel like he felt more like a third culture kid sort of connection to it. The UK was still his home, and he didn't think that would ever change. He still tried, though. He learned the language and tried to teach it to his children so they wouldn't feel as alienated from their ethnicity as he probably did. Ginny learned urdu alongside him, partially because she just wanted to encourage him.

When scorpius was little he would often find himself talking to the portrait of his uncle regulus that his grandma had put up after the war. Uncle reggie , as he liked to be called, was scorpius' favourite old family memeber.

Harry always introduces Teddy as his oldest son.

Albus is exceptional at potions. He's also very talented in quidditch, the only thing is he doesn't really like playing.

James on the other hand is a total jock. I'm talking Oliver Wood level dedication to the craft of quidditch.

Lily luna is the embodiment of that scene from good omens season two of the little girl going "And I'm jemaimah! I made this pot!!"

Fred II likes to go by freddie, and him and James II are practically James and sirius 2.0. It drives McGonagall crazy.

Carmen and Marco make everyone believe they have twin telepathy as a prank one day, but now they have to keep up the bit because it's too late to drop it.

Scorpius has a pet ferret and he named it bunny. He was 6 and he thought it would be funny.

When scor was a kid he would colour in dracos dark mark with felt tip markers and scribble all over his arm and go "there now it's pretty". One day draco walked into a tattoo parlour with a scribbled mess on his arm and told the artist to make his sons art work permanent. Draco still has the mark but now its sporting all sorts squiggles and shapes in every colour imaginable. Scorpius thinks its embarrassing because that was definitely not one of his more finer works but draco finds comfort in the way his life's biggest regret becomes just a little more bareable because of Scorpius' childish innocence.

Draco is dad of the year. Harry on the other hand... is still trying to get there.

That's all thanks for coming to ny Ted talk

tl;dr  local  area  failson  fails  upwards  because  all  that  money  has  formed  a  safety  net  so  high  up  that  failure  was  quite  literally  made  impossible  —  and  he  knows  this  not  for  a  lack  of  trying,  either,  so  fuck  it,  he  might  as  well  enjoy  the  show! aka  kendall  roy  but  if  logan  roy  was  a  good  father

let’s  get  one  thing  out  of  the  way:  you  never  really  wanted  this.  then  again,  you  never  really  wanted  anything:  you,  who  wanted  for  nothing  ever  since  you  were  a  child,  silver-spoon  scion  of  a  politician’s  lovelorn  grief.  you  reminded  him  of  his  loss,  and  he  treasured  you  for  it,  this  persistent  yet  foolish  hope  that  who  we  love  persists  in  some  form  long  after  they  are  gone.  you  never  knew  your  loss,  poor  child,  and  he  never  taught  it  to  you  either:  your  father,  so  loving  yet  so  unwise,  so  caring  yet  so  reckless.  in  his  desire  to  make  your  world  softer,  he  has  made  a  monster  out  of  you.

but  we’re  getting  ahead  of  ourselves,  aren’t  we?    you  were  a  child,  and  you  wanted  like  a  child,  and  you  felt  things  as  deeply  yet  as  fleetingly  as  a  child  only  ever  could.  you  made  your  father  fire  three  nannies  in  a  row,  then  didn’t  speak  to  him  for  all  of  two  days  because  the  new  nanny  couldn’t  make  chiru  dosa  in  a  way  you  like.  so  then  your  first  nanny  was  recalled,  but  you  didn’t  want  to  see  your  new  nanny  cry  —  and  so  your  father  decrees:  then  you  shall  have  two.

that  was  your  life:  your  father  bending  to  your  will,  always  ever  to  your  will.  he  was  so  attuned  to  your  state  of  being  that  he  knew  what  you  wanted  before  you  yourself  did,  buying  you  your  first  wicket  and  bat,  your  first  horse,  then  —  when  you  got  greedy,  as  children  often  are  —  a  cricket  team,  a  stable,  a  polo  franchise…  on  and  on  and  on  the  list  goes,  until  there  is  so  much  love  that  you  are  drowning  in  it,  so  much  stuff,  so  much  money,  so  much  of  everything,  everything,  every—

what  happens  to  a  child  who  is  never  taught  no?    you  never  once  learn:  there  is  a  limit  one  can  go,  and  one  day  you’ll   brush  up  against  it,  and  you  have  to  understand  that  the  safest  course  of  action  is  to  turn  back  around.

yet  here,  now,  a  list  of  fuck-ups:  a  wrecked  car,    an  accidental  overdose,  two,  another wrecked  car,    a  wrecked  room  and  a  wrecked  house,  a  party  where  everything  goes  wrong  and  the  police  gets  called  and  there’s  an  ambulance  and  you’re  in  the  middle  of  a  psychotic  episode  and  you  start  to  think  this  is  it  but then  —  no,  your  father  makes  a  few  calls  and  it’s  all  wiped  clean  and  you  realise  this  is  it.

somewhere  in  the  fucked-up  breaking-down  grey  matter  of  your  brain,  something  rewires.  this  is  it.  gets  shifted:  this  is  it.  when  you  check  out  of  the  hospital,  your  father  doesn’t  even  berate  you,  only  says  everything  is  taken  care  of.  which  makes  your  brain  break  again  because  you  realise  that  this  is  it.  this  is  you.  nothing  changes;  nothing  passes:  everything  lies  still  in  perfect  equilibrium,  where  you  will  never  want  for  anything,  not  even  success,  not  even  failure,  not  even  evolution,  nothing  but  perfect  voidness  of  conditions.

you  had  ambitions,  when  you  were  a  child:  cricket,  mainly,  then  polo  —  but  anything  sports-related  is  too  much  work  to  juggle  with  your  continued  drug  dependence,  so  you  take  the  path  of  least  resistance.  you  remember,  once,  the  way  people  clapped  at  your  so-so  performance  in  the  school  play.  you  don’t  delude  yourself,  of  course.  people  clapped  and  cheered  when  you  presented  yourself  in  the  roll  call  because  they  knew  your  dad  was  there  but  —  that  didn’t  matter.  you  liked  the  attention.  you  liked  the  clapping  and  the  cheers  and  all  eyes  on  you  like  you’re  a  man  just  like  you’re  father.  so:  bollywood  it  is.

your  father  pays  for  it,  obviously.  if  you  had  any  scruples,  you  might  have  been  ashamed,  but  there  are  no  scruples  because  there  are  no  limits.  because  this  is  it  we’re talking  about  here.  and  so  you  get  one  role  you  did  shit  in,  another  where  you’re  kind  of  so-so,  then  another  where  you’re  passable  and  —  wonder  of  wonders  —  some  roles  where  you  discover  that  you’re  actually  good.

and  so  this  is  what  life  is,  and  so  this  is  what  life  has  become:  an  accident  of  meaninglessness  where  you  planned  for  none  of  it,  and  yet  you’ve  made  a  miracle  out  of  it.  an  interviewer  once  asks  you  what  do  you  credit  for  your  success?  and  you  laughed  at  their  faces.  credit?    you  asked.  what  the  fuck  are  you  talking  about?    this  is  all  me,  baby.    i’m  it.

Translation: The love of teachers, their anger too, In both, there was a world full of mysteries. While we learned, we understood too, That the real meaning of life was to teach.

4. The Farewell Moment

School ki ghadiyaan, kuch kuch yaadein, Dil mein bas gaye hain kuch khushbu ki raatein. Kya pata phir kab milenge hum dost, Aaj ke baad na rahegi yeh rishton ki baatein.

Translation: The moments of school, some memories, In my heart are the nights filled with pleasant fragrances. Who knows when we will meet again, friends, After today, these talks of togetherness will no longer exist.

5. The Classroom Moments

Classroom mein thi wo masroofiyat ki baatein, Jahan humne seekha tha, zindagi ke asar ki baatein. Kitni baar uss dosti ki tasveer dil mein rakhkar, Humne apne sapno ko sach kar dikhaya tha yeh rishta.

Translation: In the classroom, there were talks of busyness, Where we learned the lessons of life's impact. How many times, with that picture of friendship in our hearts, We made our dreams come true through this bond.

The Evolution of Lucknow Schools: Tradition Meets Innovation!

Lucknow, often referred to as the City of Nawabs, is not just known for its rich cultural heritage but also for its rapidly evolving educational landscape. Over the years, schools in Lucknow have gracefully blended traditional values with modern teaching techniques, creating an environment where students can thrive academically and personally.

A Journey Rooted in Tradition

Historically, education in Lucknow was deeply influenced by its royal past. Early schools emphasized languages like Urdu and Persian, alongside moral values and cultural teachings. Many institutions were established to cater to elite families, ensuring children were groomed to carry forward the city’s traditions.

The city’s emphasis on knowledge and learning grew stronger with time, laying the foundation for some of the best schools in Lucknow that still honor these age-old principles while embracing global changes.

The Advent of Modern Education

As Lucknow evolved, so did its education system. Schools began adopting new teaching methods, focusing on science, technology, and modern subjects. The introduction of CBSE, ICSE, and international curricula gave parents more options for their children’s education.

One of the key milestones was the integration of extracurricular activities, sports, and arts into the academic framework. This holistic approach transformed Lucknow’s education system, making it more inclusive and well-rounded. Many of the top schools in Lucknow are now known for providing students with diverse learning opportunities beyond the classroom.

Embracing Technology

In recent years, technology has played a significant role in shaping Lucknow’s schools. Smart classrooms, interactive boards, and online learning platforms have become common features. Schools are investing in advanced teaching aids to make learning engaging and accessible for all.

For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many schools in Lucknow adapted to online education seamlessly. This shift not only ensured continuity in learning but also highlighted the city’s ability to innovate and stay ahead of the curve.

Focus on Global Exposure

Lucknow’s schools are no longer limited to traditional educational models. Many institutions have established collaborations with international organizations to provide global exposure to their students. These initiatives include exchange programs, international certifications, and global competitions.

Students in these schools are encouraged to think critically, work collaboratively, and develop skills that prepare them for a competitive world. Such efforts have elevated Lucknow’s reputation as a hub for quality education.

Preserving Heritage While Looking Ahead

Despite these advancements, top schools in Lucknow remain deeply rooted in their cultural heritage. Morning prayers often include traditional hymns, and annual celebrations of festivals like Eid, Holi, and Diwali foster inclusivity and cultural awareness.

This balance of tradition and modernity is what sets Lucknow’s schools apart. They teach students to respect their roots while equipping them with the tools to excel in the future.

Why Choose Schools in Lucknow?

If you’re looking for schools that provide a well-rounded education, Lucknow is the perfect destination. The city’s schools prioritize academic excellence, extracurricular development, and character building. Whether you’re considering schools with a focus on STEM, arts, or sports, Lucknow offers a range of options that cater to every child’s needs.

With state-of-the-art infrastructure and dedicated faculty, the best schools in Lucknow ensure students receive quality education in a nurturing environment.

Conclusion

The journey of schools in Lucknow from traditional gurukuls to modern institutions is a testament to the city’s ability to adapt and innovate.

joined the fire service during early adulthood and excelled up until her first death.

killed in the line of duty while battling a warehouse fire. inexperience led to her missing the signs of an incoming flashover, during which she perished along with the colleague who'd attempted to pull her out.

the loss of her co-worker took interest away from the strange circumstances of her own death and rebirth, and also made national news. the media reaction to the tragedy led to bitterness, the dissolution of dom's engagement, and dom's quitting the service to follow her father to america, where she became a firefighter in new york.

suffers from night terrors and insomnia, leading her to rely on the more magically enhanced section of baked goods procured from the sweetest tooth.

National Sports Day in India is celebrated annually on August 29 to commemorate the birth anniversary of the legendary hockey player, Major Dhyan Chand. Widely regarded as one of the greatest hockey players in the history of the sport, he is often referred to as the "Wizard of Hockey" due to his exceptional skills and ability to control the ball.

Significance of National Sports Day:

Tribute to Major Dhyan Chand: This day serves as a tribute to Major Dhyan Chand, who brought glory to India by leading the Indian hockey team to three consecutive Olympic gold medals in 1928, 1932, and 1936. His remarkable achievements established India as a dominant force in hockey during his era.

The National Sport of India:

Every country typically has a national sport that is held in high regard and symbolizes national pride both domestically and internationally. Many assume cricket or hockey to be India’s national sport, but the reality is that India has not designated any official national sport.

Hockey as the Unofficial National Sport: While hockey has been informally considered India's national sport due to the country's exceptional performance in it, particularly in the early to mid-20th century, it has never been officially declared as such.

India's prowess in hockey is highlighted by:

▪️Winning eight Olympic gold medals.

▪️Producing legendary players like Dhyan Chand, Balbir Singh Sr., and Dhanraj Pillai.

▪️Securing six consecutive Olympic gold medals from 1928 to 1956.

Despite these accomplishments, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has confirmed that no sport has been officially recognized as India’s national sport.

Which is the National Sport of India?

Contrary to popular belief, India does not have an officially designated national sport. While many assume hockey holds this title due to its historical significance and successes, this is not the case.

India’s Hockey Legacy:

The Indian hockey team is the most successful in Olympic history, with a record of eight gold, one silver, and three bronze medals. From 1928 to 1956, India experienced its golden years in hockey, winning six consecutive Olympic golds. The nation has produced legendary players like Dhyan Chand, Balbir Singh Sr., and Dhanraj Pillai. Under Balbir Singh’s leadership, India secured its fifth Olympic gold at the 1952 Helsinki Games.

National Sports Day of India:

On August 29th, India observes National Sports Day to commemorate the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan Chand. The day also honours the nation’s sports heroes and champions, recognizing their contributions and dedication to bringing honour to the country.

Father of Indian Hockey: The three-time Olympic gold medalist Major Dhyan Chand is regarded as the founding father of Indian hockey, and his birthday, August 29, is observed as National Sports Day in India. Hockey has come to be regarded as India’s unofficial national sport due to the successes of Dhyan Chand and other players.

Indian Hockey Team’s Achievements in the Olympics:

India's dominance in hockey, introduced by the British, led to it surpassing many popular sports and becoming the country's most celebrated sport. The Bengal Hockey Association was India’s first hockey association, and today, Hockey India, a part of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, governs all men’s and women’s hockey activities in India. Based in New Delhi, it is a member of the Indian Olympic Association.

The Evolution of Sports in India:

Over the years, India’s sporting landscape has evolved significantly. The Indian government, through the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, has implemented various initiatives to promote sports at the grassroots level. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) plays a crucial role in managing India’s participation in international sporting events, including the Olympics, Asian Games, and Commonwealth Games. The government’s focus has shifted towards a more holistic development of sports, with an emphasis on nurturing young talent.

Initiatives like the Khelo India program aim to identify and support young athletes across various sports disciplines. This approach has resulted in a broader representation of sports in India, moving beyond the traditional dominance of hockey and cricket.

The Importance of a National Game:

While India may not have an official national game, the concept of a national sport holds significant importance for countries worldwide.

A national game can:

▪️Foster national pride and patriotism among citizens.

▪️Attract international attention and generate soft power for the country.

▪️Contribute to the tourism industry and economic growth.

▪️Promote physical fitness, teamwork, and healthy competition.

▪️Preserve traditional sports and pass them down to future generations.

The Future of Indian Sports:

As India continues to make strides in various sports, the question of whether a national game should be declared remains a topic of debate. Some argue that declaring a national game could provide a sense of identity and pride, while others believe it could limit the growth of other sports. For now, the government’s approach of promoting multiple sports appears to be working, with India achieving success in a diverse range of disciplines.

The Indian hockey team’s recent performances, including a bronze medal at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, indicate that the sport still holds a special place in the hearts of Indians. However, the rise of other sports, such as badminton, boxing, and wrestling, showcases the potential of India’s sporting talent on the global stage.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, while hockey has historically been considered the national game of India, the reality is that no sport holds this official title. The government’s decision to focus on promoting all sports equally reflects a commitment to nurturing a diverse sporting culture. For students preparing for government exams, understanding this nuanced approach to sports in India is essential, as it highlights the country’s evolving sports policy and the importance of inclusivity in national development.

Whether or not India ever declares an official national game, the spirit of sportsmanship and the pursuit of excellence in various sports will continue to define the nation’s athletic identity. As India prepares to host and compete in more international events, the world will witness the emergence of new sports icons who will carry forward the legacy of champions like Major Dhyan Chand.

Theme For National Sports Day 2024:

The theme for National Sports Day 2024 is ‘Sport for the Promotion of Peaceful and Inclusive Societies’. This theme highlights how athletics can strengthen social bonds, unite individuals, and empower communities to promote inclusivity and peace.

How is National Sports Day Celebrated?

National Sports Day is celebrated with various competitions, sports events, and activities in schools, colleges, and sports organizations. Events often include marathons, fitness competitions between schools, athlete tribute ceremonies, and fitness challenges. Educational institutions also conduct seminars and workshops to emphasize the importance of sports and fitness.

How Can Individuals Participate on National Sports Day?

On National Sports Day, individuals can participate in physical activities and sports, host or attend neighborhood sporting events, go to workshops and seminars, and use social media to advocate for the advantages of an active lifestyle.

Understanding the Demographics of Hyderabad Newspaper Readers

Understanding the demographics of Hyderabad newspaper readers is crucial for crafting effective Hyderabad newspaper advertisements. Offline advertising agencies leverage demographic insights to tailor ads that resonate with the target audience. Here’s a comprehensive look at the key demographic factors influencing newspaper readership in Hyderabad.

Age Distribution

Hyderabad's newspaper readers span a broad age range, but a significant portion tends to be older adults. Individuals aged 40 and above are more likely to engage with traditional print media. This demographic values the credibility and in-depth coverage that newspapers provide. However, younger readers, including those in their 20s and 30s, are not entirely absent, especially when newspapers offer digital versions or supplement their print editions with engaging content.

Gender Breakdown

Gender distribution among newspaper readers in Hyderabad is relatively balanced. Both men and women consume newspapers, although the type of content they prefer may differ. Men might gravitate towards sections on business, sports, and politics, while women may show more interest in lifestyle, health, and community news. Understanding these preferences helps in designing Hyderabad newspaper advertisements that appeal to specific gender segments.

Educational Background

Newspaper readers in Hyderabad generally have a higher level of education. Many readers are college graduates or have completed higher education. This educated demographic seeks informative and analytical content, valuing newspapers for their thorough reporting and detailed analysis. Advertisements targeting this group should emphasize quality, reliability, and detailed information.

Income Levels

A considerable portion of Hyderabad's newspaper readers falls into the middle to upper-middle income brackets. This demographic is likely to have disposable income and can be responsive to advertisements for a wide range of products and services, from real estate to luxury goods. Hyderabad newspaper advertisements should highlight value propositions and exclusive offers to attract this financially capable audience.

Language Preferences

Hyderabad is a cosmopolitan city with diverse linguistic preferences. While English newspapers have a broad readership, local language newspapers in Telugu and Urdu also enjoy substantial popularity. Advertisers should consider the language preferences of their target audience when designing their campaigns. Utilizing the local language can enhance relatability and engagement among readers.

Geographic Considerations

Newspaper readership in Hyderabad varies across different parts of the city. Urban areas tend to have a higher concentration of readers due to better access to newspapers and a higher density of educated professionals. Rural and suburban areas, although less dense, still represent a significant readership. Offline advertising agencies can provide insights into geographic readership patterns to help place ads strategically.

Reader Interests and Lifestyle

Understanding the interests and lifestyle of Hyderabad’s newspaper readers can significantly enhance ad effectiveness. Popular sections include news, business, sports, entertainment, and lifestyle. Readers interested in these sections are looking for both information and leisure reading. Ads that align with these interests—such as promoting local events, business services, or lifestyle products—can achieve better engagement.

Conclusion

Understanding the demographics of Hyderabad newspaper readers is essential for creating impactful Hyderabad newspaper advertisements. Offline advertising agencies play a vital role in gathering and analyzing these demographic insights. By considering factors such as age, gender, education, income, language, geography, and reader interests, advertisers can design targeted campaigns that resonate with the local audience. This strategic approach ensures that advertisements are not only seen but also acted upon, maximizing the return on investment for businesses.

Ishq, Inshallah

Is Kashmir getting on the South Asia’s music map?

By Faisul Yaseen

Faheem Abdullah and Rauhan Malik’s recent song ‘Ishq’ from ‘Lost; Found’ album has immortalised the work of Amir Ameer, a poet from Rahim Yar Khan, a city in the Punjab province of Pakistan.

It is breaking the internet and becoming a trending meme song. The song is also bringing closer music lovers across India and Pakistan, who are raving about Ameer’s mesmerising poetry and soothing voice of Abdullah and Malik. ‘Ishq’ may not be the best thing to have happened to the Kashmir music industry but it certainly has attracted traction and could play its part in putting Kashmir on South Asia’s music map.

Though boasting of rich musical instrumentals, magical voices, and insightful poetry, Kashmir’s music industry has suffered over the decades due to the Kashmiri language’s limited reach as only 6.8 million people speak Kashmiri. However, the experimentation of composing Urdu songs by young Kashmiri singers like Abdullah and Malik and a crop of new-generation Kashmiri singers is making the canvas bigger for them as Urdu boasts 71.29 million native speakers while the language is also understood by 571.3 million native Hindi speakers.

Like Abdullah and Malik, someone who took this experimentation to new heights in Kashmir was Yawar Abdal, a new-age Kashmiri singer who, in 2017, experimented with his single, ‘Tamana’, a multilingual song in Kashmiri, Urdu, and Persian languages based on the poetry of three legendary poets: Mehjoor (Kashmiri), Mirza Ghalib (Urdu), and Amir Khusru (Persian). The song became an instant hit on the internet. Abdal’s best work to date though might not be ‘Tamama’ but a lesser hit ‘Inshallah’. It is an artistic genius: multilayered and ambiguous and shakes a listener out of placid.

Abdal may not have the best voice among the new-age Kashmiri singers but he is heads and shoulders above others when it comes to crafting his work. Like his unconventional music, the visualisation in his music videos touches raw nerves and asks questions that only great art can.

Canadian pop artist Grimes says, “Only art ever saved me, everything else has betrayed me.” And Abdal’s music and music videos never betray your trust.

Jyotsna Bharti in ‘Mixing Old Melody with New Melancholy: Meet Kashmir’s Fresh Folksingers’ writes, “At a time when youngsters elsewhere are de-rooting themselves and trying westerns, many new-age Kashmiri musicians and singers are popularising their roots. Following the footsteps of their forefathers, they’re finding solace in Rabab, pleasures in poetries and life in mountains…”

These new-age Kashmiri singers like Ali Saifuddin, Mohammad Muneem Nazir, Saim Bhat, Ishfaq Kawa, Rasiq Khan, Waqar Khan, Kabul Bukhari, Arsalan Nizami, Ubair Taj Beigh, Baabarr, Mudacer, Shazia Bashir, Aabha Hanjura, Vibha Saraf, and Rahul Wanchoo wear Kashmir on their sleeves, sport Kashmiri shawls and Pherans, use traditional musical instruments, and shoot music videos in the picturesque locales.

They have taken a leaf out of the book of their ancestors like Raja Begum, Shamima Dev Azad, Ghulam Hassan Sofi, Abdul Rashid Hafiz, Kailash Mehra Sadhu, and Neeraja Pandit and popularised it among the new generations of Kashmir offering them music from their roots and educating them that Kashmiri music might be as rich as the Bollywood and western music and much like the Punjabi music could carve out an identity of its own.

Kashmiri music represents its rich melodic heritage. It has played a significant role in shaping and expressing its cultural identity. Kashmiri music has served as a powerful tool to preserve Kashmiri traditions, values, and stories.

Kalhana in his magnum opus ‘Rajatarangini’ wrote in the 12th Century CE that Kashmiri musical instruments have extremely aged roots. A 4th-century CE tile found during excavation from Harwan shows the impression of a female musician playing a drum. The other person is shown playing a veena. King Bhiksacara (1120-21 CE), who himself played these instruments was fond of ‘Chhakri’ (folk choral singing) which continues to be popular in Kashmir.

According to Kalhana, folk musical instruments like earthen pots and brass vessels were used by Kashmiri people from very early times. Prominent musical instruments played in Kashmir include Surnai, Santoor, Saitar, Nai, Tumbaknari, Noot, and Rabab.

Tumkanari (goblet drum) is usually used by womenfolk on occasions like engagement and marriage functions. In Central Asia Tumkanari called Tumbakh or Tunbak is now made of wood while Kashmir maintains its originality and the musical instrument is still made of baked clay. Similarly, the use of Noet (earthen pot) in Kashmiri music is mentioned in Nilmata Purana as well as Kalhana’s Rajtarangini.

Kashmiri music also has influences from the Central Asian music.

“We even borrowed their music and instruments,” historian Prof Fida Muhammad Hassnain wrote in ‘Common Cultural Links between Kashmir and Central Asia’.

According to B C Deva, the string instruments, Rabab and Sarangi, came to Kashmir with the influence of Muslims.

While some historians state that the most popular instrument used in folk music in Kashmir is the Rabab borrowed from Persia, others suggest it was adopted from Afghanistan centuries ago and has been an integral part of Kashmiri music culture ever since.

These musical instruments have also played a key role in the evolution of Kashmiri Sufiana music.

The instruments used by the Sufiana musicians are quite different from those used in Indian classical music and Kashmiri folk music. The prominent instruments include Santoor, Kashmiri Saitar, Saaz-e-Kashmir, and Tabla.

Shabir Ahmad Mir in his paper ‘Mystical Music: Safeguarding Sufiana Mausiqi – a Vanishing Art Form of Kashmir’ for the International Journal of Intangible Heritage writes, “Sufiana mausiqi (music) continued to flourish during the reign of Sultan Yusuf Shah Chak (1579-1586). His queen, Habba Khatun, is often credited with introducing a maqam ‘Rast-Kashmiri’ by making a little structural variation on maqam Rast-Farsi. Chak and his queen were great patrons of music as well as musicians themselves, and they devoted their time to embellishing Kashmiri classical music. Rast-Kashmiri still forms the most popular maqam of the Sufiana repertory.”

In Kashmir, marriage and engagement functions, Eid festivals, Radio Kashmir Srinagar, and Doordarshan Kendra Srinagar played a key role in keeping the Kashmiri music alive.

Music often has a massive cultural impact as is illustrated by the influence of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Beatles is considered as the most influential band in the history of popular music and for defining the countercultural movement of the 1960s. Similarly, The Rolling Stones, considered one of the greatest Rock n Roll bands of all time with their raw energy and rebellious image defined the cultural landscape of the 1960s and beyond.

Abdullah, Malik, and Abdal may just have begun their musical journeys but the route they are taking to their stardom might shape Kashmir’s musical heritage for future generations. Who knows next ‘Coke Studio’ shift in South Asia could come from the Valley! Ishq and Inshallah might be the shape of things to come from Kashmir.

Greater Kashmir
