Skiing in Kashmir | 101 East Documentary
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 09. 2024
- Nestled against the backdrop of one of the world’s most notorious conflict zones are the pristine snow-capped peaks of Gulmarg.
Despite being a few kilometres from the Line of Control dividing India and Pakistan, it has long attracted adventure-seeking skiers from the West.
Now it has become a winter escape for Kashmiris too, a respite from the tension they live with every day.
101 East visits Indian-administered Kashmir and meets the Kashmiris conquering the slopes of their homeland through a burgeoning ski industry.
Switzerland is called Kashmir of Europe 😍🔥

This Modi Govt. is majorly focussed on developing Kashmir while creating more & diverse jobs for the youngsters of Kashmir.
Huge funds r being spend to develop infrastructure & make Kashmir more Tourist friendly, so that more & more Tourist visit Kashmir, thus helping locals to earn an handsome income.
Kudos to Modi ji & I hope Yogi ji will carry forward this era of development & Pride.

No not at all.. who told you that?
As a resident I don't need anyone else to tell me, I can see it myself
Thanks for promoting our tourism in kashmir. Gulmarg has witnessed really impressive number of tourists from whole country. Hope to see more better colleges for education and sports infrastructure for sports lovers like her.
Please dont come we dont need garbage in Kashmir we are fine with Local amd Int tourist but no Indians

So glad kashmir is in right hand now. The other side of occupied kashmiri will look at srinagar with envy that kashmir is changing. The massive development and thriving tourism. God bless mera kashmir.

I went to learn Skiing in Gulmarg this year and it was a breathtaking experience. The locals are supportive and understand the kind of economic growth skiing and snowboarding can bring to the area. The tourism department on the other hand needs to improve the local infrastructure and support the locals in order for the area to be able to maximize its potential. Hopefully, with prolonged stability in the region and with extensive government support, Gulmarg can very well become one of the best ski towns in the world.
But do the people support the govt there
@@tired.....247 I wasn't really there for very long time to have an opinion on this. On the surface they certainly seemed to be alright with the government if they could achieve economic prosperity. The economy of the entire area is completely dependent on tourism and hence they wanted the government to help them with the same. The government is doing a little here and there, but because of stability issues, environmental factors and a few others, there hasn't been any big investment for a long time in that area.
I fills my heart to see kashmir thriving. I hope all elements that matter in kashmir realise this place a paradise truly . I hope and know Indian government will realise many talented kashmiris dream . End to violence.

Don't take Modi's name here again, he has finished everything in Kashmir, all the developments that have taken place in Gulmarg have happened before Modi,
He is the biggest criminal who gave poverty to Kashmir
@@lonenasir2211 you deserve this😍👍
Please don’t talk about something you don’t know about. Modi literally sold every inch of Gulmarg to reliance group. All the shops and hotels in Gulmarg are on lease and not owned by locals. The only reason Gulmarg is seeing boom in tourism is bcz of Covid otherwise people of India think of Kashmir and Kashmiri’s as goons.

I Went to Kashmir during the month of January this year. Enjoyed very much ❤ What a fantastic place. Heaven on Earth.😍😍
That was the most exciting and heartwarming documentary I've seen in a long time. I was a ski patroller for several years, and that looks like a cool place.
it looks like Aljazeera had a Software Update from Indian Government.

Finally, an unbiased story from Al Jazeera.
It's always unbiased. It's true that Indian occupied Kashmir is the most millitarized zone in the world. Also the most oppressed.

But i have not seem anyone from azad kashmir speaking kashmiri 🤔
They mainly speak pahari or some dialect of punjabi.
90% ethnic Kashmiris live in Indian Kashmir. Pakistan's occupied Kashmir is filled with Pashtuns, Punjabis and other ethnic groups who were never part of that region. And very very less actual native Kashmiris live there. They have completely changed the demographics of that region.
@@bharat7188 Didn't they use to have population similar to Ladakh but those people disappeared also. The Kalash people have also gone down greatly in population.

I Myself visited Kashmir and believe me its "heaven on earth" , But to make "heaven for tourists" is bit challenging , it is the soul job/Responsibility of our local Kashmiri brothers and sisters to make Kashmir a thriving place as earlier , as down there in valley our Indian army is patrolling day and night to maintain peace , tranquility in the valley
India is best country who have everything snow mountain , desert , ocean area , forest area
First Clean holy ganga... Don't claim kashmir as India's part....
I love my Kashmir 😍😍😍
When will people realize, religion brings conflict and prosperity brings peace. Develop this place, create jobs, improve peoples lives and peace will arrive.
SABKA SAATH SABKA VIKASH..JAI HIND..JAI HO🚩🇮🇳🐅⚔💪😍🙏🙏
Article 370 35A was revoked in kashmir in 2019.
Idk what politics it would do,
But i am happy that people of kashmir are doing better and are better connected and are getting representation in their home and in India and in world.
That's something i can appreciate.
If there's a heaven on earth, it's here, it's here, it's here.
Love from Rajasthan, India.
Kashmir and the Kashmiri People ❣❣
Love you bro @Reza alee you are motivation for youth of kashmir.Keep going
How wonderful and inspirational Best of luck young lady
I've been to this mountain 😍 Gulmarg omg.. I have chills!
I love my Kashmir 🌲❤️... from Anantnag south Kashmir....... Gulmarg has the potential to host Winter Olympic games unlike Beijing 2022 winter Olympics which used fake snow
Those are some mighty mountains indeed in the background. Hope to try the slopes sometime soon.
Please keep in mind.. What it actually takes to keep peace and tranquility in Kashmir.. Tourism, skiing, fun and money comes later.. Sacrifices of the Indian Army and detention of Kashmiri politicians is the main reason for all this calm. Jai Hind.
God Bless all of them, the love of skiing and snowboarding has become the life of this mountaineer. The precious and heart-warming documentary might be as well as the Kashmiri's tourism to take the most of glorious times in the future. God's will
Kashmir is just love😍❤️
Kashmir skiing is truly wonderful. It should be developed further with more official trails and infrastructure . Govt funding would be a good boost and would fall in line with its agenda of making India a tourism destination. Hopefully a skiing mecca one day 🙏🏽

Thanks Aljajera for showing true Kashmir.
Kasmiris in POK should see that how and where Jammu and Kashmir has reached in terms of development and good infrastructure.
It’ll be an eye opener for them that staying with a bankrupt nation isn’t goona help budgets to divert from islamabad to mujafrabad.

@@iameshfaq so you are saying Kashmir should be independent .I hope you get freedom .But what my personal opinion is that Kashmiri people want freedom on the basis of religion just like pakistan did in 1947 then kashmir is going to be another failed state just like pakistan as I don't think a small landlocked country without natural resources and good infrastructure can prosper in long term and i don't think ladakh and Jammu will join you as they are Buddhist and Hindu majority so what remains is kashmir valley and other one is Pakistan occupied Azad Kashmir and gilgit baltistan which I don't think will make a country which can sustain itself . Good luck to you 👍👍
Great stories......and brilliantly filmed.
I like policy modi ji kashmir
My impression for skiers that they’re liberated, energetic, advanced, modern people.
You should aslo cover Pakistan illegal occupied Kashmir..... We want to know POK progress
There are no infrastructure there hence they migrated to Uk.
PoK is much more free and happier than Iok. Illegal occupation is done by indians. lol, Your army literally does atriocities there. Kahmiris all over slander Indian occupation.

Please translate more accurately. When the man says 'InshaAllah', this means 'God Willing'. When the young lady says 'assalamu'alaikum', this means 'peace be upon you' and is a common greeting amongst the Kashmiris. If you leave these out from the translation, you are stripping the individuals from their religious identity. This is essential to telling the story of the Kashmiri people. It is essential for our narrative which is constantly being attacked and remains threatened by external forces (Indian occupation and Hindutva extremists who desire to change Kashmir's Muslim majority demographic).
Mam or sir...Indian occupation???!!!!...you and Kashmir are the integral part of India....so please don't separate yourself from us the rest of India....❤️❤️❤️
@@babubabe8294 We are not part of India and we will continue to resist any attempt to make it so. We have our own values and culture separate to that of India. India has forcibly imposed its occupation and control of Kashmir, but this is against what the Kashmiri people desire. India is carrying out the war crimes including killing of over 96,000 Kashmiris since the 90s. To this day, Indian occupation forces are carrying out extrajudicial killings, kidnappings and rape of innocent Kashmiris who protest the occupation. Even before India was founded, Kashmir has always been an autonomous self-governing state. We want freedom and independence to be our own country. We will have good relations with India if they end the occupation and leave Kashmir. We want peace, but there is no peace without justice. Free Kashmir is our slogan, till Kashmir is free. Please understand this. 🌹
dont forget kashmir was a hindu majority before hindus were killed and convered. it also became muslim majority because many people from pakistan came in indian kashmir due to open border
The Best of Kashmir 🔥❤️

It was my dream to go skiing in Kashmir during the early 1980's. Unfortunatly there were problems there and in Afghanistan as well so Nepal ended up being the traveling destination. The mountains and snow look amazing. Alas air travel is something I will no longer participate in due to global warming so skiing in Kashmir will remail a dream.

Right
I think Pakistan shouldn't forget that the land they call their own is actually India's and they themselves are Indians having Hindu ancestry. These Kashmiris (on both sides) who proudly profess Islam should acknowledge this history and accept the truth. Until this happens, there can never be long lasting peace.
Hindu ancestry doesn't make people become India. How many Hindu ancestry will you claim?
@@__Man__ I am specifically talking about Pakistan here.
@@SOUVIK_RAY_ not all Pakistani have Hindu ancestor, half Zoroastrian, half Hindu, half traditional paganism, the people in Punjab and Sindh mostly have Hindu ancestor, people in KPK and Balochistan mostly have Zoroastrian ancestor, people in Northern areas mostly have traditional paganism ancestor, not all are Hindu, Pakistan is the melting pot of many different culture. This is the Indian misconception about Pakistan, they think that the whole Pakistan were Hindu just because Pakistan is dominated by the Punjabis
@@__Man__ What do you mean? Dude whole of Pakistan including Afghanistan belonged to ancient India. Hindusim is older than any religion you know and it extended till present day Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia etc. Even the rituals and language of zoroastrians have similarity with Hindu culture. In short Pakistanis are descendants of Hindus. You should look at history as a whole and not as particular fragments.
@@SOUVIK_RAY_ lol, history is limited to every ethnicity. Every cultural cluster in Pakistan have different history, you can claim Afghanistan as Hindu because of Gandhari Hindkos, not the Pashtun themselves, the Pashtuns were Zoroastrian, in fact Zoroastrianism was born in Balkh, Afghanistan. Afghani and Pakistani ethnicities love to see in their ethnic perspective, not like Indians who nationalists are unionists and irredentists
