[Reader-list] aids for Kashmiris/non kashmiris .......well done Mr. Nazir Josh

[Lalit Ambardar]

That was interesting .What all one could make out from the recording - a commendable performance by Mr. Nazir Josh. 
 
We have had a very rich tradition of satire & humour in Kashmir. Veteran Late Mr.Pushkar Bhan actually brought humour in to the day to day lives of Kashmiri masses through his satire on relevant social issues & on the issues of governance. His Radio features ‘Machama’ as well as the series ‘Zuna Dab’ used to be immensely popular. 
 
Alas, past two decades of pan Islamism inspired violence has among other things also cast a shadow on the cultural & art activities of Kashmiris in general.
 Mr. Nazir Josh is doing a great job in trying to keep humour alive even under the prevailing uncertain times.  
Regards all
