Good research work and well presented. The best documentary, I have ever seen on Kashmir. Also felt good, when I saw my grandfather Late. Harbans Singh Azad in this documentary, who was ex-minister, speaker of J&K and one of the member of drafting committee of J&K constitution. The facts presented are correct as I have known this from my family. Also there was a lot of new facts, which was learning for me as well. Hats off to those guys, who were behind this documentary.

Really loved the presentation of the history of Kashmir. It was not biased at all and the timelines at the end of each episode was really helpful for knowing about the incidents that took place in Kashmit

As the myth goes, it was a lake. Kashyap Rishi drained it and let the water flow out at Baramulla, (or Varahamula, a varaha (boar) and mul (root).. The paradise land that emerged was named after Kashyap Rishi as Kashyapmar.. or also, in Sanskrit - the desiccated land as water has been drained our.. Ka = water and shimeera = desiccate This is the story of its birth till now.

If you are trying to find an unbiased documentary on Kashmir issue, this is the one you should go with.

Mostly a well made documentary but they have left out some very important episodes in history. Essentially projecting the maharaja as more of a villain and the Abdullahs as more benign than they actually were. The maharajah and Nehru were not on good terms and Nehru and Abdullah were in spite of Abdullah's plans to keep kashmir in a state of conflict forever by keeping the more radical local Muslims happy by hanging the proverbial anti Hindu carrot over their head much to their loss economically and socially. Also passing unequal policies but accepting unreasonable Indian aid for the state,thus playing both sides.( Nehru was never known to be a good judge of character). The British were not far behind in creating mischief with Brown and his Muslim officers along with infiltrators massacring the maharajah's soldiers posted in Gilgit. That's when ,left with no choice,he decided to go to India for help and signed the accession which was completely legitimate,whether one likes it or not. Nehru's blunder was going to the UN prematurely in spite of Sardar Patel's objection who was handling the princely states at the time. Possibly on Abdullah's advice which would have served his interests very well as he knew the conditions would never be fulfilled. Also the interrelations between Junagadh,Hyderabad and Kashmir are not explored well as all three were connected in negotiations of annexation and as Sardar Patel's correspondence shows would have led to a definitive resolution on the Kashmir issue if UN was not part of the picture.

It is however a good starting point and one of the more balanced ones on the state.

Eye opener reality. Must watch movie. It is a slap on farzi secularism and also librandu. This is a must watch movie based on Kashmiri Pandit exodus.so I would request and recommend everyone to watch this.

Completely glosses over the root cause of the unrest in the region- the Indian states denial by force of the Kashmiris right to self determination as well as the ongoing campaign of human rights abuses and terrorising of the population by the Indian military.
