EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Fayaz Kabli, we are transported to the serene waters of Dal Lake in Srinagar, the summer capital of troubled Jammu and Kashmir. The image showcases a group of Kashmiri Muslims gracefully rowing their boat amidst the picturesque surroundings. The tranquility portrayed in this scene contrasts with the political tensions that have long plagued the region. It was taken on December 18,2003, during a time when Pakistan made an unexpected gesture towards peace by offering to abandon its demand for a U. N. -mandated plebiscite over divided Kashmir. This move aimed to meet India "halfway" and foster harmony on the subcontinent. Kabli's lens beautifully captures not only the physical beauty of Dal Lake but also symbolizes hope for a peaceful resolution in this conflict-ridden area. The reflection of vibrant houseboats and snow-capped mountains on the calm water surface adds depth to this poignant composition. This striking photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst turmoil, life goes on. The resilience and determination displayed by these Kashmiri Muslims rowing their boat reflect their unwavering spirit despite living in such challenging circumstances. As viewers immerse themselves in this visually stunning image, they cannot help but ponder upon the possibilities that lie ahead for Jammu and Kashmir - perhaps one day achieving lasting peace where all communities can thrive harmoniously together.
