Kashmir is an Indian name. Its name is derived from the Nilata Purana (An ancient Indian text) which describes the valley's origin which describes the Kashmir's valley's origin as a land that was obtained from water. 'Ka' literally means water and 'shimir' is translated as 'desiccated water'. Therefore Kashmir literally means 'a land that has been desiccated by water'.

Kashmir is a scenic portion of the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. Its natural beauty and its abundance of splendid flora and fauna make it one of the most beautiful destinations of the world.

Kashmir is no stranger to controversy and is constantly in the news for the wrong reasons. It is divided between India and its neighbour Pakistan and has often been a bone of contention between these two Asian nations.
