World Music Day:One Day Kashmiri Music Will Match Punjabi Industry says Singer Waqar Khan
Srinagar, June 21: On the occasion of World Music Day, popular Kashmiri singer Waqar Khan expressed the growing recognition of Kashmiri music and language on national platforms, expressing optimism about the future of the valleys music industry. Speaking about the evolving music landscape, Waqar said that Kashmiri language and songs have increasingly found space in Bollywood in recent years, contributing to efforts aimed at preserving and promoting the regions rich cultural heritage. He pointed to the success of Kashmiri singer Faheem Abdullah in Bollywood as a positive sign for the industry. Work is being done to keep the Kashmiri language alive and restore its prominence. Artists like Faheem Abdullah are making a mark in Bollywood, which is encouraging for all of us. We are hopeful that one day the Kashmiri music industry will flourish in the same way as the Punjabi music industry, he told Rising Kashmir. Recalling his musical journey, Waqar said his passion for singing began during his school days when teachers recognized his talent. What started as appreciation from my teachers gradually became a hobby, then a passion, and eventually a profession, he said. Addressing comparisons with legendary Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Waqar humbly rejected the title often given to him by admirers. I can never compare myself to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. He was a legend and no one can match his stature. Perhaps people call me Junior NFAK because I have recomposed some of his songs. Like millions of others, I have followed and admired him throughout my life, he said. He added that Nusrats timeless music continues to inspire generations across the world. His work was exceptional, which is why people still love and listen to him. I am focused on improving myself every day and growing as an artist, he said. Waqar also spoke about the difficult decision of leaving his government job to pursue a full-time career in music. It was a tough decision, but I believed in my passion and wanted to dedicate myself completely to music, he said. Discussing the challenges faced by independent artists, Waqar noted that social media platforms have transformed the music industry and opened new opportunities for emerging singers. In the past, artists had to travel to Mumbai and meet producers and directors to get a chance. Today, platforms like YouTube and other social media channels allow artists to showcase their work to audiences across the globe. However, one must also understand how to effectively promote content online, he said. While acknowledging the growing popularity of Kashmiri music, Waqar said the valley still lacks large-scale musical events. Very few concerts are organised here, while private events are more common. I hope we will see more concerts and music festivals in the coming years, said Waqar who hails from Kupwara's Karnah tehsil. The singer also stressed the need to identify and promote talented writers and literary figures in Kashmir, saying the region possesses immense creative potential that deserves wider recognition. Apart from music, Waqar has also entered politics and is associated with the National Conference. Explaining his decision, he said his primary objective is to serve people and address local issues. I joined politics because I wanted to help the people of my area. I believe the party stands with the people of Kashmir and works for their welfare, he said. Commenting on Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, Waqar said the Chief Minister is making sincere efforts to address public concerns. He is working hard to resolve the issues faced by the people to the best of his ability, he said. Sharing his political aspirations, Waqar said he hopes to act as a bridge between the people and the administration. My goal is always to help people and connect them with those who can solve their problems, he said. Describing himself in simple terms, Waqar concluded: I am a common man and a singer.

T20 World Cup: India bowling coach Aavishkar Salvi paid glowing tribute to captain Harmanpreet Kaur on the eve of her historic 200th T20 International, describing her as 'a role model for almost all cricketers globally' and praising the veteran's work ethic, leadership and influence on the next generation ahead of India's ICC Women's T20 World Cup clash against South Africa at Old Trafford on Sunday. Harmanpreet is set to become the first cricketer to feature in 200 women's or men's T20 Internationals when she leads India in a crucial Group A encounter. The landmark comes at the same venue where she made her T20I debut 17 years ago, with India also chasing a third consecutive victory in the tournament to move closer to a place in the semifinals. Speaking before the match, Salvi said Harmanpreet's stature has been built not only on performances but also on the example she has set throughout her career. She's a role model for almost all cricketers globally. I think Harman is a top-level athlete. The way she has conducted herself over the years, she's been a role model throughout, Salvi told reporters ahead of the game. The India bowling coach also highlighted the skipper's commitment to continuous improvement and her willingness to guide younger members of the squad. She's been a performer in any format. Work ethics-wise, she keeps on working on the basics. She shares a lot of experience with the youngsters. So that also is a dimension where she comes in, he added. While Harmanpreet's personal milestone will be one of the talking points of Sunday's contest, India are equally focused on strengthening their position in Group A. A victory over South Africa would keep them unbeaten in the tournament and edge them closer to the knockout stage. India also enter the fixture carrying lessons from their 4-1 bilateral T20I series defeat in South Africa earlier this year, which Salvi believes helped the squad address several shortcomings. Those five games that we played in South Africa taught us a lot. Especially when you lose the series, you tend to reflect a lot into it and find out the grey areas where we needed to work on. I think as a bowling unit, as an entire group, they discussed a lot of stuff amongst themselves, with us, and they have come up with the conclusions that where we went wrong, and we have addressed that into the camps and matches, Salvi mentioned. Harmanpreet's impact was acknowledged from the opposition camp as well. South Africas Chloe Tryon, who has shared the dressing room with the India captain at Mumbai Indians in the Women's Premier League, said watching Harmanpreet's career unfold had been inspiring. It's been remarkable to watch her journey, when I was a small girl as well, just looking up to big players, Ive had the opportunity to play alongside her, watch her do her thing. She's been a role model for so many people around the world, the all-rounder said. Tryon also credited the India skipper for helping elevate the women's game through her longevity and leadership. It's been remarkable to watch her journey, when I was a small girl as well, just looking up to big players, Ive had the opportunity to play alongside her, watch her do her thing.
