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.

Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue:LG calls for strengthening Indias soft power, cultural diplomacy
J&Ks heritage guiding light for Viksit Bharat; let us lead with confidence, compassion Srinagar, Jun 20: Our goal is to revive India's great inheritances of knowledge and spirituality, strengthen civilisational traditions, and shape a future-oriented education that connects youth to both the past and modern technology, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Saturday. He said that good governance promotes culturaldialogue and together they shapethe moral, cultural, and human character of asociety, and formulateinclusive policies. Together, the scholars of Jammu Kashmir and Nalanda shaped one of the world's oldest living civilisations. This heritage is our guiding light. The SrinagarNalanda Dialogue is our opportunity to carry that light forward with wisdom, courage, and a new vision for Viksit Bharat, the LG said while delivering the keynote address at the Srinagar-Nalanda Dialogue, organised by the Ministry of Tourism, Department of Culture, J&K, Indira Gandhi National Centre for Arts (IGNCA), National School of Drama, and Nava Nalanda Mahavihara University. The Lieutenant Governor called for strengthening India's soft power andpromotion ofcultural diplomacy, stating that centuries ago, India's knowledge unified the globe, and today India can be the bridge the world needs. The world is watching. Let us lead with confidence and compassion, he said. Sinha said that youth have inherited a rich legacy of languages, beliefs, artistic traditions, philosophical schools, and varied ways of life, and that this diversity is our greatest strength. From Bihar to Jammu Kashmir, from the temples of Tamil Nadu to the monasteries of Ladakh, from the ghats of Kashi to the valleys of Kashmir, each region preserves its distinct cultural identity and rhythm of life. Our shared aim should be to weave these diversities into a harmonious unity that enriches the nation's collective consciousness, he said. He observed that Indian civilisation has always been defined by its centres of knowledge, with Nalanda, Takshashila, and Vikramashila serving as hubs of global intellectual exchange, attracting travellers from China, Korea, Java, Persia, and West Asia. Nalanda is a living intellectual cosmos of its time. Likewise, Jammu Kashmir was the unique Sharda Peeth of learning, drawing people from afar for instruction across disciplines from mathematics to music, he said. The LG noted that the host city, Srinagar, was established by Emperor Ashoka, and the dialogue reminds us that the moment has come to renew this tradition as a modern, relevant intellectual project. Ancient towns are living learning centres and cities such as Nalanda, Srinagar, Jammu, Purmandal, Varanasi, Hampi, Sanchi, Madurai, Puri, and Thanjavur carry centuries of experience and knowledge. We must strengthen the role of these towns through infrastructure development, heritage conservation, and platforms like the SrinagarNalanda Dialogue for cultural exchange, the Lieutenant Governor added. The event was attended by Padma Shri Prof Shafi Shauq, Ministry of Tourism Director General Suman Billa, Nava Nalanda Mahavihara University Vice Chancellor Prof. Siddharth Singh, National School of Drama Director Chittaranjan Tripathy, Festival Chairperson D Aaliya, Festival Director Ganga Kumar, Vice Chancellors of Central University of Kashmir and University of Kashmir, SSP Srinagar Dr. G.V.
