Kashmir is intergral part of Hindu spirituality culture, thousands of years and India. It worth it to visit Kashmir.

Situation on the ground is the same. Many anti national jihadis are being appeased by Modi govt through Lt Governor. Muftis and Abdullas who destroyed Kashmir and are responsible for multiple scams like Roshni act haven't been touched. Jammu has been completely neglected by Modi govt and there is a lot of anger there against Modi govt. BJP will struggle to retain Jammu and Udhampur Lok Sabha seats next year.
Very happy to see this video and the increasing number of tourists . I visited this year in April for the first time. Very happy for the people of Kashmir.
North Eastern states are amazingly beautiful and unexplored. Indians must go there and help locals there.

I hope the Kashmiris of India now realise that Article 370 was nothing but a barrier for their progress. More tourist footfall means more business for locals. The contrast between the past and the present is evident from the numbers. I just hope people of Kashmir can now lead a peaceful and prosperous life
I am happy for the Kashmir people to live a normal life and earn money with tourism.
WOW. This is encouraging and motivating to see happiness and satisfaction on the faces of the Kashmiris. Kudos 👏 to the Indian Government for showing grit in implementing tough policies like abrogation of 370. Love you NaMo

Job creation, old era of house boats , vibrancy of the society with income generation another aspects.
Yet many foreigners who visit India are bohemian mavericks so they only visit Paharganj, Taj Mahal and Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi. Then they would prefer to take a khataara bus to Kathmandu and visit slums and guzri bazaars there.
I sincerely hope Kashmir prospers and completely rejects any attempts from Pak to stir trouble in the future.

Hmmm. We don't have numbers for 2022 yet, so assuming we get them in 2024, then we should get 2023 numbers by 2025. For sure we will know by then if records were broken. 2020 was the start of corona, so 18 million is pretty good, and 2022 should have been better at approximately 18.8million, and 2023 should be better as corona is finished for the full year. Not sure if G20 made a difference as it will take a couple of years to be sure. Good for the people of j&k who have suffered a lot these past 10 years
Assuming a tourist spends average Rs. 5000 in Kashmir, the business works out to 2x5000, i.e. Rupees 10,000 crores. That is a big boost to the employment in Kashmir.
1 crore is 10mil. 1.27 crore is 12.7mil
Jai Hind Vande Mataram. All good is happening only because of Shree Narendramodiji. He is our nation's pride.
If BJP and Modi ji is not power we can't even think of this achievement in Kashmir. Kashmiris should think about this and should give full support to BJP in upcoming election

There are just so many vlogs by locals themselves. Go watch with your own eyes but I think people are divided and have different opinions regarding independence or India as much as I observed.
Any excess is bad. Previously it was difficult but too many tourists create other problems unless there are facilities. Surely there are not. Manage tourism. Just because many are dependent on it does not make it attractive and safe. Natural beauty of Kashmir must not be spoiled by excess tourism.
modi ji han to mumkin hai!!! congratulations to people of Kashmir, well done. now with increase of tourists we have to consider environmental damage too, recycling of more garbage produced, plastics, waste water treatment and pollution etc. which is very important to maintain Kashmir as it is. my 10 cents worth opinion.🙂🙂🙂🙂🤔🤔🤔🤔
1:38 The boat said it all "New Good Luck" for Kashmir and for India. Congratulations to everyone. It's amazing to see Indian Administered part of Kashmir doing so well. Meanwhile the Pakistani occupied side is rotting.
RIP Momin Logic.
Am I missing something? Why no positive feedback from any Indian Muslims for this content? Or are they afraid to talk? Anyway removing the special status has done real wonders, I suppose. But the harsh truth is for an ordinary Muslim blinded by faith, all these things don't matter much.

The idea of flooding Kashmir with tourists was the brainchild of Modi, to avoid the POK nonsense that was going on with Pakistan claiming parts of Kashmir territory. It was a bright idea and is working very well.
