بہت عمدہ سر جی۔
میں پچھلے سال ان تمام علاقوں سے ہو کر آیا ہوں۔ تاؤ بٹ تک گیا تھا۔ آپ نے یہاں شاردہ کا ذکر نہیں کیا۔ وہ بھی اس علاقے کا خوبصورت مقام ہے جہاں بدھ مت کی بہت قدیم یونیورسٹی کے آثار ہیں۔ ہم نے شاردہ میں ایک رات کا قیام بھی کیا تھا ڈسٹرکٹ گورنمنٹ کے ریسٹ ہاؤس میں۔
سارا علاقہ ہی جنت نظیر ہے لیکن سفر بہت زیادہ ہے۔ خیر کچھ پانے کیلئے کچھ کھونا تو پڑتا ہے۔ |

:::Sharda History::
Sharda was a place of great learning for centuries. A great seat of learning was started during the Buddhist rule and continued through Hindu and Muslim rule. It went into decline during the Dogra rule and subsequent period. The temple is said to be Sharda Devi, a Hindu goddess revered especially by the Kashmir Pandit community.
The Sharda temple has a special significance in the evolution of the Kashmiri Pandits as an intellectual identity.It is the ancient site of learning in the subcontinent.The script of Kashmiri language is also called Sharda and the script has been named in the honour of the Presiding deity of the temple i.e the Goddess Sharda- the Goddess of learning.Even to this day the Saraswat Brahmins who migrated to the other parts of India due to the successive intrusions and invasions of the religious zealots from Kashmir make their prayers, while the yagnopavit ceremony(putting on the sacred thread) by chanting the sloka-Namastey Sharda Devi Kashmirpura Vasani (salutations to the goddess Sharda who has her abode in Kashmir).
Kashmir’s association with Hinduism is very old. The very name Kashmir derived from Kashyapa, one of the seven Rishis in Hindu mythology. Kashmiri Pandit are an ancient people and are often mentioned to to be the purest of Aryans. All evidence points that this Race had its origin from the Vale of Kashmir and its neighbourhood. Moreover, many ancient epics refer to Kashmiri Brahmins as people of great learning.
Kashmiri Pandits have made significant contributions to thought and science. Abhinavagupta, Kalhana have been stalwarts in the fields of, philosophy and history respectively. Kashmir figures prominently in Sanskrit poet Kalidasa’s compositions. The birth place of Charaka one of the founders of ayurveda and Indian medice in general is also considered to be in Kashmir. Many Sanskritic scholars and poets (i.e. Bilhana, Mahimbhatta, Ksemraja, Vasugupta, Anandvardhana, Ksemendra) were Kashmiris.
During the period of Islamic rule of the Kashmir valley, hundreds of Hindu and buddhist temples in Kashmir were destroyed.9 As a result, Kashmiri Pandits gradually migrated to other parts of India to escape persecution. Many Kashmiri pandits and buddhist were forcefully converted which in time resulted in Kashmir becoming predominantly Muslim. The devastation wrought by the Turkish general from Turkmenistan Zulju in 1320, during his conquest of many regions of Kashmir Valley was especially noteworthy.
Sultan Sikandar Butshikan (1389-1413), the seventh Muslim ruler in Kashmir, is known for his oppression of non-Muslim populations, which caused many Kashmiri Pandits to leave the Kashmir valley.[1] Historians call him an idol-breaker (or iconoclast) and he is said to have killed several thousand Kashmiri Pandits and/or forced them to convert to Islam or flee.[2] Sultan Ali Shah and others followed suit.[3] There have been a few Muslim rulers who were tolerant towards the Pandits, however they were not able to ultimately alleviate the plight of the Pandits. This can be ascertained from the fact that the Pandits never rose to their pre-Islamic glory and that their population in the valley continued to decrease over time. From the 14th century due to the growth of Islam their numbers in the valley began to diminish and the Muslims by spreading Islam began to outnumber them.

Great pakistan, I Love Neelum Valley. Went upto Kail.... Lived ther for almost 6 months back in 2001...
One thing you mentioned that Jagran Project is 500MW.... is wrong it is actually 30 or 33MW and as I remember........ besides that kudal shahi plant is 2MW..... and future project will also not axceed 50MW in my view since water there will not support such bigger project..........
I like udankail............... but I never went there...... actually I saw it from the top of the mountain on the other side of shounter (Btw shounter and nereel) it was such a seen that still I see it in front of my eyes even after 10 years...........
