My Name is Kashmir...

My name is Kashmir 
My name is not India 
My name is not Pakistan too
My name is Kashmir 
and my name is Maqbool Butt
My name is Afzal Guru 
My name is Syed Abdul Rahman Geelani
My name is Burhan Muzaffar Wani
My name is Parveena Ahangar
and many mothers like her
I have many other names whose names
I don't know; they are known as the “disappeared”
My name is Kashmir 
My name is the names of women who were raped at Kunan Poshpora
and my name is the name of unknown graves. 
My name is the name of thousands of youth who were killed
and no one knows where their dead bodies are 
My name is Kashmir
My name is not India
My name is not Pakistan too.
