Abstract

Kashmir popularly known as heaven on earth is famous for its natural beauty worldwide. The valley of Kashmir, often referred to as the “Switzerland of Asia,” is renowned for its natural beauty, and the beautiful waterfalls contribute to the region’s allure. The waterfalls have been popular tourist attractions, offering both natural beauty and opportunities for outdoor recreation. In this paper, we discusses the well-known waterfalls of Kashmir valley from a historical perspective, examining their role in tourism and their impact on the landscape development. The waterfalls in Kashmir valley usually are found mostly in higher elevations and rugged terrains,requiring construction of footpaths, narrow roads and passes to make them accessible to tourists. The survey of waterfalls revealed that tourists enjoy the visit to waterfalls but recent developments, such as power generation projects and a growing influx of visitors compromises the aesthetic value of waterfalls. It was concluded that for sustainable development, it is crucial for the government and all stakeholders to prioritize environmental protection when undertaking development projects. Balancing tourism infrastructure with ecological preservation is critical to maintain the natural beauty of these sites for future generations in view of present huge tourist flow in the study area.

Abstract

Worldwide youth spend a lot of time on social media which has become a powerful source of information that converts automatically into knowledge.  In  current study, we chose 400 youth at random on their consent using stratified random sampling procedure and with the help of self-developed validated questionnaire, we examine the political awareness and approach of youth Kashmir towards voting. The data collected  was analysed using standard statistical tools.  It was found that  majority of respondents understudy were aware of politics and political scenario of  the study area.  Statistically, there was non-significant difference in general in the awareness and approach of youth towards voting between male and female youth  in Kashmir. The study showed that 79.5% respondents cast vote as they consider it their right, 67.5% respondents reported that people cast vote as they feel it is the agent of change, 81.5% respondents reported that people cast vote as every vote counts and 32.5% people reported that people cast just for fun without thinking on it seriously. Majority of respondents male as well as female were not satisfied with the performance of candidates irrespective of any political party. Further, group discussion with elders revealed that  handful of corrupt people who had no sympathy with their mother land or people of Kashmir spoiled the image of Kashmiri people for their personal benefits. The people in power were enjoying life because of their dual policy. The current study was based on sample of 400 youth, it was suggested that future study on this topic may be conducted on large sample.
