A Kashmiri youth has travelled from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and vice-versa without money.
Muneeb Ahmad Wani, a resident of Pinjura shopian who has passed his bachelor degree and makes blogs on different topics reached Kanyakumari in around 50 days.
Wani while talking with the global Kashmir news paper said that it was a social experiment and he started his journey on 16 December 2021 and returned back just a day before.
Wani said that people here always say that Kashmiri youth are always being targeted without any reason and in order to explore to find out how a Muslim youth will be treated outside J&K without money, he started his journey.
Wani said that on way to Kanyakumari, he was spending a few days at some places to explore famous places there and to talk with people to observe their behavior.
“During the journey I found all different types of people. Everything was arranged by people for me, whether it is food, travel charges and accommodation. I even spent a few days and nights with Hindu families,” he said.
Wani said he had pinned his account number and other details with his video on social media after which he received calls and some were donating money as well.
“Wherever I went, I was helped by all without any discrimination. I saw brotherhood and humanity above everything,” he said.
“People always help anybody here in Kashmir, they say, Kashmiriyat Zindabaad, but most of the people I met during my journey were sympathetic and kind to me, though you always find few people with a negative mindset,” he said.
Wani said in southern states, people gave him a huge respect once they saw my tag on which “Yatra from Kashmir to Kanyakumari without money” was written Ends. Aim of the journey was to explore people not places: Muneeb Wani.
