A Kashmiri youth-led collective at Aligarh Muslim University
We write, read, put our culture on show, and gather, so students far from home have somewhere to belong.
Membership is free, and there is no interview.

What we do · 2026-27
Every activity has a low doorstep. Pick one and come once.
Poems, stories, and food from the people who make it, with an hour kept afterwards for the arguing.

Proof · 2026-27
What is true so far, as of October 2026.
Ten students who read, write, and edit drafts.
No event held yet, and none scheduled.
Eight of the ten hold a role this term.
One for every activity but one.
Counted for the 2026-27 academic year, and updated each term. The five published pieces are a programme, an oral history, a reading list, an essay, and a set of questions; they are listed under Our work.
Gatherings
The first evenings are planned for next semester, in February 2027.
