My Dear Kashmiri Brothern Poem by Mohammad Younus

My dear Kashmiri brothern...
...stop negating your culture, your language, your history;
Don't you see you have been deliberately made...
...to forget your identity...
...so that you are totally assimilated to non native culture...
...and speak a language that is not yours,
Understand yourself, love yourself,
Know yourself...
...your culture, your values, your language...
...your ethnicity, your history, your geography;
You cannot survive if you do not realize the potential of you;
You must resist anything that doesn't allow you to be you.
