It's an occasion to reflect on a long-standing and complex issue that has caused pain to many and strained relations between nations.

The history of Kashmir is marked by complexities, conflicts, and differing narratives.

On this Kashmir Black Day, it is an opportunity to pray for understanding and peace and renew the commitment to being agents of change, using knowledge and skills to contribute to a brighter and more peaceful future.
