It had been a tough year for Jammu and Kashmir but people are hopeful that Santa Claus will definitely spread cheer in the depressing winters of Kashmir.
“In the past 15-year of unrest, Christmas celebration was never affected in anyway. It is in these times of unrest when we need Jesus more. Our prayers for Kashmir are that there should be at peace because Jesus is the prince of peace. We pray there should be peace and bond in each of our hearts,” says a local Grace Palijor.
And adding colours to the celebrations is a bash for the kids by a Srinagar hotelier. The religious tolerance in this state has not taken a beating despite two decades of militancy.
“We are doing this to appreciate the small community, to show solidarity with them and appreciation to the world in the field of modern education and medicine and healthcare,” says a leading hotelier Krishan Amla.
