It goes on to mention how the aspirations of Kashmiris were soaring and how the local industry and tourism have been flourishing.

Another user with the X handle Prof. James Taylor said, 'After an extended period, witnessing such monumental progress from a women's perspective is truly remarkable. A young woman engaging in rap, especially in the culturally rich region of Kashmir, was once deemed implausible."

I ardently anticipate witnessing a proliferation of dynamic individuals achieving excellence in their respective domains. Heartiest congratulations to these two burgeoning rappers, exemplifying the epitome of achievement."
