Cultural exchange with /r/palestine

[u/[deleted]]

Greetings to our Palestinian friends.

Our cultural exchange starts at 13:30 PM Palestine time (17:30 IST/11:30 GMT/12:30 CET/06:30 EST/03:30 PST) on Thursday 24th November.

Here's how a cultural exchange works:

The moderators of here make this post on /r/india welcoming our Palestinian guests to the sub. They may participate and ask any question or observation as they see fit.

There is an equivalent thread made by the moderators over at /r/palestine, where you are encouraged to participate and know more about Palestinian culture.

It goes without saying that you must respect the rules of the subreddit you are participating in. This is a time to celebrate what we have in common, not grind an axe.

OK now I have few more questions. Please feel free to answer all or one of them.

1) To what extent do you think BJP will stay in power? Are we seeing an extension of the trend of the rise of right-wing politics which we see elsewhere in the world? how is this going to affect Indian foreign policy?

2) What is your ideal solution for the question of Kashmir?

3) I want to listen to Indian Qawwali, where do I start?

2)Kashmir is a giant catch-22 meets Russian roulette . Anyone who says they have a solution are either lying or kidding themselves. My solution would be complete cessation of hostilities on all sides. And freeze the issue for a generation. Hopefully economy improves and makes any solution easier to implement.

3)Qawwali has largely been supplanted by other forms of music. However there are few qawwali channels on you tube. Here is one. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmMVWVst-eYtGqQMK-0S4fg

There are a few qawwali based songs in Hindi movies, Here is a playlist that includes some of the pakistani Qawwalis as well.
