ITALY

The new internet sensation, Italian singer Cesare Cremonini’s single Kashmir-Kashmir has over 6 million views. This catchy single has left people across the world wondering about Kashmir.

The song’s video is set in a Kashmir lookalike place in Italy and talks about a boy of Kashmiri origin and Muslim tradition. The boy is seen by the white Western population, prey to the psychosis caused by terrorist attacks, as a possible terrorist. On the contrary, the boy just wants to live his life and grow up in Europe with same habits and customs as that of his peers. The translated lyric of the song goes as:

Son of a mujaheddin
Born under the Kashmir sky
You have lost heaven but Europe is like that…
I’m not a mujaheddin
But in my heart I carry the fire of Kashmir
The light of faith has brought me here
As the wind blows behind my steps
I swear to you that I studied in the best schools
This western life, no, is not so bad
