How Persian Forms Reshaped Kashmir’s Cultural and Spiritual Identity | Meeras Podcast

In this insightful episode of Meeras with Pirzada Shakir, Padma Shri awardee Dr. Shafi Shauq explores the deep-rooted Persian influence on Kashmiri literature and culture. From Masnavi to Ghazal, Qasida, and Naat, he explains how these literary forms travelled from Iran and became an integral part of Kashmiri identity.

Dr. Shauq highlights how even sacred texts like the Ramayana were adapted into Masnavi style by poets like Prakash Ram, reflecting a unique blend of cultural traditions. The discussion also sheds light on how this influence transformed not just the visible cultural practices but also the spiritual fabric of Kashmir.
