Renzushsh said Kashmir is an abode of knowledge for the last five thousand years and Hsuan-tsang came to Kashmir for acquiring high-quality knowledge. He said no doubt during the last 72 years literature of hate, conflicts, and contradictions were imported with evil intent to devalue the high contribution of Kashmir based 7777 Awaliyas, scholars, persons of esteem personalities with a spiritual background. However, our youth has continued to remain under the influence of Great saints and Awaliyas of Kashmir and admired our indigenous literature.
