In this episode of Khaèr Paŧh with Sobiah, we are joined by two powerful voices of Kashmiri literature, Naseem Shafai and Nighat Sahiba. Together, we explore the world of Kashmiri women’s writing: its silences, its strength, its memory, and its quiet resistance.

The conversation moves through language as inheritance, the inner landscapes of women’s lives, the role of memory in shaping literature, and the evolving space for Kashmiri women writers today. At its heart, this episode reflects on what it means for women to write from within Kashmir not as subjects of history, but as its authors.
