The Story Behind The Song Jhelumas | Strong Women Of Kashmir | 101 Sufi | 101 India




After experiencing the ravaging Kashmir floods first-hand, ethnic-Sufi band Alif wrote “Jhelumas” as an ode to the river Jhelum. Mohammad Muneem frontman of the band compares Kashmiri women to the river, constantly moving ahead despite the circumstances. This song reminds him of his mother who was always calm and strong in the face of adversity. Listen to the track here:https://www.101india.com/music/jhelum...
