Presents Kalam e Shiekhul Alam (RA) in short videos

Budgam 06 MAY (KNS): At the time when youth are glued to E-content from all over the globe, the Kashmiri language seems to be missing around this digital space that too in its real form.
Amidst craze for Urdu, Hindi moreover towards Punjabi a man from budgam decided to present the purest form of Kashmiri language in video format so that youth get to know the real form of their mother tongue that's Kashmiri.

These videos are posted on daily basis on FacebookPage Muneer Speaks, where these get shared hundreds of times with few hours of upload. 

Muneer Ahmad Dar (Who owns the Page #MuneerSpeaks) from the Khag area of the district is on a mission of reviving the real Kashmir among youth, these days.

He has started a series of 30 videos on Kalam E ShiekhulAlam(RA). In this series each day commencing with Ramadan days one Shalook (Shruk) of ShiekhulAlam' is being recited in an attractive manner with the meaning of tough words used in that 'Shalook'.
When people around are grabbing attention in the name of pranks even nothing to learn from, Dar decided to do the relatively tougher task where attracting youth was much difficult but thanks to the graphics being used in these videos. More and more viewers connect with each new episode of the series.

Dar said, " I am myself learning Kashmiri with each video i shoot and publish. I never knew the purest (Taksali) form of my mother tongue."

I wonder that a man in the 15th century wrote what research and development is proving in the 21st century. He didn't attend any formal school but knew the socio-economic setup of the community back then. His shalooks are attractive and relevant to present 21 century as well.

Seeing the response from people Dar has decided to do more videos in season 2 of this series.
"Many people like share and comment on these video posts, they even urge me to continue the series post-Ramadan," Dar said adding that 20 parts of this series have been watched over 250 thousand minutes in just twenty days.

Dar has chosen short duration videos seeing the attention span of people while being on the social media platform. 
it is pertinent to mention that these videos are produced with a smartphone only.(KNS)
