This thoughtful gesture highlights Salim's commitment to honouring and showcasing the diverse voices within the literary community.Salim's involvement in literary activities doesn't end with his magazine. He actively contributes to the Jammu and Kashmir Fiction Writers Guild, collaborating with like-minded individuals to uplift the literary scene in the region. Additionally, while pursuing his M.Phil in Urdu literature from Rajasthan University, he serves as a dedicated Urdu teacher at a local institution in Srinagar, imparting his knowledge and passion for the language to eager students.When asked about his aspirations for the future, Salim's eyes light up with determination."I envision a Kashmir where Urdu literature flourishes, where young minds are inspired to explore the depths of this beautiful language. Through 'Koh-e-Maran,' my aim is to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, nurturing a literary renaissance that will resonate for generations to come," he added.Suhail Salim's dedication to preserving and promoting Urdu literature in Kashmir is nothing short of inspirational.
