    Kashmir or India

    From guest Ceeker (contact)
    It was recited by Jahangir for Kashmir two centuries after it was written by Khusro for India/Hindustan. The name India was given by the Greeks in pre-AD era.. go figure.

    Kashmir

    From guest Ahmad (contact)
    Sorry but this line was written about Kashmir...not India.

    Thanks for the correction. India was not even a single country when this was written.
