Political Row in Kashmir After Video of Muslim Students Singing Hindu Hymns Surfaces Online

The Jammu and Kashmir government prohibited 'Dastar Bandi' (a turban-tying ceremony) at shrines across the region this week, saying that the ceremony was being used for political purposes. Politicians in J&K would go to shrines to offer their obeisance and in turn are felicitated by caretakers of shrines giving them turbans.
