Yekjah is an initiative to connect everyone from the Kashmiri culture on one platform. Although not limited to Kashmir and its geography, it started as a movement to document everything that is available in written form as a historical record of Kashmiri Culture and Traditions.
Yekjah means being at One Place.
It doesn't matter where we are coming from, but when we are together, everything starts making sense.
As a community, we can bring about significant changes in the world, especially in the lives of our children, who need to be made aware of the heritage that they are part of.
Kashmir has always been a place where knowledge used to flow. People from all over the world came to Kashmir to research in their specializations. There have been poets, writers, scientists, and many more who have given immense knowledge to the world, and this is the actual meaning of Yekjah.
The place where everyone comes together and shares their knowledge is the place which is called Kashmir and Yekjah. We can make all the difference.
If you are from Science, Commerce, or any other background, it doesn't matter. You can still join the Yekjah platform, share your knowledge with the world by publishing blogs and articles.
You can showcase your talent by linking your videos on our video platform or uploading your songs in the "Yekjah Music" section.
Being in one place also helps each of us. We are spread around the world, so it makes sense that if someone needs help in relocating, we can trust each other to provide accurate information.
I am based in Hyderabad these days. If any of you is reading this and thinking of relocating or coming to Hyderabad, just send me a message on this platform and I will get in touch with you. This is the bare minimum I can do for anyone from my community traveling to Hyderabad, and I have done it in the past.
I always love to be in touch with other KP families in Hyderabad, or anyone from Jammu and Kashmir, as such, because I know the pain of moving to a new city, as I had also done that a few years back, and had no contact in Hyderabad.
Being one of the big metro cities, finding a residential apartment or even locating food joints was a big task. Had to travel long distances to find housing and food or other convenience items, which obviously cost time and money both, and after going through this all, I can't see anyone else facing those issues while coming to Hyderabad.
This is just one aspect of showing how we can help each other by connecting on an individual level. There have been scenarios when we, as a community, have helped people find jobs and start their careers in different parts of India, and that is just to ensure that our community grows and prospers.
As time has changed, so have our ambitions and desires. If you have the capability, you should try to help others in need; this will give you a sense of accomplishment and a new friend.
Let's come together and start building the future we all have dreamed of. Let's connect on one platform and share knowledge and wisdom with the world.

This is done to help vendors andthe Kashmiri Community to connect and share resources efficiently.
In Past, during Shivratri or on big occassions, people belonging to our community and others as well had to search for vendors that could supply items like watak masala, or walnuts or other important products, to cater to this issue, we have integrated a marketplace into the Yekjah Platform itself that can be used by vendors to list their products and services and receive enqueries about the same by the buyers.

The link to the marketplace is Yekjah Marketplace.
You can simply click on the above link and check for products or services you need, and call or send an email with your queries to the vendors. This makes it easy for the buyer to search for genuine vendors.

The season has once again come for our community to run from pillar to post for the inclusion of our near and dear ones in the electoral roll or correction of our names or for that matter for applying a fresh for our VOTER ID CARD, for which if I remember have been applying for the last two decades or more and this time I have been once again given an opportunity to revise our credentials in the electoral roll which I know will never be done. This is the same repeated story of our community, and we have seen this happening in the last so many seasons.
I recall my experience when we were asked to apply for EPIC cards and were asked to visit different locations to submit our applications; To Date, I am still waiting for my card!
Recently after the abgoration of article 370 in our state we were once again asked to submit our applications for the voter cards in Shiv temple Ban Talab, but that process also did not culminate in any results. We have been following all the advisories of government from time to time but we are unable to get the fair deal best known to the people who are in charge of these processes.
As we were hounded from the valley in the 1990's we all shifted to the plains and remained steadfast mostly in Jammu waiting and looking at the government at that time for our welfare and resettlement!
But we were only shown subj bagh, a Kashmiri proverb, by successive governments and were always asked to submit our credentials fresh for any welfare activity, but always we got nothing and to date are also sailing on the same boat.
As time passed we as a community worked individually to create a space and tried to reestablish ourselves on our own and worked hard for our younger generation members by providing them the necessary education and making them self-sufficient to work in the corporate sector of the present world.
As it is, time has traveled so fast that we missed a lustrous period of our younger days and as we see it now we all are presently at square one and have only seen the further displacement of our community members as our younger generation are now scattered in our vast country and also in other countries of the world. Since displacement, we as a community have dispersed in every nook and Corner of India, and the government talks about providing facilities to Jammu and Delhi kps for filling these forms of inclusion, correction, or deletion, but what about our other community people, who can't take this cumbersome exercise and they all will remain neglected on account of their right to franchise which is a fundamental right of everyone. Not so many of our community members are interested in working on this exercise once again as they already know the fate of this futile exercise.
I want to know how the election department can rope in any Kashmiri Pandit Community Member who resides other than in Jammu, Delhi, and Chandigarh to enroll in this latest revision of the electoral process.
