00:00When you go back to your place, would you recommend your family to visit Kashmir at
00:09least once?
00:10Definitely.
00:11A foreign delegation came to this place and met all of the young women here.
00:21How do you feel?
00:22It was very nice to meet them, they were all very nice and they told us about our first
00:29vote.
00:30They told us about the experience of our first vote, they shared a lot of things with
00:35us.
00:36They told us that they came from different countries, so it was very nice to meet them
00:42and we also shared our experience of our first vote with them.
00:53Over a dozen foreign delegates visited Srinagar on the invitation of Ministry of External

01:08with the young girl voters.
01:18People are coming up to vote with the sense of exercising their constitutional rights,
01:27and you can see they are happy and they want really to participate in this constitutional
01:33act, which is good.
01:35Women, men, I saw even small children who were accompanying their parents and the general
01:45impression is a democratic process that is being implemented with such a joy and commitment.
01:56How good is this visit, as a personal visit, how did you like this place, the beautiful
02:00landscape?
02:01Oh well, the place is very, very beautiful.
02:03I was actually telling my friends, why don't you come and purchase a boathouse in these
02:11beautiful waters of Dal Lake.
02:13It's called Dal Lake, right?
02:22A privilege today to be here.
02:24I'm especially impressed to see how you even vote here in a remote area in Kashmir, where
02:31we had to come with a boat to come and observe the election, and then also to see how many
02:37young women are standing here in line to utilize their democratic right.
02:42Young women lining up in queues outside the polling stations to participate in this festival
02:48of democracy.
02:49Yes, I did find it interesting that there was quite a festive atmosphere also with young
02:54children coming with their parents, especially at the other places that we were today.
02:59So it was really, I mean, Kashmir is a place where I always wanted to come, so I'm very
03:05happy to be here.
03:12We had some guests from outside to meet you, would you like to share your experience with
03:19us?
