Srinagar, July 28: President Ram Nath Kovind said, "Hinduism and Buddhism flourished in Kashmir," while speaking at the 19th annual convocation of University of Kashmir at Sheri Kashmir International Convocation Centre (SKICC).
He said, "It is impossible to write a history of Indian philosophy without referring to Kashmir’s contributions to it. One of the oldest manuscripts of the Rigveda were written in Kashmir… Hinduism and Buddhism flourished in Kashmir, as did Sikhism after it arrived here in later centuries.”
