The Kashmir Valley, often called “Paradise on Earth,” is celebrated for its stunning landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and distinct seasons. However, beneath this picturesque beauty lies a grim reality—seasonal poverty exacerbated by harsh winters. For a significant portion of Kashmir’s population, the arrival of winter signals not just a change in climate but also a period of economic uncertainty, physical hardship, and social vulnerability. The region’s unique geography and complex political landscape further amplify these challenges. This paper explores the intersection of winter challenges and seasonal poverty in Kashmir, exploring its root causes, impacts on livelihoods, and potential strategies for mitigation.
