Science is Changing Lifes of Peoples

The Sanskrit word for Kashmir was káśmīra.^[9] The Nilamata Purana describes the Valley's origin from the waters, a lake called Sati-saras.^[10][11] A popular, but uncertain, local etymology of Kashmira is that it is land desiccated from water.^[12]

An alternative, but also uncertain, etymology derives the name from the name of the sage Kashyapa who is believed to have settled people in this land. Accordingly, Kashmir would be derived from either kashyapa-mir (Kashyapa's Lake) or kashyapa-meru (Kashyapa's Mountain).^[12]
