While I appreciate the positive story, I hope the series doesn't romanticize the challenges. Kashmir deserves nuanced storytelling that acknowledges both the struggles and triumphs.

Football in Kashmir has always been popular but never got the recognition it deserves. This series might inspire more investment in sports infrastructure in the region. Great initiative!
