THE SOUNDS OF KASHMIRI
Notes
  • A typically Kashmiri meat shop is operated by a Muslim or a Sikh. The Kashmir Pandits, unlike Brahmins in other parts of India, are voracious meat-eaters, but they do not associate themselves with the business of butchering.

    • A  , also called a ganay  'butcher', usually cuts meat to your specifications.
  • The two terms neni and ma:z are used for meat (generally 'mutton'). The Hindus call it neni and the Muslims ma:z.
