Saffron does not originally come from Kashmir. It was first cultivated in Greece or Iran. Vice News should change the title.
haha i wonder how many people in kashmir actually consume the saffron
someone tell them that fork and spoon were invented long time ago
5:03 So their workstation is basically one step above caveman… This would not be acceptable in almost any other country.

Safran can also come from Kozani Greece
Long live my motherland….
Long live kashmir…
changed the constitution ? This is no professional language, amendment was made in a law, passed by both houses of Parliament, legally .

Safron is the most incredible spice.

Long live a united independent kashmir no Pakistan no india no china
Smearing India 🇮🇳, using spice as a cover! Vice news is really good
