A Kashmiri Pandit, he will never die, you can just kill the body and I being a Hindu have read Quran and Quran say that, “yeah jo shareer ka chola hai badal jayega, lekin jo insan ka spirit, jazba hai kahi nahi jayega (the outer look will gets changed, but the true spirit or sentiments and emotions are not going anywhere), said Shraddha.
