Kashmiri Zachriah Sulayman’s explanation for how the “Afghan joker” saw students walking to school in Kashmir when schools have been closed for months:
“How can we say? We always look for students on the roads. The real students fly on brooms and can disappear thanks to the Hogwarts school of magic and wizardry located at Nowgam. The school is one of its kinds. It not only teaches young students how to show themselves to specific people but also the defence against dark arts. Though we are yet to discover this magical community living in our valley, scholars suggest that we should maintain peace with the magical world lest we might face problems. Many people are believed to have seen these magical people, sometimes they’re dancing on the roads while non-magical people are locked up.”
