Maaje Zevwe [meaning: mother tongue] is a Kashmiri feminist magazine that presents creative and critical perspectives across the significant themes of Kashmiri language-literature, culture-history, and politics-resistance from a feminist lens. The women behind Maaje Zevwe recognise the need for a Kashmiri women-founded and women-led space, where we redefine the various dynamics of being a ‘Kashmiri’—boldly, critically, and unapologetically. 

At Maaje Zevwe, we believe in the power of lived experiences and aim to document the collective and individual memory of Kashmiri women against systematic erasure. We run upon the principle of being non-conformist and promote the feminist analysis of the Kashmiri society and culture, in a way that not only helps in its preservation but doesn’t hesitate to point out the blatant sexism, homophobia, and discriminatory practices in the same.
