SRINAGAR:
Irtiqa Bazaz, in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), was about 10 when she started learning the art of calligraphy on her own.
Years later, the 21-year-old has chosen the art form as a profession. She is pursuing a degree in applied arts from a local university in the Kashmir region and wants to master calligraphy and paintings. When I was very young, I used to imitate the Quranic verses on my school notebook but as time passed I developed an interest in this art and started working on it, she said.
