SRINAGAR: Amidst all the turmoil in the war-torn Kashmir, there are individuals who continue to triumph over mayhem repeatedly. With a burning passion of a thousand suns, thirty-year-old Iram has become the first Kashmiri Muslim woman to render services as a pilot.
Iram’s recruitment at a private airline as a licensed pilot is due next month.
She is to succeed Tanvi Raina, a Kashmiri Pandit, who joined Air India as the Valley’s first woman pilot in 2016.
To achieve her dreams of becoming a pilot, Iram even had to relinquish acquiring a doctorate in forestry.
In conversation with an Indian daily, Iram, who is currently undertraining in Delhi to get a commercial pilot license, said, “Everyone was surprised to find that I am a Kashmiri Muslim doing flying but I went ahead to achieve my goal.”
Moreover, she received formal training as pilot in Miami, US in 2016.
