The Fragrance of Kashmir

Our Mission

Mushq Budj serves as a digital meeting space where scholarly rigor meets accessible, vibrant writing. We celebrate the synergy between depth and clarity, fostering conversations that cross disciplines and borders.

What We Publish

We welcome essays, poetry, visual art, audio, and video from writers, scholars, and creators around the world. Our publications span across philosophy, literature, culture, history, science, and beyond.

The Khanqah Tradition

The word "khanqah" refers to a Sufi spiritual refuge—a place of learning, meditation, and exchange. In this spirit, Mushq Budj creates a digital sanctuary where ideas are nurtured and diverse voices find expression.

Our Approach

We believe in publishing that constructs rather than merely critiques. We seek work that builds bridges between different traditions of thought, that asks difficult questions, and that offers new perspectives on the questions that matter.
