Shivan & Narresh held a fashion show at a ski resort in Kashmir last week .

The show sparked outrage among locals, politicians and religious leaders in Muslim -majority Kashmir .

Many accused the designers of "mocking their faith" and "disregarding local culture and sentiments" Kashmir has witnessed decades of armed separatist insurgency against Indian rule since the late 1980s .

In 2013 , separatists and human rights activists in the region protested against a show by Zubin Mehta .

They said it was an attempt by the government to show the world that all was well in Kashmir when people were "suffering and dying" Some of the recent apprehensions around culture and identity can also be tied to the increase in tourists to Kashmir from other states in India .
