Pragaash (Kashmiri: प्रागाश्, prāgāsh — «moonshine») was an Indian all-female rock band consisting of three Kashmiri Muslim girls- Noma Nazir Bhatt, Aneeqa Khalid and Farah Deeba. The band was formed in December 2012 and received controversy from Islamic scholars, who claimed that the band members allegedly broke the codes of Islam. The band members all received threats of death, rape, and other physical harm, as well as a fatwa from the Grand Mufti of India's Kashmir, which prompted them to quit the band.
