But Stein who valued time by the “breadth of hair” did learn Kashmiri.
“I am taking the advantage of opportunity to learn Kashmiri and regularly take lessons on the march and at camp during evenings from Pandit Kashi Ram. Though not a scholar like Govind Kaul, he is more reasonable, a fine person and a good walker.” - Aurel Stein.
