Cashmere is most popular in India with name Pashmina. But these days it is very difficult to find real meaning of cashmere/pashmina as lot of fake cashmere/pashmina is in market. But in reality cashmere and pashmina refer to same type of fabric.
Historically Pashmina or Cashmere has been used in India to manufacture Shawls which are popular with name Pashmina Shalws. Please don't get confused by lot of fake pashmina shawls sold in market by name of PASHMINAS.
Specially regions in state of Kashmir and Himachal are most popular for Cashmere / pashmina shawls. Also these are regions where most of cashmere is produced in India.

Yes you can wash pashmina. You just need to first know what pashmina is made of. If it is pure pashmina wool then you should wash it using various wool wash products available in the market.
Just take care of following things:
Don't wring pashmina while washing
Dry flat
Don't rub too hard while washing, just gentle wash with wool wash should be fine.

1. Fold your pashmina in half, with the tassle/thread ends meeting.
2. Take 4-6 of the tassles from both sides of the pashmina and the opposing corner of the pashmina and tie them. This creates your two arm holes.
3. Slip on with the knot being up, between your shoulder blades.

Pashmina is not banned...It is another wool called "Shahtoosh" which is banned. The reason for its ban is that the antelopes "Chiru" are killed to get the wool required to make a small shawl (3 antelopes for 1 small shawl). Hence Chiru population have reduced drastically. To protect the species, Govt of india placed a Ban on Shahtoosh shawls in 2002. Since pashmina and Shahtoosh products are similar, pashmina products pay due to ban on Shahtoosh.

Pashmina is a type of wool. This name was initially popular only in Asian countries like Nepal, India and Pakistan. And specially in KASHMIR (India).
Now a days same wool is also known by name of cashmere. If you talk about wool standards, then only CASHMERE is registered name in WOOL ACT. And there are strict norms which people need to follow to get their products marked as 100% cashmere. So some of people have started selling CASHMERE on name of Pashmina these days. As Pashmina is not something which is governed by WOOL ACT. It is strange that people are selling silk scarves also by name of Pashmina. Pashmina names been misused so much that these days even scarves and shawls are sometimes named as PASHMINAS.
But in reality if you ask any wool expert, Pashmina and Cashmere is name of same type of wool. Look at RELATED SECTION for links which provides more information about this.

The previous explanation is nonsense.
Seta is the Italian word for 'silk'.
'Pashmina' is derived from the ancient Persian word, 'pashm' meaning 'very fine fleece'.
Moghul emperors first refined 'cashmere' or 'pashmina' goats wool into something ressembling the soft, fine wool we find today when they invaded Kashmir.
'Pashmina' is the word that Indians and Kashmiris have used to describe cashmere for centuries. In fact it was Lebanese traders supplying fine pashmina shawls to the French elite (the likes of the Empress Josephine) who first called 'Pashmina' Cachemire, after the country of origin.
So the correct technical description in the UK and USA for your pashmina stole would be 70 % cashmere, and 30 % silk... That is, if it is made of cashmere and silk. There have been many adulterations since the world jumped on this band-wagon.
The first fashion 'pashminas' which I popularised in the early 1990's through my fashion brand Sophia Swire London, were a combination of the very finest 'pashmina' / cashmere (70%) and the very finest silk (30%) and they were hand woven and hand dyed in Nepal. This quality is no longer manufactured anywhere.

The cashmere fibers are obtained from the undercoat of Chyangras, the Himalayan goats reared in the highlands of Nepal. Cashmere from Nepal is also popular as Pashmina. However, there’s difference between the cashmere and Pashmina. First, the wool from the mountain goats are sheared off during the spring season. However, a single goat produces just 3 ounces of pashmina wool in a year, which is not even sufficient to weave a pashmina shawl; wool from about three Chyangras are needed. After the wools are collected, they are then hand spun. Using the local spinning wheel, the Chakra, people spun the yarn. However plain and simple it might sound, weaving demands much patience, dedication, and skills; which is why cashmere from Nepal is widely preferred across the globe.

Yes, pashmina wool comes from the undercoat of goats, particularly the changthangi breed found in the Himalayan region. The goats are combed to collect their soft downy undercoat, which is then spun into yarn. The goats are not killed to obtain pashmina, as the wool is collected during their natural molting process.
