settlement of kashmir dispute

For the last eight decades a peaceful and fearless life remained a distant dream for people of Kashmir. No doubt, emotions to get freedom from Indian rule in civil society of Kashmir is very high, particularly anger against the brutal use of armed forces in youth is extremely strong these days so a long lasting solution of this problem seems very difficult but it is not impossible. Let govt. of India declare Kashmir a dispute, things will automatically lead towards a proper direction. Negotiated settlement is the only solution not any warfare, so sane people from all quarters must come forward for the cause of peace so that paradise on earth becomes a real heaven for one and all, particularly for suffering people of Kashmir. Is anybody listening?

ugly shape of state terror in kashmir

Due to the unabated reign of State terror whole valley of Kashmir is burning and Muslim belt of Jammu and Ladakh provinces are also anguished. In fact it’s war of State/People now. Millions of people are indoors due to imposition of strict curfew all over the valley. Army is busy in flag march on the roads of Srinagar and other major towns of the valley. Paramilitary troopers of CRPF and JK Police are not allowing any one to step out his house. It is “Silence of Graveyard on Cannon point”. Local media has been gagged; no news paper got published for the past two days. On the other hand different news Channels particularly “Times Now” is brutally manipulating the situation. Media stands witness that during the past couple of week’s armed forces showered bullets on street crowds and 16 innocent boys got killed. They blame it on “stone pelting”, but those who got killed never took any stone to pelt. Stone pelting was always a mode of protest against the state suppression in Kashmir. Today we are witnessing stone pelting in every part of valley as a reactionary protest against the Indian State and obviously they target troopers. There is nothing new and if somebody links this common outburst of Kashmir youth to terrorism or political business of some party lives in a fool’s shell. One can look into the history of 31st of July 1931 (Martyrs Day) where in the same mode of protest was practiced. Kashmir is a political problem and it must be resolved according to the wishes of people of Kashmir as early as possible.
