Future of Kashmir.....!!!!

The Amarnath Shrine Board land controversy has taken a turn where the dormant separatists movement in Kashmir is given a new lease of life. The Congress Govt at the centre and Govt of J & K, especially Mr. Vora, the Governor of J & K, must take blame for this most unfortunate turn of events. The separatist movement which had died down slowly, has suddenly got a new lease of life, due to lack of knowledge in ground realities and ignorance about the local people’s political aspirations of top political leaders of this country. Here there is no particular party or ideology to blame but the entire Indian Political leadership is without any direction. There is absolute lack of imagination about the political solution to J & K problem.


We understand that the politicians are just the representative of Indian masses, who come and go at the end of every five years. They are pretty busy in their primary task of making money as it is supposedly their best time to make money for them and their family. Hey are not sure about their return to this of their position after the 5 years. So the national issues are of secondary issues, primary being making money by any means. So one is not surprised about their ignorance and lack of imagination on the core problem of J & K.


But we are unable to understand what has happened to those civil servants who are most educated and learned. They have the brain and ability to understand the actual problem and advise the Govt in power to take appropriate measures. The political class of this country is completely out of date and out of time with out of mind. But here the entire IAS officials who actually rule the country from behind the screen seems to have also lost the willingness to perform. These people are highly intelligent and motivated, as their studies and their syllabus demand such an aptitude from them, are seems to have hand in glove with the present politicians and are also making money for their generations to come. Their role in this regard must come under scanner. It is they who actually decide the present & future of our country.


It is these officials who actually advise the Indian leaders. Since they are the most educated lot in the corridors of the power, they must take the equal blame for the policy failure on J & K. It will be time when these officials and the politicians will have to give answers to future generations of India. As these people are proclaimed and unchallenged kings of Indian democracy (mobocracy).

The Hurriyat Conference has received a sudden boost to its image as a party who will liberate Kashmir from Indian clutches. (?) These Kashmiris are asking for freedom from Indian rule in Kashmir.


They need to give clear answers to following questions before they talk of freedom.


Whom do we give freedom to? Whom do we talk about the freedom with?


Is Hurriyat Conference their true representative?


Does this Hurriyat Conference has its acceptance beyond Srinagar?


Have these people in Valley ensured that Pakistan will also give freedom to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK)?


Who will pay back for all these years of aid given to Kashmir’s development & its security, incurred after the independence?


Who will pay for the plight Kashmiri Pandits, who were driven out of their homes in Kashmir? Was not this ethnic cleansing In Kashmir? Who will be held responsible for their killing, looting of their properties in Kashmir?


Hurriyat Conference (HC) is behaving like of spoiled child. Who keeps on crying for more and more, like a spoiled child keeps his parents always on toes! Their demand has nothing to do with the Kashmir people’s aspirations. It is they themselves, who want to win the elections going to be held in the next 6 months or so. They are trying to win the sympathy and attention of people of Kashmir, which could win them elections and get into the J & k Assembly.


Their plan of actions does not end there. They want every Indian Govt at centre on their knees. They will get a stage where they can speak anything they want, once they are in the Assembly, as people’s representative. They can pressurize any Govt at Centre and get their work done. It is urgently required that how much property they have amassed during their political career must be disclosed to the people of J & K.


The HC leaders are hitting on the face of these idiot leaders who have no daring to say to HC that they are wrong. They fear that they could loose the Muslim votes in their constituency. HC will continue to say everything which is anti-India, anti-Hindu. They will not respect our Constitution and our principle to Rule of Law. If this had been USA or Israel, HC would have had already been dissolved and its members missing in the world population, with all of them trying to hide their original identity, as such of their act must be construed and will be construed by these Governments as a war against a nation.


They are throwing insults after insults to our self-respect and our motherland. In this highly charged atmosphere, the people of Jammu are doing a great service to our nation. They are fighting highly pampered and completely rotten leadership led by HC. What the entire nation should have done unitedly, is being done by the Jammu residents with their agitation to get back the land earmarked for the Amarnath Shrine. It is deeply felt that why these Muslims of Kashmir are pampered and for what? They must stay as a equal citizen of India and enjoy all rights and enjoy privileges and also fulfill their duty as citizen of Indian Union.


It is so pity that we have no other option but to wait and watch for our own destruction by these handful people who belong to Congress, BSP, SP, PF in Kashmir, Hurriyant Conference & BJP. They have all unitedly ruined this wonderful nation and they will be asked questions by future generations as to what and how they served the Indian nation.

The present situation in Kashmir & Jammu may be very dangerous. It is more likely that prolonged agitation for separation from Indian Union could worsen the political stability gained in last few years. If this happens, which seems more likely now, the President's rule could be imposed for the coming few months and subsequently the Assembly elections could be postponed. The terrorist activities could gain momentum as never before with the support of local and foreign terrorists. They will give our security forces one of the toughest-ever fight. Much melodrama over Kashmir and its freedom could unfold, and perhaps more blood could be shed on streets and outskirts of Srinagar. As it has happened in past, Pakistan will be willing to jump into the turmoil and support separatists. Hence the scenario will worsen further for Indian Security Forces.



Speaking on Political front, with the elections around in next six months, all parties are trying to win the popularity and hence win elections. Becoming a J & K Chief Minister, you can challenge the Indian Prime Minister without the fear of being sacked from the office by New Delhi. Secondly you have command over immense Central Govt aid on all the developmental projects of this State. Tax-payers’ money get wasted on people who do not think that they are part of this country!

But this time around lady luck is smiling on India. We are confident that the politicians have no capacity to understand and solve the problem as such, we have to look around for the possible fate of this agitation and how it could turn India’s way.


While that the General Elections round the corner in the beginning of the year 2009, Congress Govt at the Centre can not afford to go to elections looking so bad in J & K. In such a scenario, it could only help BJP. Because with every passing day common man could think that this Govt has ruined everything what the predecessor Govt had left behind. All achievements of previous Govt raped very badly by UPA Govt. So it is a one way ticket for Congress, to be out of the Govt, if the J & K situation does not improve or at least the people of this country are not enough satisfied that the UPA Govt has done everything to control J & k situation. (remember, the situation was worsened by Congress only)

Hence the SMS (Sardar Manmohan Singh !) Govt will wait till the situation worsens in Kashmir for the good, for claiming to have been working very hard to control secessionists in Kashmir.


This sounds a story or script of a Hindi film, but much of the said things will not change.

As said earlier this time around the lady-luck is smiling on India. Biggest enemy, Pakistan itself is in deep trouble. With democracy starting to rule the Pakistan and army in Pakistan getting perhaps the first ever direct drubbing in form of President Musharaff resigning from the office. It has some way or the other strengthened the hands of democracy in Pakistan. With Nawaz Sharif out of the coalition government, Pakistan could be asking for trouble in form of political instability.


Afghanistan on the other hand had been targeting Pakistan for the terrorist attacks on its soil and Pakistan does not have many friends in Europe either. The Middle East countries will not cross swords with USA and its allies. They know what happened to Saddam Hussein; can happen to them and their country. So Pakistan is isolated at the moment. Besides every country on the earth know what the intentions are of Pakistanis. So this is the time which is much different than it was when the operation TOPAC was initiated around 1985-86.


Already the debate in Pakistan is on and they are pondering over how they have reached a stage of being called a failed State, while India, who got the freedom at the same time, is thriving to be a prospective super power and prospective economic power house. The learned friends of Pakistan are asking question to their leaders as to what went wrong with Pakistan? It is simple as it is, that you get what you saw as seed. They planted terrorists, bombs, killings, deaths, instability and interference in neighboring countries, clandestine theft of technology related with nuclear weapons, they are getting the same thing in return or they will get the same thing in return. If this realization has really dawned on Pakistanis, it is still not late, and for good cause it is never late, and better be late than never.

So what happens in Kashmir now?


The security forces may clamp curfew for few days at a stretch. There may be some forceful and heavy handed police and military actions, some terror incidents might spread to Jammu or even the entire country. This will go on for few months, may be more than 2 months. But then everything will return to normalcy and everything will be back on track, except the feeling that they are being ruled forcefully by the India.


It is here the Kashmiri people must get practical. First is, India will never give up Kashmir. Secondly, no partition is NOW possible for any State of Union Of India.


India will not give and can not afford to give up anything on Kashmir. Any Govt. even thinking of giving concessions could face wrath and unimagined opposition of Indian masses. Years of turmoil and damages in form of property and death to its security forces, ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits and their still unresolved issues, terror attacks through out India, have strengthened the will of every Indian, that not even a millimeter of land of India cannot be negotiated. Hence they Kashmiri people must now realize that they are better of with India, as there is no second option to this.


If that is the situation, another partition could prove to be more devastating than the first one and more fatal than even a nuclear bomb explosion. The misery and death it could unleash in the subcontinent, is beyond anybody’s imagination.


So better get back to negotiation table and they must talk their problems and difficulties with the authorities and their rightful representatives. Every problem has solution and can be attained with talking to each other. You can not ask for negotiators’ head for negotiating with you. Kashmiri people must respect Indian Constitution and speak in conciliatory language. They are lucky to have Article 370 to look after their well-being. They should speak to the Indian Govt about their aspiration and try to fulfill such aspirations staying within the Indian Constitutional frame work. Otherwise it could happen that under tremendous public pressure Union Govt might be even forced to repeal the Article 370. So better start talking.


Indian culture and its history is one of that forgetting and forgiving. Hinduism believes in LIVE & LET LIVE, and that is the Indian philosophy. That is perhaps the reason for to Kashmiri people must understand that they are now short of sympathy and not as hot a topic on the world scene today as it was few years back. As truth is after all a truth.


So have a break nothing will happen to our Kashmir. let the people of Jammu settle some score in between.

You seemed to have given up the other side of Kashmir, occupied by the Pakistanis. Do you think is that this much easier for Indians to forget that?

Anyways nice readings....

Good write up...you have seems to have forgot the JKLF for the purpose. Independence to Kashmir is just the last thing to happen on the earth. People there must start talking to Indian Govt and solve their problems

he GOI has given much more importance to the Huriyat Leaders & the PDP, for which we are facing such stupid problems. They don't remember the Simla Agreement.The Indian media has to take more lessons from BBC for becoming more & more matured, which has played a key role in making the Shrine issue. The Mufti's should be given easy access to move to Pakistan and remove their Indian Citizenship, She has forgotten that tourists who visit mostly to Kashmir is from India.When there is a huge subsidy given for Haj piligrims, why not a piece of land for the Amarnath Piligrims.

At that time our leaders like Mr.Laloo Prasad Yadav don't look at these issue.
