“Off The Net” Kashmir Freedom Movement

Hamid Rajput has a sharp eye to pick between the lines, he always has something interesting to say. Not only that he has a good way to explain and express himself. I find him very interesting and always like to discuss with him.

When discussing over many issues, Kashmir had us fixed for the barbaric, inhuman and humiliating atrocities being committed over the Kashmiris. Thus our discussion developed in to deeper groves of the issues related to human sufferings there. Be it children, young, old women or anyone that dares to stand before the Indian authorities is crushed in every conceivable manner so as to break the will of the people. Least that the Indians realise that everything can be destroyed but for the will of the people. Now Kashmir movement has entered into a phase of no return, the violence will increase so will the killings who will check and intervene is a million dollar question. To pin hopes on the powers in the West including the UNO would mean living in a fools’ paradise.

Here see how the Indian women have come out of their clothes and asking Indian army to rape them is slap on the face of the world conscience but who cares. Likewise is the Kashmir issue, who cares.

Indian women protesting against rape by Indian army – can someone answer

Kashmir is a burning issue not from the near past but since the freedom of the sub-continent. The British played their cards and India fell trap to that; India accepted what was not hers hence the British succeeded so they have a permanent buyer of their weapons. Wasn’t that what David Cameron had come to visit New Delhi for? He could not see any state terrorism in Kashmir or elsewhere within India where Maoists and many more are fighting for their political rights and freedom from the yolks of India. If he had not kept his eyes close to these problems, how could he have bagged contracts worth 1.5 billion dollars? After all what’s a human value, what does it mean to few rich and powerful, nothing more than an ant that gets trodden under the feet without even being noticed.

Going back a little, during month of April, he wrote a paper, “Who attacked Mumbai” quoting Indian writers and intellectuals, that Indian thinker now realize that the fault lines lie within. Here some visible factors could be mentioned to think who is behind uprisings on the Indian side of Kashmir. Kuldeep Nayar in his recent article jog Indian memory that Nehru made promise with Kashmiri nation that they would be given an opportunity to decide what they wanted to do with their territory and later he backed out his words. Arun Dhati Roy a well respected journalist from India portrays Kashmir uprising in these words: “Not surprisingly, the voice that the government of India has tried so hard to silence in Kashmir has massed into a deafening roar. Raised in a playground of army camps, checkpoints, and bunkers, with screams from torture chambers for a soundtrack, the young generation has suddenly discovered the power of mass protest, and above all, the dignity of being able to straighten their shoulders and speak for themselves, represent themselves.” She has a very loud and strong voice compared to her frail body and structure. May be if asked, she

could also turn around like Mr. Jinnah who was questioned for his loud and firm voice said, “Do not forget that I am a Rajput from Sahiwal.” But admirably this lady has the courage to say it loud and clear without mincing her words. The tragedy is that Indian leadership has no wish to read or hear such words that may bring them closer to peace.

B. Raman, a former Indian bureaucrat views the recent Kashmir uprising in these words: “We are facing an Intifada of the Palestinian model in J & K for the first time. It is a spontaneous outburst of anger by sections of the youth over what they allege is the disproportionate use of force by the police and the CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force).” I took these words as a confession of thousands of killings inside Indian Kashmir. Ban Ki Moon the Secretary General of the UNO also observed similar developments in Kashmir.

Amnesty international’s report on Indian atrocities on Kashmiris reminds the Indian authorities that they have an obligation to protect the right to life in accordance with international law and it includes the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Law Enforcement Officials, can only use firearms when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life. I leave it to readers to decide that who could be behind Kashmir movement, the infiltrators or internal fault lines?Indian troops forcing the kashmiri youth to march naked To protect the right to life is a far cry for the Indian leadership in power at any given time but their killings, rapes and humiliations of the Kashmiris is a routine matter that has no parallel in history. Just to prove the point, here is a video clipping of the Indian security forces herding the unarmed Kashmiri youth stark naked and abusing them. It has some very derogatory language that has been used in it. It’s a complete shame to humanity who are in a position to influence the Indians and yet they look the other side. This a serious cause that develops vengeance amongst the aggrieved who later over a period of time resort to violence and other means that are then termed as terrorism.

What the Israelis are doing in Gaza is simply deplorable that must not only be condemned with words but must be resisted by force of the international community but when it is compared to Kashmir situation, Gaza is just a shadow. When Ban Ki Moon has also seen with his own eyes and realizes the potential threat to world peace why he does not mobilize the international agencies to stem the atrocities of the Indians in Occupied Kashmir makes one wonder about the intentions of such bodies. To conclude, I would like to appeal to the Indian sane mind that please read the writings on the walls that are visible even to blind and do grant the Kashmiris their legitimate rights for self determination. If for some reason this is not heeded to, the consequence can be disastrous not only for India but for the whole region and world peace.

India: mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the mightiest of them all

Dr. Singh’s India obsessed with image building has been running out of fingers to plug the holes in its incredible bucket. Apart from the separatist movements raving in the north- east and north-west of the country such as in Khalistan, Assam, Tripura, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh (with China) and Kashmir (it being the most high profile separatist movement aspiring to join India’s umbilical adversary Pakistan), India is already underway Operation Green Hunt to root out Naxalites inhabiting the entire Red Corridor. Constituting most part of the south west of India Red Corridor comprises 16 states and a total of 195 affected districts.

Nearly all the states infested with Maoists in the Red Corridor are no-go areas for state police and other law enforcement agencies. Only recently two sweepers from the Joint security forces have been abducted by the Maoists in Kolkata as “prisoners of war”. State Police have been offering but a paper-thin defence against these Maoists and are being targeted as ‘enemy troops’ by the Naxalites.

While corrupt, criminally negligent and utterly inept, ‘criminal’ legislators make a laughing stalk of Indian democracy before the world, ghastly evils like communal strife, separatist movements, Naxalites, hunger, abject poverty, crime, frustration and social discord continue to sweep dark molasses across the incredible picture Dr. Singh has been face-painting over the years.

The recent episode of legislators attacking Abu Azmi for taking oath in Hindi language rather than in the regional Marathi language speaks volumes of this sharp puritanical communal sentiment prevailing in Indian society.

Professing to be the biggest secular democracy, India today not only portrays a mockery of its aspirations but finds itself weak in the knees every time it takes upon propagating Pakistan as the ‘fountainhead of global terrorism’.

India’s longstanding aspiration of being a global hegemon with hook or crook sleeps right below the halo of its regional aspirations. Evidence of it smothering its smaller neighbors into the bosom of Kautliyan intrigue, is nowhere out of date. Beginning from illegitimate usurpation of Jammu and Kashmir in August 1947, and then of Junagadh and Hyderabad later that year in November and September (resp.); annexation of Goa in 1961, Sikkim in 1965, covert and later military intervention in East Pakistan in 1971, involvement in the internal affairs of Sri Lanka since 1987, intervention as ‘help’ to Maldives government in 1988 at the time of controversial coup by Indian Tamils in Maldvies, Maoist uprising in Nepal in 2000, helping Nepalese government against Maoists that in turn had covert Indian backing as in the case of LTTE in Sri Lanka all are but a few accomplishments of India’s customary appetite for regional hegemony. Evident from these few examples barring the recent involvement in Afghanistan RAMA and Baluchistan insurgency India has never failed to export terrorism in its neighboring countries through covert or overt operations often using immoral means which is why in 1997 Prime Minister I.K. Gural shutdown two of the intelligence outfits aimed at Pakistan (that had conducted country wide bombings across Pakistan) on moral grounds. Even before Gujral, Prime Minister P.V. Narsimha Rao had ended RAWs eastern operation in the early 90s as part of his efforts to ‘reconcile’ with China and Burma.

Talking of exporting terrorism, no other country has lost two of its serving Prime Ministers to state involvement in exportation of terrorism. It was Rajiv Gandhi who lost his life to the LTTE assassin while Indhra Gandhi became the victim of backlash by the Sikhs of Punjab after the state eliminated their prominent leader. Bereavement among lesser, non-hindu communities that has been simmering all along now appears to have reached its boiling point.

A democracy where Muslims are denied praying in Delhi, emblem of incredible, most urbanized and modern districts of India; a democracy where caustic slogans inciting communal dissension like ‘pehlay Kasai phir Isai’ (first the Muslims and then the Christians) are rife; a democracy where not even a single non-hindu Indian community finds itself on the same page with the Sangh Parivar; a democracy where the downtrodden wage an open war against the government should hardly finds space on its head to crown itself with great responsibility of being a regional power.

As they say with great power comes, great responsibility India has a long staircase to ascend before it can even define the type of government it is running with ample national consensus.
