[Reader-list] hug a Kashmiri day

[anupam chakravartty]

I could understand the concern for Kashmiris but are we not reducing
them to our pets devoid of love and nutrients? Its really shocking!!
And the criterion: "3. Note: You may NOT be considered a Kashmiri just
because you have lived in Kashmir. It's in the blood. I hope its not
one of the face book jokes. Kindly do not stereotype people to this
extent. It is my personal view. I am not looking forward to any
explanation or a reply.
