[Reader-list] Kashmir Discourse at jantar Mantar: My performance on day 2nd...

[Inder Salim]

Dear all

I was called by the man on the  mike.
I introduced myself, as everybody was requested to

initially  I started in Kashmiri, but i was reminded that there
non-kashmiris in the audience so i switched to English:

I said, My name is Inder Salim.  Hindus consider me Muslim and Muslims think
i am Hindu, but i enjoy this confusion.

Right now, i am quite sad about the painful situation in Kashmir.  The
present Kane Jung ( stone Pelting ) has replaced gun culture , which is good
sign, and this Kane Jung too will transform into Kathe Jung ( war of words
). I said something more very briefly, but this was the gist.

 Before i moved in the center of sitting audience, i said that i will do a
small action and if someone wants to join the action, i would be glad, if
not it is alright:

The  100 odd gathering of protesters were holding protest slogans in front
of them, and one of it was I PROTEST ,

I took the sheet of paper from the hands of man holding the slogan . I took
handkerchief from my pocket and tied it on my face as the men in valley do
while throwing stones, to hide their identity, i exhibited the paper with I
PROTEST written on it. I rolled it into a ball, and held it in my hand like
a stone, and made the of action of a stone thrower. It was still moment for
about half a minute. The audience clapped and i ended my performance.

I was facing Indian Parliament

I hope to receive images soon, as there were so many around clicking the
still of my gesture.

with love
is
