[Reader-list] Fwd: Kashmir Unveiled

"Now it  is not a secret that all the kashmiris want Azadi."
 
that is quite a stupid statement and false propaganda
 
the "aazadi' demand in kashmir, is primarily of SOME muslims from kashmir and primarily of those with kashmiri ethnicity
 
please note my use of the qualification "primarily" 
 
 
........ aalok aima

Dear Pawan ji

Recently Gowhar, my friend, quoted Ghalib on his FB wall. " during my
adolescent age, when i picked up a stone to hurl at Mujnoon ( lover ),
I thought of my own head. " Gowhar is one of the Kashmiris who hppens
to be an ardent supporter of Azadi, but he is not for throwing stones,
and wants children to resume classes. True, there are many who think
of Violence as an effective tool to acheive their goal, but he knows
where to draw the line.

There will be no stones at the  IHC  tomorrow, let alone stone
pelting. Kalpana Tikku is showcasing the the recent happenings through
images by Kashmiris themselves. There is no hidden agenda. Now it  is
not a secret that all the kashmiris want Azadi. Govt of India is
actually hiding many skeltones in cupboards which all the courageous
citizens need to unravel.

There will be open discussion at 7 pm as she mentioned in her
programme. and if you have time, please join, But if groups like RIK
come only to disrupt the smooth exchange of ideas then it would be
unfortunate.

i understand why you approve any disruption at anything connected to
Kashmir. as it happened at Jantar Mantar protest organzied by Kalpana
Tikku again. But as an intellegent thinking person, please think its
why ?

You want Kashmir to remain part of India, a democratic secular and
socalist India. right, but is India so ? If India was demoractic in
essense it would not impose imposters in in J&K which has ruined all
the peaceful forms of nogotiation. For you, that can be erased from
memory of our collective history, but you need to understand that if
KPs are homeless it is becasue of that policy, that lust for power
since 1947.

Well, the time has come when the root cause of Kashmir problem is
talked about very sincerely. As i said ealier, it is between People
and Kashmir and Govt of India. If you dont recognize that core of the
Kashmri problem, you are automatically not interested to discuss it in
the first place. Even Govt of India will not invite you to sit at the
table for any dialogue on Kashmir if you dont enter the fray
democratically.

Right now, it looks if agenda of yours is to disrupte, then be it so.

But dont forget, your own exodus from Kashmir is because there were
always elements who were encouraged to disrupte the peaceful process
of dialogue. That is our history. the question is : how long we live
with that formula , which bleeds reasoning endlessly.

with love
