[Reader-list] Fw: Re: Why Kashmir defies solutions

[Inder Salim]

May be there are some who believed that kashmir is about to experience
some revolution, but the days of revolution are gone,  we may know for
all the times to come.

something different is happening at the root, which may be giving a
wrong signal to all of us. It may look peaceful, but will be
misleading at the same time. How, true, that the present outbursts in
the valley were not organizied by any leader, proves the point that
some deep anger is simmering... which is carried forward in some other
forms within....

Indeed, it seems that the entire valley was painted with one brush by
the Media here.
but there are many people who do their job, and hate their job at the
same time.  Personally, i hate my job, but i had to do it, it is my
need...

. My idea is most of the people dont love their job, but are doing
it..... exception to that is those who manipulate, and eat the cake as
well.

Police excesses have been always there, be it punjab, Chattisgarh,
north east, kashmir, etc... nothing new. For example, do you think an
ordinary Army jawan has some commitment or love for India and is
protecting the nation for that love in kashmir.  No. it is a job, like
any other job, and we have unethical malpractices going on under our
very nose in every sector, be it army, police, or hospital, that is
abnormality

Most of the times, jobs cause hidden misery, and we see the reflection
of that abnormality in our society at every level.

People applying for police jobs is not abnormality,
but the behaviour of entire establishment is abnormal: the way it is
dealing with its subjects. Dynasty rule is one, and extreme lust for
power is another.... etc

love
is
