Dr Kachru’s article is a bundle of lies?

This is in reference to letter by Dr Kachru (one wonders if he is a real person or fictitious) to Mr Fazalhaq, Tabassum Kashmir and Prof Fida Hasnain about reading room debate. I would like to advice all not to respond to the writer as his intention is to use Kashmiri Pandit name to spread hatred against More

Spoiling children

 This refers to the article “Do not spoil your child” by Salien Malik. The article was an eye opener for those parents who expose their children to the television most of the time.

Criminal Silence

I am a Kashmiri residing outside J & K. First I want to salute GK for keeping us updated about the happenings in Kashmir. But I am feeling ashamed over the silence of national TV channels over the Shopian crisis. I was angry when I saw the channels giving news about the release of students in Pakistan More

Uproot corruption

 This refers to Showket Sahil’s article titled “public life.” It is very unfortunate that our state is on the list of corrupt states.
