In response to Firdous Syed's article

This refers to Firdous Syed's article, Wish you well Pakistan (GK August 14th). We must not forget that Kashmir is nothing more than a contiguous Muslim majority region of Pakistan which has gone to the wrong side of the great divide of 1947. Delinking Pakistan from Kashmir issue is a disservice to More

Education must

My heart feels for those who lost their young ones. Every Kashmiri is suffering in the prevailing situation. I thank our doctors and the paramedical staff who are serving the Valleyites in this hour of grief. At the same time, employees of PDD, PHE also deserve applause. We have a rich tradition of helping More

Little difference

All Party Meeting at New Delhi, chaired by the Prime Minister, hasn’t made much difference in Kashmir. Perhaps the people of Kashmir are fed up with the routine statements by New Delhi. Merely acknowledging the fact that Kashmir dispute needs the political solution does not make any difference. You More

Leh cloudburst

Jammu and Kashmir government must ensure all possible help to the people of Ladakh, who have suffered immensely due to flash floods. It is the responsibility of the government to reconstruct everything that was washed away in the floods. Let government act, not just talk!Masood AhmadLeh, More

Mere rhetoric

I wonder why P Chidambaram often speaks rhetoric. It is unfortunate to see him saying that situation in Kashmir is worsening. But what is he doing in New Delhi to address the situation in Kashmir. Imagine this crisis had happened in any other part of India. New Delhi must stop looking at Kashmir from More

Who cares?

Is anyone in the world listening to what is happening in Kashmir? Kashmir is bleeding and nobody is voicing concern. The government is acting as a mute spectator while India is busy pumping money and jobs into the state. Nobody is addressing the basic issue of civilian killings in Kashmir. The Organization More

Angry people

This refers to the Bakshi Stadium shoe throwing episode. People of Kashmir are extremely unhappy and angry with the present establishment for obvious reasons. More than 50 people have lost their lives in the past two months. It is unheard of in any part of the world. Civilians are being killed in Kashmir More

Beating women

This refers to photographs which show policemen beating women. It is criminal to beat women and children. But in Kashmir, everything seems to be fair in the ongoing war against civilians. It is really painful to see the situation that Kashmiris encounter with each passing day. The situation is just worsening More

Students suffer

Why is Hurriyat Conference (G) neglecting the basic fact that children are suffering. Schools and colleges stand closed for the past two months. How can the students compensate this loss. This year one expects worst results of students appearing in class 10th and 12th. This is benefiting others who More

Only option

The ongoing civilian killings in Kashmir don’t seem to bother the politicians of Jammu and Kashmir. Neither the politicians nor the Delhi-based media are trying to address the real issue in Kashmir. The government simply uses brute force — the way Israel and China do — to safeguard territorial integrity More

All politics

This is in reference to the killing of innocent people in Kashmir. India has done a complete mess in Kashmir. Army making political statements; politicians dealing with military solutions. While some talk of AFSPA as their holy book, others say goli maro Kashmir ko. Some are shedding crocodile tears More

Not final

This refers to the Prime Minister’s statement that India is looking for autonomy as one of the solutions to the Kashmir dispute. It is absolutely wrong to say that people of Kashmir are sacrificing their lives for autonomy. If India thinks like that, they are mistaken. People want right to self determination More
