How long will our children suffer like this?

Killing of teenagers in cold blood, can shatter even a stone-hearted being. Every Kashmiri has felt and is feeling the pain of losing these young children. My heart too bleeds for those tender buds who were not allowed to see life in its full-bloom. Our valley is again pushed into darkness. We are More

All hype

The news story “Ahad Jan arrives to hero’s welcome in Ajas” surprised me. I wonder why we create heroes out of everyone who does even a simple act in favour of Kashmir.

Unity must

It has been a topic of debate from times immemorial that there should be mass involvement of all Kashmiris in the freedom struggle.
