Don’t deny. Internet is a powerful source of knowledge

This refers to the article by titled “Media, Muslims and Misinformation” by Muzamil Naqshbandi. I completely disagree with the author when he says that internet is a  poor source of information about Islam. Such allegations are irrational. Google, for example, does not contain any content of its More

Obscene messages

This refers to the absurd and obscene Short Messages sent by various mobile service providing companies to the subscribers. It is absolute stupidity to send messages without thinking about the consequences. Such messages put people to shame. These messages may be valid outside, but not in a society like More

Targeting Muslims

This refers to the article titled "The art of maligning a community” by Shams Irfan (GK 15-02-10). The author has portrayed a true picture of the Indian Film industry. Undoubtedly, Bollywood seems to be hell bent upon maligning the image of the peace-loving Muslims. People are fed with the wrong information More

Climate Quacks

This refers to the article on ‘Climate Quacks’ by Shabir Ahmad. Thanks to the author for furnishing this valuable information about the drastic changes in our environment. Global warming is a global concern and we need a coordinated global solution. Individualconcern for these changes is equally More

UN failure

The United Nations’ failure in coming out with a solution to the Kashmir dispute can be largely ascribed to India’s refusal to pay any heed to its resolutions on Kashmir. India had taken the issue to the U.N with the hope that the international body would declare Pakistan as an aggressor in the 1947 More

Alternative methods

I completely disagree with the letter titled “UNMOGP call” by Baba Tafazul Mushtaq. It is quite understandable that such calls by Mirwaiz or any other separatist leader are not going to work now. No March (chalo) call has so far proved successful since the last year’s “Eidgah Chalo” call. All such calls More

Making mockery

This refers to the article titled "…and the award goes to" (GK 15 Feb) by Asima Rashid Paray. The author made a right assertion that now onwards people might feel ashamed of telling their children that the most convenient way to get awarded is to get people killed. Giving such a prestigious award to More

Not enough

This refers to the article 'Stop pinpricking Omar’ by Tanvir Sadiq. I am not convinced with the author’s assertion because there were so many cases in NC-rule which remained unresolved. It wasn’t only Zahid who was gunned down this year, but earlier also a civilian was used as a human shield during an More

Innocent Children

The BSF Commandant’s firing at the innocent teenager indicates the ill-intentions of the forces toward the people of Kashmir. Even the innocent children are not spared. The so-called security forces holding high ranks are involved in these gruesome incidents. Children who protest get bullets in return More

Suspending officer

This refers to the news titled “BSF suspends Commandant R. K. Birdi of 68th battalion involved in the killing of Zahid Farooq of Brein Nishat.” It is a good gesture shown by Central Government and the BSF higher-ups. It is relieving that for the first time such an action has been taken against any officer More

Own ways

This refers to the letter titled “Take lesson” by Salman Ayub. The writer seems to be ignorant about Kashmir issue. He has just supported Indian politics which is not going to do any good to Kashmir and Kashmiris. Shiv Sena and Rahul Gandhi are just playing politics. Kashmiri politicians don’t need any More

History now

This refers to the up-gradation of Srinagar airport to "Srinagar International Airport". It is a mere eyewash. No international flight operates from the airport now. Earlier one flight would operate, but now that too is a history.  Tufail Ahmad KhanBurn Hall School More
