Sheer malice

I am appalled to read the article full of hatred written by one Mr. Qadri published in your paper about the return of Kashmiri Pandits to their homeland.   I feel the exodus of Kashmiri Pandit community whether voluntary or under duress has literally dismembered our Kashmir built upon centuries More

Why films?

This refers to film reviews published in GK. There is no harm in boosting the entertainment world, but there must be a separate column for those reviews. There was no need to publish reviews of films like Paa, Love Aaj Kal and New York and God knows how many more.  Media has the power and the strength More

Power potential

This refers to the electricity generation potential of Jammu and Kashmir. The state is rich in water resources and can generate a significant amount of electricity. But unfortunately not much is being done in this regard. The state government is entering into deals with agencies like the NHPC. It is More

Film reviews

It’s delightful to see some flavour in the opinion making process. To see film reviews in GK is a nice attempt to provide us a mix of politics and entertainment. I feel happy to see all kind of content from economics to literature to art getting a good space in Greater Kashmir. After all why be confined More

Good movie

I am also an idiot: this is what might be striking the mind of every student after watching the film 3 idiots.

Rotten system

This refers to the poor performance of government schools in the recently declared 10th class results. Every year we see these schools performing in such a pathetic way. Is it because of the lack of accountability, or because of the lack of interest among students? It is high time that the government More

Killing Kashmiris

This refers to the recent killing of a student named Inayat Khan of Dalgate. It seems that the so-called security forces have made it a point to kill all Kashmiris and crush the freedom struggle, once and for all. It is the Armed Forces Special Powers Act which is responsible for all the mess. The forces More

Gross violation

For the last couple of months it has become a common practice to watch TV channels advertising publicly various Scheduled Drugs under certain trade names. All these advertisements are aired just like other ads on soaps, cell phones and so on.This is a gross violation of “The Drugs Act, 1950”, a malpractice More

Punish culprits

This refers to the burial of Shopian double rape and murder case. Where are the culprits of the case? Why isn’t anyone punished in the case? Who committed the crime after all? It is unfortunate that the killings in Kashmir are going unnoticed. It is high time for Kashmiris to understand that justice More

Great tribute

I was happy to read the article titled “Doyen and Dear Heart'(12-01-2010) by S. Sarwar. The writer has nicely come up with a tribute to the great poet and provided full information about his life. This will certainly be helpful to the students of Urdu literature and encourage the budding poets to More
