Have a better and a safer way of protest

This refers to the article titled “How to save this protest?” (GK 2 July 2010) by Surinder Mohan. It was a nice and an innovative piece of writing. The author is absolutely right in saying that we should transform the mode of protest into a lifelong tested form known as “Satyagraha” (Non-violence More

Stop this

 Several unfortunate consecutive deaths have torn our valley apart. Whose fault is it? The question is as simple as the answer complicated. But this question is of no significance, because the blame game goes on and never seems to end. What matters is a peace making strategy which is the responsibility More

Unite now

 I am a Kashmiri who has been brought up in the sweet  sound of slogans, in the shade of death and in the thundering noise of bullets and grenades, yet I am not afraid of being shot dead. I remember, I was in the 5th  standard when I and my friend nearly met the angel of death when the More

Be truthful

  This refers to the  statement of GK Pillai who advised a crackdown on trouble makers. Moreover on NDTV some Mr. Vishnu was sermonizing people of Kashmir  on how to live their lives. Very unfortunate!! Our own mainstream politicians are teaching us the way to live. No one affords More

Journalists unite

Cheap blood

New Delhi has denied use of Army in Naxal-infested areas where 154 CRPF men have been killed in the last couple of months. But Army has been called in for Srinagar city, apparently to kill more Kashmiris. Is it democracy at its “finest”? Recently the Bhartiya Janata Party and CPI (M) called for India More

EJAC silent

 Is money everything for our working class? Is the non-payment of arrears more important than the ongoing bloodshed? The Employees Joint Action Commitee has not uttered a single word over the mayhem on the streets of Valley. It is really unfortunate. It is good given the moral standards. EJAC must More

Solve Kashmir

 Four deaths in a day in Srinagar is a clear indication of the fact that the Indian Security Forces are not here for the safety of people, but to kill ordinary Kashmiris. Since the senior National Conference leader has made it clear that “NC has lost control over CRPF”, it indicates that the troopers More

Be clear

How tragic!

 The killing of innocent youth in Kashmir continues. Aren’t we humans? Don’t we have a right to live and object to the violation our rights? It indicates that the  forces are out to eliminate the entire generation. How tragic!Yasir BashirUniversity of Madras More

Stop killings

  Kashmir once known for its beauty has turned into graveyard. Graveyard of its sons who used to be nurtured on mother Kashmir but are laid down to rest. Scores of youth in the valley have been targeted and killed ruthlessly. They leave their homes either for tuitions or for playing and are More
