It's good you talk even though talks collapse

The foreign minister level talks between India and Pakistan yet again proved to be a diplomatic wrestling bout where each one was trying to do down the other. In the end no headway was visible on unresolved issues and the talks collapsed and so did the hopes of millions of Kashmiris. There have been More

Curfewed life

Description of ZGM's curfewed life reminded me of my own curfewed life in 60's. Just a  small  correction. It was not PAC wielding long bamboo sticks fitted with iron knobs but were PP(Punjab Police) who would mostly target knees and elbows during lathi charge which used to be more painful More

Negative approach

The situation in Kashmir is deteriorating with each passing day. This is due to government’s indifferent attitude toward the people, especially the families who lost their dear ones in firing by police and paramilitary forces. Nobody has been punished for the crime he has committed. Had the government More

Political problem

God knows why the Indian film makers only sensationalize political problems. Thanks to them, half of our citizens hardly know anything about the ground realities. Lamhaa, the new Bollywood movie is just far from ground reality in Kashmir. It deals with sensitive question of Kashmir but hardly understands More

Feel concerned

This refers to the letter "I disagree" by Adel Waida, Surely no country or nation has achieved freedom by abstaining from the work. The situation in Kashmir is worsening with Chalo calls and strikes.

Bigger cause

I have been closely watching GK especially its “Reflections part” where people speak up their mind related to the ongoing struggle.

Discipline must

This refers to the news titled “Ensure common man is not troubled: Jama'at leaders.” It is good to see Jama'at expressing such views regarding the ongoing situation in Kashmir. This struggle needs discipline, farsightedness and best understanding so that commonman does not suffer at the hands of More

Complex problem

We are witnessing sad days for the past one month. People are tired, angry and fed up of everything now. Some have forgotten their work places, some have forgotten their profession. Students are enjoying curfews and strike holidays, but scared of heavy course load at the end. Laborers cry for the wages More

Act responsibly

It is not mob violence or just stone pelting as projected by "nationalistic media.” An expression of resentment and yearning for political space by the young generation is being gagged and their warm blood splattered. These boys are not headless chickens. The corridors of power in Delhi are doing no More

Lift ban

It's indeed disgusting to see that cellular service continues to be blocked in the twin towns of Varmul and Sopur. It has been more than two weeks now since the phone services were disabled. I and many others who are living outside Kashmir are very much concerned about our loved ones. The government More
