Yes Kashmir burns and there is no one to care for us!

This refers the Seema Mustafa’s article” As Kashmir burns—who cares!” I appreciate the author for understanding the present situation in the Kashmir valley which the rulers in New Delhi and Srinagar don’t. It is a fact that our youth grew up in conflict and are fed up with the system, politicians and More

Good cartoon

I appreciate the cartoon (inside out ) by Malik Sajad (GK July5). He has nicely portrayed the quagmire we Kashmiris are in. We should know our goal and where we are heading. Indeed most of us don’t have a clear vision and moreover there is lack of consistency. So better is to first make the vision clear More

Pleading peacefully

This refers to the article "How to save this protest?" by Surinder Mohan (GK July 2 2010). The author has mentioned some good points but has not cleared his stand on Kashmir issue. To get justice the author advocates that Kashmiris should shun the present architecture of violence and adopt Gandhi's Satyagrah More

Damp squib

The emergency meeting called by the Prime Minister soon after he returned from Canada to discuss the ongoing situation in Kashmir reflected the way India looks at the Kashmir problem.

No change

This refers to the article "Eves Daughter..." by Khurram Saba. The author's answer to the questionnaire of S Sarwar is the representative voice for the entire women folk.  I suppose it reflects not only the women of present times but also of the bygone days where both mother as well as daughter More

Don’t discriminate

 This refers to the article "Girls outshine boys" on July 3. It’s good to see girls topping the CET and seeking the first five positions, but ideologically I differ with the title. It shows that our society still considers a girl to be an underdog because every time a girl tops this title surfaces More

Choose one

This refers to the recent article in GK "Strikes spoil us” by Mouzum. I would like to tell the writer that the present situation is a result of political instability between Kashmiris and India. I think we can not aspire for both the progress of society and achieve freedom at the same time. Kashmir has More

Learn lessons

It is very unfortunate that neither the centre government nor the state government is able to learn clear lessons from the protests in Kashmir. The people of Kashmir have always sacrificed their lives for the great cause. They can sacrifice anything and everything for that. Economy, education and development More

Internal dialogue

While much blood has spilled over the last twenty years and there seems no end to this bloodshed, it is time for all political parties in Kashmir, whether separatists or the mainstream camp, to have an internal dialogue and find a common ground and present a workable plan to solve the long standing Kashmir More
