One bad act mars the profile of a private bank

This is in response to a problem that we commonly face while dealing with the people manning government offices; I mean behaviour. The attitude of a clerk in an office is so distasteful that it makes you regret the time you approach him. Though he is doing his duty, but the way he behaves makes one believe More

ZGM article

 This refers to ZG Muhammad’s recent article on Kashmir, “Today is the day”. His writings have an influence on the public opinion. It’s true that there are stories within stories. The columnist has rightly quoted that the last Maharaja had an urge to remain independent and also quoted Lord Birdwood More

Commitment must

 This refers to the letter “And everything we had stands collapsed.”   I completely disagree with the views expressed in the letter with regard to Kashmir crisis. Firstly, the author says that leaders made Kashmiris to protest and got them killed. It was a spontaneous reaction from the More

Total insecurity

 This refers to the article “The valley of tears” by Anjum Zamaruda Habib (GK Oct. 25). The article has clearly described the current situation in Kashmir. The place has changed from paradise to hell. There is nobody in the world who is ready to listen to the people of Kashmir. Kashmiris are More

Global voice

 Arundhati Roy is a global voice. She has won our hearts by saying that Kashmir has never been an integral part of India and that Kashmiris were suffering. She has spoken the truth which India didn’t like. I was happy to see her going to Shopian to meet the family of Asiya Jan and Neelofar.

Good article

 This refers to the article titled ‘’As aliens visit earth’’ (GK, 25th Oct) by Uzair Ashraf Mir. I liked the article. He has made use of outer-space creatures and shown how they are better than human beings. He has mixed the fiction with political and social background. Anam Khursheed

Yields nothing

 Our leaders have been framing hartal calendars since June. We have been paralyzed inside our houses for nearly five months. It doesn’t seem to provide any breakthrough. The chalo calls have not been result oriented but have made our life, education and economy go from bad to worse. The national More

Which roots?

 A Kashmiri Pandit organization has filed a case against Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Arundhati Roy. I believe Roy and Geelani did nothing wrong. They just stated the facts and narrated the sufferings of the people of Kashmir. I fail to understand when the so-called security forces have unleashed More

We care

 This refers to Dr Abdul Ahad's Travelogue 'A Visit to Great Britain' (GK 29th October). It is not right what Dr Ahad has talked about Kashmiri Muslims in UK. All Kashmiris in Britain are looking forward and working to urge India and Pakistan to initiate a peace process with regard to resolution More

Respect feelings

 I salute Arundhati Roy for speaking the truth about Kashmir. It should be an eye-opener for everyone who denies that Kashmir is not the integral part of India. They should introspect and respect the aspirations and feelings of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.Feroz Paray More
