I have no political basis or acknowledgment as such but I can’t stay as a meek spectator seeing Kashmir turning worse than a hell.18 years of military control does mean something. Thousands killed, Infact brutally murdered, thousands disappeared, tortured, injured and then what else remains to be done. A bullet in the chest is better than surrender to these humiliations. The thing is Indian government is trying to silence our woes and cries! Where is the government that the people have voted for? Did they vote for food, water and the rest or they voted to count dead bodies on the roadside. We should salute them how they mustered their courage to come out of the streets and cry for the freedom. Not surprisingly Kashmir is all a playground now, a theatre of bunkers, barricades, check points and army camps and there are just bullets around. They called the British Empire as tyrannical but how tyrannous is it to deploy one lakh soldiers in the whole India six lac armed men in uniform Kashmir alone. Their mathematics isn’t that weak even. I don’t infact really know what Freedom means. But I want to see a Kashmir where there are no unprovoked killings, where people live with honor and dignity, where life has a value. I was just a child when Kashmir came up with the upsurge of militancy. 20 years have passed since but we still cry for freedom. Where is freedom???
