Don’t blame intellectuals for your fault!

The JKLF leader  Yasin Malik is grossly mistaken when he says that intellectuals can’t be impartial. Let me remind him that it is not mandatory for them to be impartial.

Traffic `weak'

This refers to observance of Traffic Week by the Traffic Department. It is just an eyewash, given the fact that the traffic scenario is deteriorating in the state with each passing day. Every day people lose lives in road accidents. The Traffic Department has miserably failed to regulate traffic on roads More

Coaching centres

This refers to debate about coaching centres. I believe we are unnecessarily criticizing coaching centres. Without tuition, it would be extremely difficult for a majority of students to pass classes like 10th and 12th. It is not that the teachers in government schools are not teaching properly, but the More

Delaying justice

Aijaz ul Haque's column “Perverting justice” was a nice read. The state government seems to be hell bent upon delaying justice, and ultimately denying it.

End dichotomy

There seems to be a serious dichotomy between the ranks of Army. Recently an Army officer said that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act was required in Jammu and Kashmir.

On prowl

This time around wild animals are on prowl in Kashmir valley especially in North Kashmir areas. It is going unnoticed by the authorities as Darbar is on the other side. It is quite tragic to learn about the death of people, especially innocent children, every passing day. It is inevitable that people More

Freedom sentiment

This refers to a recent article by Dr. Wasim Ahmad titled “The meaningof Aazadi.” The author must know that India did not get freedom because its people were socially mature.

Coaching benefits

This refers to the articles reflecting the role played by the coaching centers. People who are blaming should be aware that coaching centers have played an important role in shaping the future of our students. It is unrealistic to blame teachers who put their heart and soul to teach their students. If More
