The comments in...Kashmiri are adept at double talk. The comments in the blogs totally expose your double standards. Your so called Islamic countries are in ruins, because of bigotry of mullahs and absence of dialogue and democracy. In contrast India is a Secular democratic republic, where freedom of speech and religion is not only guranteed but also respected. It is because of our broader outlook that we are moving ahead to become a economic superpower. Now tell me which country in this world allows its soil to be used for anti national slogans, abuse of its national flag and open speeches of seccession. It is our democratic ethos enshrined in our constitution which gives you the freedom to have your say. But that does not mean that we shall allow this beautiful valley to become next battle ground of Islamic jihadis and jeopardize the stability and peace in Indian subcontinent. Be assured India cannot and will not allow Kashmir to become another Pakistan/Afganistan and leave innocent Kashmiris at the mercy of mad mullahs who use Islam as political weapon of hate. My advice to my Kashmiri brothers is embrace the ideals of democracy, secularism, economic liberalization for which India stands and move forward with the rest of India on a path of peace, progress and economic well being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172971847042807146.post-4940478179976920852008-09-03T02:06:00.000-07:002008-09-03T02:06:00.000-07:00Dear Moderator, you have done a great job by putti...Dear Moderator, you have done a great job by putting photographs of gross human rights violations on your blog. What other proof does one need than this. Kudos to our daredevil journalists who have risked their lives and collected this fine evidence of whatever we say. We don't simply flash misconcieved facts in air as is done by our Pandit brothers in their blogs. This pictures tell the story of a thousand words and vindicate our stand viz-a-viz freedom for Kashmir. No doubt there are people within our state who due to some reasons known best to them want to stay put with India but with greater "dignity" as they put it. To make it clear they want more autonomy for the state and keep quite. But incidents like those in the recent past make even such liberals demand AZAADI from the clutches of a ruthless and brute ruler like India. Even autonomy loving people after seeing the treatment being meted out to their children, elderly, pregnant women, truck drivers, resistance leader want to join the slogan of Azaadi. This is the outcome of actions like economic blockade. No concious Kashmiri would tolerate Indian occupation after such disgusting activities of Jammuites.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7172971847042807146.post-71255084859984107752008-09-02T14:23:00.000-07:002008-09-02T14:23:00.000-07:00Kashmir has been turned into a graveyard, a houndi...Kashmir has been turned into a graveyard, a hounding ground for marauding canines. There is saying in kashmiri DRAAG TSHALIH PAR DAAG TSHALINA.The famine will go but stains will remain. If people think by coercion, bribes, false promises and division, they will make us to forget the 40 martyrs of just in last month, they are misled-For centuries this flame of freedom could not be extinguished –We were and we are a free nation no body can rule our hearts. See any map of world made in other than of pak and India.
