What is happening?

Kashmir has been almost shut for 28 days now during which all business establishments,educational institutions,Govt. Offices have remained closed as people were protesting against the human rights violation in Kashmir. Today after a relatively peaceful week unconfirmed reports of Killing of a civilian in uptown area of Chanpora shook the people again.What is happening in the Vale of Saints, the place for which the Mughal emperor Jehangir had once said:
"Agar Firdous ba roye e zameen ast
Hameen asto Hameen asto hameen ast

If there is paradise on the face of earth
Indeed It is here it is here it is here"

The valley at present is facing a humanitarian crises because of the genocide going on in the vale. In past 28 days almost 18 people have been martyred most of them teenagers including a 9yr boy and a 24yr female. In past one month reports say almost 1500 youth have been arrested and booked under various cases just because they were protesting against the atrocities of the indian armed forces.The State Govt. is using every manoeuvre to suppress the justified voice. The state police recently booked Mirwaiz South Kashmir Moulvi Yasir under the draconian law of PSA for calling "Anantnag" as "Islambad" which shows their frustration.

Mumkin nahi ki sard'e woh khaaq e arjumand" Alama Iqbal(RA)

The Govt. seems unmoved by the crises as they are holding to the myth that the protests are being instigated by the people on the other side of the border but if we take a look at the current situation of Pakistan this claim seems inappropriate as Pakistan has itself become a victim of terrorism most probably backed by RAW,MOSSAD and CIA along with the poor leadership of 10% Zardari. The seriousness of Govt. to solve the crises in Kashmir could clearly be determined by keeping in view the statement given by Former CM of J&K and the current Misnister of New and Renewable Energy in central Govt. Farooq Abdullah who was asked a question regarding the prevailing situation in Kashmir and the answer came as shock "GOLI MARO KASHMIR KO."

The sentiment of "AAZADI" has been transferred to the next generation, the generation that has seen the Vale in the worst conditions.These are the "Children of Conflict" as they have witnessed too much of bloodshed and atrocities, they were brought up in fear. They have witnessed there loved ones being murdered, they have witnessed the inhumane and gruesome acts like the Kunanposhpora, Handwara etc. mass rape cases were they watched the chastity of their sisters being violated. They not have only fear but anger hidden in their bosoms and now that fear has been overthrown by the anger.

"I shall not cease to fight against thee and thy people until either you leave my country or I leave my life. And I swear by Him who knows what is in men's hearts that if my hands were not bound this very moment, I would fight you with my bare hands, old and broken as I am.." Lion of the desert Umar Mukhtar(RA)

The downtown area of Srinagar has been keeping alive the struggle for a long time and has been turned into "Gaza Strip of Kashmir" by the authorities. The people of the area are facing an acute shortage of essential commodities and few days back the relief caravan that was on its way to Shehar e Khaas was stopped at Sonwar just like Gaza Flotilla raid by Pisrael. I salute the perseverance and dedication of the people of Kashmir in general and the people of downtown in particular.

Jis riziq se aati ho parvaaz mein kotahi" Alama Iqbal(RA)

If we monitor the situation closely it seems the leadership has become irrelevant to some extent as the younger generation find it hard to trust them.Since 2008 younger generation has started to take the matters in their own hands as the leadership failed to take the 2008 mass uprising to its logical end.The division of leadership does not only harm the cause but it has started to create gap among the people as well and if we do not end this division I fear that the time will come when the gap will be too large to fill.
