THE TALE OF INTIMIDATION OF KASHMIR AND BEGINNING OF FREEDOM COMBATS

In Her Distress, amidst bloodshed and withering lives,

Our beloved motherland Kashmir,

Glad to see her blessed sons sacrificing their lives amidst the Tyranny

Inspiring every nook and corner to stand and cry out,

“Oh! Thee beloved Kashmir, we would struggle, we would fight, we would protest, surely we will, till we don’t end all this agony”.

Bright sun peeping out from the majestic mountains displaying its beauty in the rippling water of Dal, the vale of Kashmir enchanting the holy verses of Quran with the hymns of Sufi saints in the mosques, the wind enamoring the mellifluous songs of birds and myriads of hopes entering clandestinely in the secluded valley KASHMIR, nothing as such has changed from the past few days but has there been any change???? Yes of course there has been a change, a remarkable change, a change of cognizance among the Kashmiris which truly has changed the outlook of Kashmir from “THE DARK KASHMIR” to “THE AWAKENING KASHMIR”.

All along the history of Kashmir, people here have faced all kinds of turmoils, may that be fake encounters, harassments, bomb explosions, bullet firings, or even the custodial killings and now the grisly politics of central government and Jammuties especially the BJP on seizing 100 acres of the Forest land on the pretext of Sri Amarnath shrine board which neither belongs to them nor to the government. The recent uprising has truly been an eye opener for the Kashmiris. One simply can’t turn deaf and blind to what is happening and what caused it….

MAY 28 2008, the congress-PDP government transfers 100 acres of forest land to SASB. PDP MLA and minister of forests Qazi Afzal sign the file. June 28, Coalition partner PDP withdraws support to congress led government. July 7, Azad government resigns and RSS affiliated AYSS calls for an economic blockade in the region. All this petty politics has led to the prevailing conditions and now what we saw….

The gruesome image of Political diplomacy and its instability, the use of brutal forces by the security personals, the economical blockade by the extremist Jammuties, the killings of innocent youths, the use of expired tear gases, the use of petrol bombs by the Jammuties on truck drivers. What next…..More than 50 killings, 1000s of people with critical injuries, curfews , shootouts, pathetic conditions of injured youths in hospitals with insignificant provisions and medicines and now the use of brutal forces on the innocent citizens...

People cant remain now sielent.The recent uprising had a multifaceted importance in the sense that it had “A COSMOPOLITAN IMPACT”. Right from uploading the videos on YOUTUBE, presentation of ideas through blogging to the recent addition of real gory pictures of Kashmir’s suffering in greaterkashmir.asia; people all over the world are being acknowledged with the truth. New York Times, The Boston, The guardian, all the reputed newspapers around the globe presented the real image of happenings in this valley. Surely Truth can’t be concealed now?

What next, we could see “young protesters were with “AZADI” inscribed on their forehead, Thousands of women on streets protested and marched ahead amidst the firings of tear gases by the security forces, people on bikes were with green and black flags shouting “hum kya chatay azadi, Naray takbeer ALLAHUAKBAR!”, people with “mashals” on streets protested during night and beat the tin roofs to mark the complete blackout”. Tailors, cloth merchants, painters, drivers, all worked day and night preparing the new prospect of struggle, painting on the streets , walls, the graffiti with freedom slogans, preparing flags inscribed with “ALLAHUAKBAR and LA ILLAHA ILLAL LAH” without even charging a single penny” ,volunteers on relief operations all around providing provisions to the protesters and the needy”.

Isn’t this a beginning, a beginning of a new Struggle to see A FREE AWAKENED KASHMIR ….A Kashmir where voices are not burked, where bullets and bombs don’t meddle the silence, where innocents are not killed, where people work day and night without any harassments, where only peace prevails….IT IS A DREAM TO BE FULFILLED IN NEAR FUTURE….A DREAM OF FREE UNCHAINED KASHMIR.. If this is not to be realized then u are a human with dead soul....

please let us live!!!!
