JAMMU BATTLES FOR INDIA AND A DEMOCRACY OF EQUALITY
It is instead recognition that the people of Jammu may have started 'India's Revolution', which would secure equal consideration for all Indian citizens and ensure nationalism from people of all its regions, castes and religions.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT LAND STUPID!!!!!!
Article 370 of Indian constitution has proved to be a monumental folly. By giving more autonomy to the valley, as asked by Kashmiri Muslim leadership at the time, Nehru further alienated the already alienated Muslims of the valley. Article 370 has kept Kashmir insulated and allowed the separatist movement to grow stronger.

Jammu Uprising
Now, for the first time in 20 years since the rise of terrorism, Jammu people have risen in protest against this grave insult to their religious sensitivities. Pandits have lent their wholehearted support and, except for a few well-known compulsive leaders with a penchant to steal the limelight and see themselves in the press at every possible opportunity, they have remained discreet and allowed the Sangharsh Samiti to lead from the front, which is as it should be in our own interest.

WHAT THE INDIAN MEDIA DOES NOT KNOW OR HIDES FROM
The Indian media has been featuring news and talk shows on the situation but to those who are knowledgeable, one is shocked by the level of naivety existing or displayed by the anchors in giving out the news or conducting the debates. They continually portray as if injustices have been done to the Kashmiri Muslims and as if they are disenfranchised and more power and doles will bring them to the Indian side.

SEDBAB A Brief Biography
"Sages and Saints of Kashmir" SEDBAB was very simple, affectionate and calm by nature. He was known for his simplicity and smiling nature. His frequent smile was his trademark as he responded everyone with a smile. To a casual visitor he hardly showed any signs of sainthood. He wore the aspect of a common Kashmiri Pandit of those days, a large turban with a shining face conspicuous with a huge TILAK on his forehead.

Bloody 1990 & now
It is preposterous to promote the sinister idea of 'azadi' under these circumstances when there is already very little left for the separatists to please their masters abroad.

Mediaeval Kashmir Historiography
When did Muslims in Kashmir begin to write history? This question cannot be answered precisely because of the loss of at least three early Farsi histories mentioned in later historical record. We are told that one Mulla Naderi, living at the court of Sultan Zainu?l-?Abidin (A.D. 1450), was a court historian and had written the history of his patron.

Imported Timepiece
With a broken heart I left the place. The two top-like spares I kept hiding lest somebody at home sees them. The master proved his worth and workmanship. Even after three years of repair by him, the timepiece is working all right and showing time accurately.

NO PLAN, JUST MUSINGS
Strange! Fellow Muslims with whom we spend lives disowned us and stopped to recognize us. None came in our support and the state government and administration was hand in glove; complicit, as the so called Mujahideen worked on their agenda of ethnic cleansing of the Hindu religious minorities from Kashmir.

What Do We Want?
I find it strange that when the central government calls for a meeting on Kashmir issue there is not even a single organization of Kashmiri Pundits who represent the community at these meetings. In the end it is the terrorists and communal politicians who decide what happens to our land, and all we do is shout slogans at Jantar Mantar

THE OTHER SIDE OF IT
This is a clinched truth ? we as Indians are not exactly proud of our bad roads with pot holes, corrupt bureaucracy, inefficient police and chair adhering politicians. What we indisputably are or were proud of is our social fabric which weaves the warps of harmony and wafts of commitment; the end result is a warm cocoon of security called Home.

Kailash Manasarovar Yaatra
Hindus worship Mt. Kailash (or Rudravase) as the abode of Lord Shiva and Uma Parvati (Divine mother of the Universe, Shakti). Its exceptional isolation and peculiar contours of black granite give it the appearance of Shiva Linga placed on a lotus pedestal. For Hindus a journey to Kailash is considered the ultimate Yaatra due to both the difficulty of reaching it and the level of sanctity attached to it.
