The institution has received about 7,880 applications since 1994 for giving full descriptions regarding such plants as well as identity, birth, botanical information and family structure of such plants and its benefits as well as “we have been given letter of originty, Phytosanitary information & letter of authenticity , with the result such fellows have been absolutely helped in carrying  over their research forward”. Sheikh Gulzaar  added.

As we know, Kashmir is one of the cold region of Himalaya and the season of valley is not trustworthy here remains, cold temperature, snowfall with the result the public  are suffering and every year huge losses  are being faced by us as well as research job is also being  affected, “Due to non-availability of high-tech green houses, so many valuable plants dies due to extensive heat or cold and we requested so many  times to Government  to provide us  proper place near high altitude so that we may be  able to cultivate other countries medicinal , wild flowers and fruit plants here also”  he added.

 “I have also secured hundreds of seeds from Europe, Middle East and Africa and have planted them in different areas and have obtained seeds from them as well as medicines, but it is difficult as the said seeds are only being sowing in such areas where the atmosphere will be neat and clean. Said Sheikh Gulzaar 

Sheikh Gulzaar further added that Government of Jammu and Kashmir is not helping us. “Till date government of Jammu and Kashmir has not helped us in any way, we have got on lab or other high-tech facilities so that our job will become easy”,

Research institutions, Universities and organizations should identify the problems of our agriculture; we lack the speed in all situations.

He further added that we are dependent upon organic fertilizers i.e. biomass, peat, manure plant leaves, tree barks but to obtain such items “we have to work hard as such the public is not hesitating to purchase our seeds and our target remains always upon such medicinal plants which is having demand in the market for ever”.

“Threat is not the availability of the fertile land but current tendency to go away from agriculture and converting the land for other proposes. He said “Lack of direct access to market place, involvement of the middle man and lack of man power due to the younger generation choosing other professions for better marginal & small farmers.” He said

To invest for upliftment of J&K “We have to make focus on Kashmir Himalaya for cultivating such plants to obtain medicines” which can be used for Cancer disease also and second main focus will be Food Technology as our country is presently facing heavy danger of Cancer and shortage of food.

Prof. Dr. Sheikh Jalal

Prof. Dr. Sheikh JALAL

India's eminent cardiologist Prof. Dr. Sheikh Jalal died after cardiac arrest in the All-India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) here on Saturday, a month after he was critically injured in a suspected militant attack in his hometown Pampore, near Srinagar.

The attack occurred on July 18, when Dr. Sheikh Jalal was on his way to attend a condolence meeting, after examining patients for free in his clinic. Both his police guards died on the spot and the assassins decamped with their arms and ammunition.

However, no militant outfit has claimed responsibility for the attack in which his eyes, chest, lungs and other organs were severely damaged. Hospital sources told The Hindu that Dr. Sheikh Jalal developed infection in the lungs which led to multiple organ failure.

Dr. Sheikh  Jalal was Director of the prestigious tertiary care hospital, Sher-e-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), in Srinagar for three years after heading the Department of Cardiology and working as Dean of the Medical Faculty for over 15 years. It was at the AIIMS, that he had got his degree of Doctor of Medicine in Cardiology in the 1980s.

Until his death, he served as Vice-President of the Diplomate of National Board in India.

The body, embalmed after post-mortem, will be flown to Srinagar early on Sunday. Family sources said the funeral would be performed at Pampore.

Union Health Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, along with his wife, visited the AIIMS to console Dr. Sheikh Jalal's wife Masooda Rajpuri, a retired Registrar of SKIMS, a deemed university.

Political leaders and the intelligentsia in Jammu and Kashmir described the death of Dr. Sheikh Jalal as an irreparable loss to the State, while the medical fraternity is shocked. “His contribution to infrastructure development at SKIMS stands unparalleled,” Head of CVTS Ghulam Nabi Lone, said.

Dr. Jalal is the second senior faculty member of SKIMS who has been shot dead by suspected militants in J&K, after the fatal attack on eminent cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon Abdul Ahad Guru in 1991-92.

Dr. Guru, who had returned from Buffalo in the U.S. to serve the people in his State, was shot dead a day after he was kidnapped from SKIMS. Known for his proximity to the pioneering guerrilla group Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), Dr. Guru, it is widely believed, was eliminated by a rival militant outfit.

However, the retired bureaucrat Wajahat Habibullah, who was Divisional Commissioner of Kashmir in 1992-93 and who later gained proximity to separatists like JKLF chief Yasin Malik, added a new dimension to the episode when he wrote in a book that Dr. Guru's murder was engineered by a government agency which later got his assassin eliminated in a covert operation.

The attack occurred on July 18, when Dr. Jalal was on his way to attend a condolence meeting, after examining patients for free in his clinic

Third Front in Offing in the off-stream camp

SRINAGAR: In a significant development that could shake the political skeletons of Pro-freedom politics in the state of Jammu & Kashmir, Kashmir Media Watch through its reliable sources has learnt that most probably a Third Front’ of pro-freedom camp is quite high on agenda in the off-stream political heads and is likely going to be actualised soon reports Kashmir Media Watch.

Pertinently, these developments come at a time when one of the main factions of Hurriyat (Hurriyat M) is witnessing tremendous internal strife after the controversial statement of Professor Abdul Gani Bhat with reference to United Nations Resolution and its contemporary relevance and applicability to the Kashmir imbroglio.

Kashmir Media Watch has also received inputs that prominent pro-freedom leaders like Azam Inquilabi, Shabir Ahmad Shah, Engineer Hilal Ahmad War, Nayeem Ahmad Khan, Javid Ahmad Mir, Hakeem Rashid, Mohammad Yousuf Naqash et al are going to be the prominent faces of the said ‘Third Front’.

It is to be reminded here that for quiet sometime now, there have been quite hectic political to float a pro-freedom Third Front in Jammu and Kashmir which as per the analysts is a consequence of the inertias of the two Hurriyat Factions and their failures to yield any positive results. The Third Front is hence expected to act as a more dynamic platform than the other two factions of Hurriyat.
 

The political analysts also suggest that finally for the first time in the pro-freedom history of Kashmir the ‘Third Front‘seems to be taking a concrete shape.

BILAWAL BHUTTO INVITED ON WAR’S WEDDING

India will Fail in Kashmir as U.S. in Afghanistan: Imran Khan

Buy Goji berry

Lahore: It was a real show of power from the cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan who with his 100,000 flag-waving supporters rallying near the Minar-e-Pakistan monument, saw himself establishing as a real force in Pakistani politics, reports SiliconIndia (31/2011)

Talking up the issue of the rights of Kashmiris at the heavily electrified political rally, he said the Indian Army will fail in Kashmir as the U.S. army did in Afghanistan. "Did the Americans succeed in Afghanistan? Is the Indian Army more powerful than the U.S. Army? When the Americans couldn't succeed, how can you succeed with 700,000 troops that are involved in excesses?," he asks as the crowd cheered.

"No army has been able to solve any country's problems at any time," he said demanding that the Indian troops should be withdrawn from Jammu and Kashmir. The chief of Tehreek-e-Insaf also asked Hindustan to give the people of Kashmir their right to self-determination. He said his party would "stand with the Kashmiri brothers and speak for their rights at all forums".

Khan who founded his political party 15 years ago is trying hard to translate his fame into votes. Focusing on the core issues in the country such as corruption, lack of education, rising prices, inflation and unemployment, the cricketing legend is expanding his political base ahead of the 2013 general election. A poll conducted by the U.S.-based Pew Research Center back in June sees Khan as the most popular political figure in Pakistan.

Paradise on Fire: Violation of Human Rights in Kashmir – by Sanman Kaur Grewal

Following armed hostilities in 1947-1949 between India and Pakistan and intervention by the international community, the region once known as the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir was divided. Commencing no later than October 1947, the Kashmir dispute has proved the most protracted territorial dispute in the United Nations era. An implacable, deadly struggle is going on half a world away in India’s mainly Muslim territory of Kashmir, where Indian military and Para-military forces are trying to crush forces seeking independence or union with Pakistan. Continuous conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir is leading to violation of human rights, birth of rebels and destruction of peace in the name of unity and integrity of India.

Kashmir’s political status has been in dispute since partition of sub-continent on August 15, 1947. During British rule over India, the state of Jammu and Kashmir was one of more than 50 autonomous princely states owing allegiance to Britain. At the time of independence, the rulers were advised to join, by means of an instrument of accession, either of the two new dominations, India or Pakistan, bearing in mind their state’s geographical position and the religion of their inhabitants. In October 1947, prompted a local Muslim uprising that drew armed support from Pakistan, the Hindu Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir chose to place his mostly- Muslim subjects under the jurisdiction of India, and then called in Indian troops who recaptured most of his lost territory.

In January 1949, a United Nations-brokered cease-fire left Kashmir divided by a military cease-fire line (Line of Control) into the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan controlled Kashmir known as Azad Kashmir and the Northern Territories. . Shakti Bhatt  states “Indian government has steadfastly held on to its official stand that Kashmir is undisputedly an integral part of India and Pakistan on the other hand blames India of acquiring it through fraud and violence“ (2003, p. 215). For past 60 years, Indian and Pakistani forces have continuously confronted each other over this tense cease-fire line, with their bitter rivalry exploding into war in 1965 and 1971 (Kargil war), and nearly providing the flashpoint for a third conflict in 2001 possibly involving nuclear weapons.

Although both sides contributed in spreading violence in Kashmir, but the violence caused by India’s military and the Para- military forces allied with them, is even more destructive and abhorrent. Unlike any other great democracy, Indian soldiers are not held to any higher state of conduct. In Kashmir, poorly trained military troops are torturing civilians by extra judicial killings, murders and rapes which is leading to spread of lawless state terrorism. It’s surprising that India still claims itself to be world’s largest democracy.

India’s human rights violations in Kashmir are systematic, deliberate, and officially sanctioned. India has never prosecuted even one of its 700,000 military and paramilitary personnel there for human right abuses, and its laws grant legal immunity for any actions aimed at suppressing Kashmiri dissent or support for self-determination. Information compiled by various human rights organizations like London based Amnesty International, New York-based Asia Watch and other humanitarian organizations establishes that a massive complain of brutal oppression has been launched by the Indian army since January 1990. Various estimates are given of the death toll of civilians so far. Making due allowance for unintended exaggerations, the figure into tens of thousands. Countless individuals had been maimed and thousands of women molested and assaulted. Not a word of condemnation has been uttered at the United Nations; not even a call on India to cease and desist from committing its atrocities.

The overwhelming presence of Indian military and paramilitary forces in Kashmir reminds Kashmiris that they are not free and are being enslaved by Indian forces. This feeling of being slave leads to the birth of rebels in the valley. These rebellions are no other than common people who are victim of continuous torture and abuse by the military and paramilitary forces of Indian government. These people are killed ruthlessly as the government recognizes them as terrorists, but government never wants to accept that it itself is responsible for the birth of rebels in the valley. It’s very natural that after tolerating continuous violation of human rights, one raises his voice to achieve his basic freedom. Usually targets of military shots are common people (shopkeepers, children, women, school going students, etc.) who had not even touched any weapon or something that would spread terror or any kind of violence. They are being shot and then left for bleeding, after their death they are being recognized as terrorists by the so-called democratic nation.

The following excerpt has been taken from the journal Pro and Con (2004, pp. 264-267). In 2003, President Parvez Musharraf addressed to the UN General Assembly “India cites cross-border terrorism in order to reject dialogue. It knows full well that the Kashmiri struggle is indigenous. It is India that violates international law by refusing to implement Security Council Resolutions and by perpetrating gross and consistent violations of human rights in Kashmir. Once again, I invite India to join Pakistan in a sustained dialogue to resolve the Kashmir dispute.” In reply to the president of Pakistan, Indian President Mr.Atal Bihari Vajpayee had nothing to say except “We totally refuse to let terrorism become a tool of blackmail. When the cross-border terrorism stops, or when we eradicate it, we can have a dialogue with Pakistan on the other issues between us.” This conversation clearly proves that India does not want to look at problems of Kashmir; instead, it just wants to keep hold on Kashmir forcibly forever.

The role of press in Kashmir is also an important topic in continuous dispute. The Indian press is a great reason behind the fact that inspite of high scale violations of human rights in Kashmir the public opinion remained silent up to large extent. In her book, Kashmir: A Tragedy of Errors, Tavleen Singh has gone so far as to state that the press was the main reason why the alienation of Kashmir began. There is no doubt in the fact that reporting fairly on Kashmir situation is really dangerous as the Indian government does not want to represent its true picture in front of the world. So press is just working like a slave for the government. This is the reason behind regular news on Kashmir just focus on death of military personnel or militants. No newspaper gives the account of death of ordinary people in the valley or rapes and murders.

A south Indian writer, Teresa Joseph (2000, pp. 53) states “Although human rights organizations, both national as well as international, and also other media sources have documented in detail gross human rights violations in Kashmir by both the militants and the security forces, the general reader does not get any such picture of the situation from the mainstream Indian press.” So it can be easily concluded that Indian press has never tried to figure out the true picture of Kashmir.

The issue of Kashmir is becoming more complicated day by day. Since 1989, around 1 lakh Kashmiri people have been killed in fake encounters and this number dwarfs the killings in Northern Ireland, Palestine, Bosnia, and Kossovo which have brought the world to tears and revulsion. Killings in Kashmir have become so commonplace that they are reported like car accidents in the United States. There is nobody to reprobate Indian government for making the beautiful Kashmir a hell. The most perplexing phenomenon regarding this situation is that it has been allowed to arise and persist in a territory which, under international law, does not belong to any member state of the United Nations and whose status is yet to be decided by the people of its land. It is interesting to note that when Kashmir issue erupted in 1947-48, the United States of America stated that future status of Kashmir will be decided by people of the territory but now while Kashmir is undergoing such a miserable condition, the United States is silent on this issue. Actually India declares itself the world’s most populous democracy and offers support to America in pursuing terrorists. In exchange, the United States remains silent when India kills innocent Kashmiris who crave self-determination and its achievement through peaceful protest.

If the silence persists, there would be only this explanation that a Kashmiri life is viewed as less worthy than other lives. Indian government has given complete rights to its military forces to kill or abuse people in Kashmir in whatever way they want to in order to suppress the movement for freedom. After killing the ordinary people, government states them as terrorists and there is nobody to investigate the causes and effects of conditions caused in Kashmir. As long as India continues to isolate Kashmir from the rest of the world, it will never end violent acts on that unfortunate land and restore the rights and freedom of the people of Kashmir. Brown and Davidson suggest that “The U.S. should recognize that the Kashmir dilemna is an instance in foreign policy in which there is a national interest, the diffusing of a potential nuclear war, and a humanitarian concern, ending the murders of civilians by atleast one side of the hostility” (1994, p. 2)

The following questions are on mind of every Kashmiri person: For how many years will children in Kashmir grow up in fear and shadow of guns of the security forces? When will they be allowed to play in kinder gardens freely as the normal children do? How many Kashmiri girls are still to be raped or molested before achieving freedom? What number of women is required to be widowed before living a peaceful life in Kashmir? Is there anybody who can answer the above questions? The Indian government seriously needs to think about the answer of above questions. The solution of sufferings of these sufferings is both urgent and vital. It is far more serious area than any other area in the world. For finding a right solution of problem, three parties need to interact with each other and create an environment of understanding among them. These three parties are the Government of India, the Government of Pakistan and the Government of Kashmir. Although, the most important party is the people of Kashmir as their decision will be a right decision for humanity and human freedom. The only thing that governments of India and Pakistan needs to forget is their self interests and try to make the life of people of Kashmir beautiful by giving them their fundamental rights and freedom for life.

Human rights group makes startling disclosures on unmarked graves

Rameez Makhdoomi/Ajaz Ahmad War/Sheikh Gulzaar

Srinagar : In a startling disclosure made by the International Forum for Justice/Human Rights Forum J&K, Mohammad Ahsan Untoo, Chairman, with reference to letter written to JK Human Rights Commission has disclosed with list that the Police Investigation Wing of Jammu and Kashmir  Human Rights Commission (JKHRC) has only visited 38 graveyards across north Kashmir and found 2730 graves, out of which 2156 are still unidentified. But the fact of the matter according to this forum is that in Lolab area alone there are more than 38 graveyards which have unmarked graves and mass graves.

Another startling disclosure made by the International Forum for justice/ Human Rights Forum J&K is that the security agencies in the last 22 years have been responsible for killing many civilians in fake encounters. In Devar village of Lolab area, the said human rights forum states that they have documented 37 cases of fake encounter killings, where according to International forum for justice human rights j&k ,33 local civilians were killed in fake encounters and branded as foreign militants. Also 4 local Kashmiri militants from Devar have been killed in fake encounters and branded as foreign militant.

Another ground breaking disclosure made by this human rights group is that amongst the victims of fake encounter killings one of the striking cases is of Kareem War (65) S/O Aziz War R/O Dilbagh, Devar, Lolab, who was killed in a fake encounter by 18 Rashtriya Rifles (8 Sector – Cherkoot) and Special Operations Group of J&K Police and was branded as Afghani militant. Shockingly, three of his sons Baktiyar War (24), Mohammad Shareif War (21), Lateef Ahmed War (27) were also killed by the same agencies. Mohammad Shareif War was branded as Bangladeshi militant, Lateef War was branded as Pakistani militant and Baktiyar War was claimed as unidentified militant. Four members of this family have been killed in fake encounters and branded as nationals of 3 different countries. The father and his three sons who have been killed in the fake encounters, is not the only injustice which has happened to the family, but Kareem War’s other son Sharief ud Din War was disappeared by army in 1998. According to International forum for justice human rights forum J&K,the family members of Kareem War are still awaiting justice, even after truth has been established according to the information gathered by International Forum for justice human rights J&K.

The revelations made by this human rights group certainly are quiet sensational and will demand answers from those who are at helm of affairs.

A tribute to Martyar Mushtaq Ahmad Lone by Ed. Sheikh Gulzaar

Mushtaq Ahmad Lone

Obviously we all have some day to leave forever, though one today and the another tomorow. The conception is natural and final.

Long ago, in the same way, a beautiful star was born which with the intensity twinkled, fascinated and got shrouded in the ultima thule of the horizons. Na, Na, the story is not in any way all about a billion year old burnt star of some globular cluster, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) discovered. The star here is our beloved Mushtaq Ahmad Lone who only a year back reached the destination. Whenever the regional history would be rewind, Mushtaq's precious and constructive contribution is certain to remember. And one desiring the unity of the Muslims can find Mushtaq in the pages of history always dreamt in his life of only day to come  when the Muslims would not have slit one another's throat but to exchange their true love. When the brothers have one another's tears to wipe off. Safety of the Muslims, prosperity of the Muslims and the understanding  among the Muslim Nations was  the dream Mushtaq Ahmad Lone wished come true. Whether Sarajevo, Central Asia, Kashmir, palestine, Afghanistan, Libya or Mogadishu the cosmopolitan used to say are the issues of the Muslim world and the body is to feel pain of its severely bruised organs.

Contrary to sweet dreams of his parents the son Mushtaq placed  all worldly advantages aside and  joined  a Holy mission to serve the Muslim cause with the  unique power of his pen. So, besides working for many dailies, Wahdat-e-Milli, an  Urdu Weekly presenting news and views was finally launched. Every  Edition of the News & views. Weekly was fund showering to the bruised healing touch. Rightly  some  one said the sincerer heart has to bleed more. Same  was the case  with the Wahdat-e-Milli Editor. Inspite of the  criticismfrom many  quarters, even the so called intellectual, and  weak financial position  Mushtaq said. was never up his mission  of his life. The Wahdat-e-Milli  turned  from offset to the litho, yet kept pace  with the cruel time. "Off course not money  but my paper gives me  what is not  in everyone's fate. I am blessed by it with the satisfaction. The satisfaction that is very hard to get in one's life ", Mushtaq often said.

The garden of a series of hopes was total shattered when the blossom was mercilessly taken away. Mushtaq Ahmad Lone ws  martyred and the story of a hot burnt star reached to an end. The star would blub the tears of blood if revealed to him all that followed the end of his missionary life of the Wahdat doctrine. Merchants  of the nation and self-styled patrons of the religion detonated  a violent bomb.They campaigned with their dirty ideas against the Martyr' burial in a shrine's vicinity inn the ancestral village of Pathan. In this age of ultra modern civilization they said the imperfect burial according to them was  responsible for a chain of natural deaths of the old people. One  is ashamed when learns about this dirty joke of the century and fears what would happen if the opportunistic westerners would also learn. Let ask this sense less Saint that by acquiring whose calibre he said so?  Does he mean to say  the Muslims vote for the regionalisim? Or if he has an another theory of the earth being under different controls? Mr. Saint, Mushtaq Ahmad Lone never told to make his tomb on the surface and does not need. Because our hearts for the same were occupied at the earliest when Mushtaq Ahmad Lone selected his fore head for:-

Terrorism will not end with Osama killing

MANGALORE: Osama Bin Laden  (54)  was killed by the American force in Pakistan on May 1,2011. The Western world and its admirers  danced   with joy.

We condemn all   terrorism. But at the same time we must also note that it is a reaction to an action.  Did they not say “Hindu terrorism” come as a reaction  to “Islamic terrorism” in India?. A major portion   of the world  any way had a different reaction.

China, the no.2 world power, had a different opinion.
In DV, we were the first to disclose   a  different version of the 9/11.  Many leading Western writers  have expressed that the 9/11 was  master-minded  by the   Mossad.  Many books have come out on the subject.

Since the West has the most powerful media it can sell   any product. That is how a major portion of the world had a different opinion on Osama killing.

However, this much can be said that terrorism will not end with Osama.
DV REFERENCE TO OSAMA BIN LADEN
DV FEb.1, 2007 p.20: “Osama did not attack WTC”.
DV Edit Oct.16, 2004: “War on terror turns into wholesale war on Muslims & converts Osama into darling of oppressed”.
DV Sept.1, 2002 p.9: “DV proves right on Osama”.
DV Oct.16, 1999 p.4: “Islamic terrorism & bin Laden”.

America is enemy number 1.

So is India still enemy number one? 

No, and I have said this publicly many times. America is enemy number 1. One decade of fighting their war has destroyed Pakistan. The enmity with India did not create the same kind of internal strife. The Kashmir issue is still very important for most Pakistanis but most Pakistanis feel that India and Pakistan are trying to reach some solution on Kashmir through peaceful talks. Some weeks back the United Jehad Council which is the umbrella organisation of all the militant groups issued a statement supporting talks. This undermined the JuD and LeT’s hard stance. The anti-India feeling is certainly fading here. Bollywood films have played a very important role in this. We have so much in common, but the trouble is we only project the short list of what is uncommon between us.

نہیں، اور میں نے یہ کئی بار کہا. امریکہ دشمن 1 نمبر ہے. ان کی جنگ لڑنے میں سے ایک دہائی سے پاکستان کو ہلاک کر ڈالا ہے. بھارت کے ساتھ دشمنی داخلی انتشار کا ایک ہی طرح کی نہیں بنایا تھا. کشمیر کا مسئلہ اب بھی ہے ، زیادہ تر پاکستانی کے لئے بہت اہم ہے لیکن سب سے زیادہ پاکستانیوں کو لگتا ہے کہ پاکستان اور بھارت کے امن مذاکرات کے ذریعے کشمیر پر کوئی حل تک پہنچنے کی کوشش کر رہے ہیں. کچھ ہفتے پہلے اقوام متحدہ جہاد کونسل جس میں تمام عسکری گروپوں کی چھتری تنظیم ہے ایک مذاکرات کی حمایت کر بیان جاری کیا. یہ کمزور جماعت الدعوة اور لشکر کے سخت موقف. بھارت مخالف جذبات ضرور دھندلاہٹ یہاں ہے. بالی وڈ فلموں کی اس میں ایک بہت اہم کردار ادا کیا ہے. ہم دونوں میں بہت ہیں ، لیکن مسئلہ یہ ہے کہ ہم صرف کیا ہم دونوں کے درمیان غیر معمولی ہے کی مختصر فہرست منصوبہ

अमेरिका दुश्मन नंबर 1 है..
इसलिए भारत को अभी भी दुश्मन नंबर एक है?
नहीं, और मैं इस सार्वजनिक रूप से कई बार कहा. अमेरिका दुश्मन नंबर 1 है. उनके युद्ध लड़ने के एक दशक पाकिस्तान को नष्ट कर दिया गया है. भारत के साथ शत्रुता आंतरिक कलह की इसी तरह का निर्माण नहीं किया. कश्मीर मुद्दे अभी भी बहुत अधिकांश पाकिस्तानियों के लिए महत्वपूर्ण है, लेकिन अधिकांश पाकिस्तानियों का मानना ​​है कि भारत और पाकिस्तान को शांतिपूर्ण बातचीत के जरिए कश्मीर पर कुछ समाधान तक पहुँचने की कोशिश कर रहे हैं. कुछ हफ्ते पहले युनाइटेड जेहाद काउंसिल जो सभी उग्रवादी गुटों की छतरी संगठन है एक वार्ता का समर्थन बयान जारी किए हैं. यह कमजोर जमात और लश्कर के कठिन रुख. भारत विरोधी भावना निश्चित रूप से लुप्त होती यहाँ है. बॉलीवुड फिल्मों में यह एक बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण भूमिका निभाई है. हम इतने आम में ज्यादा है, लेकिन परेशानी यह है कि हम केवल क्या हम दोनों के बीच असामान्य है की संक्षिप्त सूची परियोजना.

پس هند هنوز دشمن شماره یک است؟

نه، و من این بار علنا بسیاری است. امریکا دشمن شماره 1 است. یک دهه از مبارزه با جنگ خود پاکستان را نابود کرده است. دشمنی با هند انجام همان نوع منازعات داخلی را ایجاد کنیم. مسئله کشمیر هنوز هم بسیار مهم برای بسیاری از پاکستانی ها اما اغلب پاکستانی ها احساس می کنید که هند و پاکستان در حال تلاش برای رسیدن به برخی از راه حل در کشمیر از طریق مذاکرات صلح آمیز است. چند هفته پشت متحده جهاد است که شورای سازمان چتر از تمام گروه های شبه نظامی با صدور بیانیه ای حمایت سخن می گوید. این تضعیف JuD و موضع سخت بیایید. ضد هند احساس است که قطعا محو کنید. فیلم های بالیوود که نقش بسیار مهمی در این ایفا کرده است. ما چیزهای زیادی مشترک است ، اما مشکل این است که ما تنها پروژه فهرست کوتاه از آنچه که غیر معمول است بین ما.

Jammu and Kashmir armed struggle expands

Shri VT. Rajsshekar
Bangalore: Look at the big changes.Muslims masses are gradually joining Dalit and OBC parties led by Mayawati, Mulayam Singh, Lalu Parsad, Sharad Pawar etc. Muslim leadership is dying.

Remember, how Shahabuddin was once called the "Second Jinnah" by the Brahminical media as though Jinnah sahib, the greatest leader, was bad. Remember how some Hindu MPs had shouted "Jai Shri Ram" in Indian Parliament soon after the Babri Masjid demolition. Muslims of the whole country were shocked at this but the Muslim MPs of Kashmir shouted back saying Allaho Akbar.

This was the turning point. Muslims were being slowly driven to the wall. They had no further space to go. Since the Cashmiri Muslims lost all hopes and were forced to turn violent. The got the support of the Muslims from Azad kashmir, Pakistan itself and also from Afghanistan. Each organisation formed its own independent fighting front and launched armed resistance. The J&K Police, Ikhwan  Renegades,  and security forces, all muslims, were forced to fight their own brothers. Then the Indian security forces were sent from Delhi. They also met with fierce resistance. After killing many and getting killed in large numbers, they realised athat those whome they were killing were Dalits and shudra sepoys and jawans, whose brothers inside India were themselves vistims of continuous Hindu atrocities.

About the author: Shri V.T. Rajshekar, its Editor and founder, Dalit Voice, the English fortnightly, has become the country's most powerful "Voice of the Persecuted Nationalities Denied Human Rights".

A veteran journalist, formerly of the Indian Express, powerful and fearless writer, V.T. Rajshekar, had to face the wrath of the ruling class, arrested many times, several jail sentences, passport impounded and subjected to total media boycott.

Published in several Indian languages including Hindi, Dalit Voice has become the sole spokesman for the entire deprived, dehumanised lot of India. Besides the Dalits, it looks after the interests of Backward Castes (35%) and the country's three persecuted religious minorities — Muslims 15%, Christians 2.5%, and Sikhs 2.5% — all victims of the Aryan Brahminical racism. Plus the women of all sections including the Hindu women.

In the course of the last 25 years, DV has become India's largest circulated journal of the oppressed, fighting against mainstream dailies and periodicals which have totally ignored the plight of the original inhabitants. Hence DV is rightly hailed as a new experiment in Indian journalism.

Only DV has diagnosed the disease of India which is an exception to all other countries in the world. If others have only "classes", India has not only the "class" but the world's most unique institution of caste system, which is the other word for racism. Here lies the success of DV. It goes to all world famous libraries, universities and invited many Afro-American delegations to India.

Its Editor is hailed as India's most original thinker, scholar and also philosopher. As India's most famous Dalit writer, he has authored over 60 world-famous books dealing with the problems of caste, ethnicity, Muslims, Christian, Sikhs, Marxism, Brahminism, Racism, Gandhism, Fascism etc.

Over 100 books have been published by the Dalit Sahitya Akademy, its sister organisation, also headed by the Editor.

His book, Dalit - The Black Untouchables of India, published from the USA (Clarity Press, Inc., Suite 469, 3277 - Roswell Rd NE, Atlanta, GA.30305, ISBN 0-932863-05-1 , 2003 - 2nd print), has gone into several reprints uniting for the first time the Blacks of the world with the Black Untouchables of India.

His most important book, Caste — A Nation Within the Nation, which has gone into second print, is a marvellous thesis offering an ingenious weapon of "caste identity" to defeat Brahminism, the destructive ideology of the ruling class. In the latest Parliament election, the oppressed castes of India used this weapon and defeated the country's Brahminical party (BJP).

DV becomes the future media of India where its dailies and periodicals are slowly dying. Because only DV offers a lasting solution as the authentic voice of the country's tallest titan, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the Father of India.

Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada In Kashmir

In the troubled history of contemporary Kashmir, the summer of 2010 will be remembered as a watershed. Protests against the ‘encounter’ killings of civilians turned into an unprecedented display of courage, as a new generation took to the streets, their only weapons the stones in their hands. It has been called Kashmir’s Intifada, marking a paradigm shift from armed militancy to mass rebellion. Significantly, this was also accompanied by a remarkable explosion in the writing on Kashmir, in a new language of ideas that bypasses the old and parochial ways in which Kashmir has been seen and understood.

The pieces in this volume voice the rage and helplessness sweeping through the Valley, while also offering rare insights into the lives of those caught in the crossfire. With contributions from journalists, academics and artists, Until My Freedom Has Come: The New Intifada in Kashmir is a timely collection of some of the most exciting writing that has recently emerged from within Kashmir, and about it.

BJP leaders visit Maulana Showkat's residence

http://jkmpic.blogspot.com

Srinagar, April 14: A team of senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders currently visiting Jammu and Kashmir paid obeisance at of Hazratbal Shrine here Thursday morning. The leaders also visited the family of Maulana Showkat Ahmad Shah, who was assasinated last week.

Mr. Rajnath Singh, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Shahnawaz Hussain, accompanied by some other parliament members of the BJP, visited the Hazratbal shrine, which houses the Holy Relic of Prophet Muhammad(SAW) .

Later, the team went to the house of the Maulana Showkat Ahmad Shah, at Lal Bazar on city outskirts. The BJP leaders expressed condolences to the bereaved family and met the son and the brother of the slain Ahlehadees president.

The BJP leaders also paid respects at the Chati Padshahi Gurdwara (Sikh temple) in the old city's Rainawari area.

Benazir Killed At the Behest of CIA: PPP Chief

Srinagar, Dec.27 : A high level meeting of Bhutto Memorial Trust (BMT) and People’s Political Party (PPP) was held to commemorate Shaheed Benazir Bhutto’s 3rd death anniversary at party headquarters, Rajbagh, Srinagar, Kashmir (IOK).

PPP Chairman, Hilal Ahmad War said that Benazir Bhutto was killed at the behest of CIA. He further said that she and her father Zulfikar Ali Bhutto vehemently opposed American Policy of making Pakistan a satellite State for its future plans. First America engineered the killing of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and late its agency, CIA got Benazir eliminated. Mr. War said that assassination of Benazir Bhutto was part of the ploy to create instability in Pakistan. This type of condition is created in Pakistan to justify the take over of Nuclear Weapons of Pakistan by United States, said War.

War said Z.A. Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto created thousands of Bhuttos after their assassination. They were such a strong inspiration that many Bhuttos were born as a result of their martyrdom, said War. War said Bhutto’s not only threw challenge to the anti-democratic forces in Pakistan but were a thorn in the flesh of the anti-Muslim forces worldwide. The anti-Muslim forces in the world never wanted to see Muslims united and as a result they saw Z.A. Bhutto as the biggest threat, and that is why they conspired   with various forces within the country to liquidate him, said Engineer Hilal War. PPP and BMT have demanded Z. A. Bhutto’s murder case be reopened and the culprits be punished. We demand the reopening of the Shaheed Z.A.  Bhutto murder case, so that the perpetrators are brought to book.

Mr.War said in his speech , “ it appears that due to vested interest and non concern for the integrity and stability of Pakistan, some prominent members of the present PPP Government are adamant to sell off Bhutto’s of their ‘dignity and honour’ that they earned globally for their struggle to make Pakistan a stronger and “ Greater Pakistan”. He further said, “Buzz is that fake Bhutto’s are thriving and acquiring benefits on the glorious sacrifices of Shaheed Z.A. Bhutto and his family”.

The speakers emphasised that the concept of Greater Pakistan floated by Shaheed Z.A. Bhutto and his Kashmir Policy for realisation of right of self-determination for struggling people of Jammu and Kashmir were and are the source of inspiration for the political and armed activists of Kashmir Liberation Movement. The participants of the meeting urged the Government of Pakistan to formulate a Kashmir Policy in accordance with the letter and spirit of Bhutto's Kashmir Policy.

The participants of the meeting also disfavoured and disapproved the proposed idea of showing any flexibility by government of Pakistan with regard to settlement of Kashmir Dispute as such a flexibility is bound to cause a irreparable damage to Kashmir Cause and shall affect Kashmir Liberation Movement which has so far taken heaviest toll of life, honour and property in entire J & K State.

The participants of the Trust unanimously appealed to the people of Pakistan that they should rise above regional, racial and ethnic prejudices and considerations and unite together in the direction of national and emotional integration because such a course could only save Pakistan from external conspiracies aimed at disintegrating the country once again like December 1971.

After conclusion of speeches delivered by various participants’ special prayers (Fatah Khawani) were offered for the eternal peace and comfort of the souls of Shaheed Z.A.Bhutto and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto.(Writer-South Asia)
