Kashmiri Pandits’ Exodus – An Untold Saga

Needless to mention that Kashmir forms an integral part of Independent India, the incumbent government at the center has affirmed it with a strong message to the world at large. Though, India has been making it amply clear to the international community, there is a stubborn neighbor who would still like to keep its people under the shadow of darkness. No

Kashmir has been used unabatedly by the neighboring country as a tool to keep Kashmir in an unending turmoil and unrest. The youth of Kashmir off late have been identified as the soft target by those who want Kashmir to get submerged under the misery & apathy of terrorism, just to implement their nefarious designs to destabilize the Indian polity.

Well, whatever is happening in Kashmir nowadays, is not the matter of days, months or for that matter years, it is a state of affairs that goes back decades and decades down the history. Kashmir, if we summarize in brief has been a strong and powerful seat of peace, tranquility, religious amity and brotherhood. Even Gandhi Ji once said that if he sees any ray of hope for peace and brotherhood, he can see it coming from Kashmir. But, it happens to be a hard irony that Kashmir got hit by the political highhandedness and subsequent political opportunism made hell, out of what otherwise was a paradise on earth. As a French traveler, Burnier, who visited Kashmir during Aurangzeb’s rule had termed Kashmir as, “Terrestrial Paradise of Indies”

Kashmiris have a mixed history of peace, prosperity, brotherhood, cruelty, torture, oppression, conversions, religious supremacy, community bias, suppression and despite all these ups and downs, what can be made out as the gist of Kashmiris existence in Kashmir is the communal brotherhood and religious harmony.

Jammu & Kashmir enjoyed independence during the British rule in India. When Gulab Singh ruled the independent state of Jammu & Kashmir, he was given complete independence forever by the British on the basis of his good conduct and a settlement of ₹ 7.5 Million to the British. This was on March 16, 1846. Starting then, the state of Jammu & Kashmir stayed an independent state until 1947 when Maharaja Hari Singh signed an agreement with Independent India, transforming power and undergoing accession.

By the time India became independent, Muslims, under the leadership of Mohamad Ali Jinnah wanted a separate country, where they could propagate Islam and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan came into existence. It was only when Pakistan had nefariously thought of bringing Kashmir into its dominion, that King Hari Singh was forced to make an agreement of accession with India. Though India, through Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru, the then Prime Minister of India, had put a note in the United Nation security council for a peaceful solution to the Kashmir issue, the same became unenforceable due to the most impractical suggestions coming from the neighboring country Pakistan.

Pakistan calls it a dispute which it is not, and it is this stubbornness on part of this hostile neighbor that India had to fight war triggered by Pakistan in 1965, 1971 and then again in 1999(Kargil War). 1999(May to July), Kargil War, was an aggression thrust on India, collectively by the Pakistan Army and the Terrorist organizations of Pakistan under the patronage of General Parvez Musharraf, the then Pakistan Army Chief.

Communal unrest had taken place in Kashmir in 1986 as well, but there were no or fewer casualties. An exodus took place which was not widespread and the situation normalized as the dust settled. It was only in 1989 when terrorism in Kashmir was launched on a much larger scale and massacre of Hindus had already been unleashed by the local and Pakistani terrorists.

Prior to it, in 1987, a political front by the name of “Muslim United Front – MUF”, came into existence. MUF participated in the elections but as is believed in the local political circles, the elections at that point in time got rigged just to bring the local political party, “National Conference and the Indian National Congress”, into power as MUF was considered to be Anti-National and terrorist centric party. This was considered to be a drastic shift in the state politics and the overall political health of the country.

September 1989 to March 1990, was the darkest part in the history of Kashmiri Pandits, in the valley of Kasmir. Mass exodus took place, as the same was forced on the Pandit community by the separatist fundamentalist groups of people who had willful intentions to make Kashmir a fundamentalist Islamic State.

As a result of increasing unrest, provocation, ethnic cleansing, Kashmiri Hindus fled the valley of Kashmir leaving behind their homes and hearths not knowing as to what fate they would be subjected to with almost nothing to sustain the unprecedented misery and hardship that was awaiting them.

Though their brethren in the Jammu province, the Dogras and the people in other parts of the country, welcomed the Kashmiri Pandits with open arms and treated them as their own brothers and sisters, the darker part in their life had yet to come.Kashmiri Pandits had to register themselves as the refugees and were kept in tenements in the open ground with almost zero sanitation facilities.

The tenaments created for the community were much worse than the slums. Coming from the place where temperatures would not go beyond 37 degree celsius, Kashmiri Hindus had to live under the scorching heat waves where temperatures would even touch 47 degree celsius. Those who could not withstand the heat died an untimely death and those who sustained it, had to bear the plight of inhuman living conditions.

Though the state administration was extending a very friendly gesture to the pandit community government employees by allowing them to draw their salaries even without attending to duties. Life was not all that simple for them.

Education was one of the biggest challenges faced by the children of the Kashmiri Pandit community. But thanks to the undying endurance & efforts of the children, the community showed the world that they could excel irrespective of the conditions averse to the educational atmosphere.

For the children of Kashmiri Hindus, this mass exodus has most definitely proved to be a “blessing in disguise”. Children exploited their capabilities, potentialities, and wisdom to the extent that they are now at very prestigious and big positions in administration, medicine, and technology.

Coming to the mass exodus, it did not stop there. In fact, mass exodus became a  reason for those who wanted to take political mileage out of it. Both local and National political parties started exploiting the exodus, simply to meet their own selfish political ends.

If the successive governments at the center would have been serious in resolving the Kashmir issue, once and for all, it would have been settled quite a long time ago and that too with all political grace and people’s aspirations. But to be very frank, no party at the center or not even the local political parties wanted this issue resolved at all. Because Kashmir for them happens to be the sole source of political survival in the region and in the process, the most Nationalist Kashmiri Hindus had to shoulder the whole brunt and face the odds which they would have not even thought of.

After displacement from the valley, the Kashmiri Pandits were victimized not only by the political parties but also by their own people who started calling themselves as “The Voice of Kashmiri Pandits in Exile”. They surfaced as the leaders of Kashmiri Hindus and these self-styled leaders started gathering support from our brethren in the western countries and more importantly from those in the United States of America.

It is believed that after they were impressed upon by these self styled kashmiri Pandit leaders, they came out with a helping hand and very rightly so. They thought that if they could contribute towards the well-being of their brothers and sisters, it could be through financial aid only. And, it is believed, they donated huge amounts of financial aid for the welfare of the community, Well,who collected the donations and how the funds were utilized for the betterment of the community, that still remains a million dollar question.
That was not all, these self-styled leaders who took the advantage of the poor, illiterate, innocent and the most submissive sections of the society took the community for a ride. They floated the most ridiculous and vague concept in the shape of a demand for a homeland for the Kashmiri Pandits in the valley of Kashmir to which they said, as an explanation, that they know it is not something which is going to be a reality but they can at least place this demand as a pressure tactics for the central administration. This was something which inadvertently proved to be contra-effective for their smooth sailing in befooling the community brethren in particular and the central and state administration in general.

Creating a homeland for Kashmiri Pandits in the Kashmir valley was a false promise made by the people who believed in propagating an element of vengeance and hatred for the Muslim community in the valley. A learned lawyer pleading the case of sikhs, brutally murdered in 1984, has said that Hindus did not kill sikhs, it is the Congress workers, who killed them. Similarly it is not the Muslims who killed kashmiri Hindus, it is the militants who killed them. So creating a sense of hatred in the minds of kashmeeri pandits, is what all these self styled leaders have been propagating.

Kashmiri Pandits got scattered in different parts of the country and abroad, and their return, in the true sense of the term, is far from reality, at least for the younger generation. So in such case, what  Kashmiries need to work for is consolidation not separation. Further fragmentation of Kashmeer is in no way going to help kashmiri Hindus. It will be an invasion on national integration.

Kashmiri Pandits in exile can help the current government at the centre, by not opting for vague, misguiding and meaningless demands propagating homeland. They can instead strengthen the hands of Prime Minister Narinder Modi, in solving the Kashmeer issue with consolidation and grace.They should take pride in uniteing the already fragmented Kashmir rather than in fragmenting it further.

A ray of Hope can be seen in the proactive approach of Prime Minister Narinder Modi, where the day is not far when Kashmir will unite again. And that is what we should take pride in.And, under his  dynamic leadership, it can be possible​.

So, it is high time for all those who propagate separatism and hatred among both the communities, be it Muslims by the jehadi separatists or the Hindus, by the so called self styled kashmiri Pandits leaders, to mend their ways and start coming in the national main stream and work for peace,  prosperity brotherhood and above all the national unity and integrity.

We have to unite Kashmir, not fragment it.

It has to be, ” All Kashmir For All Kashmiries “. In fact for all “nationalist” Kashmiries.

When Rest Of The World Sleeps, India Awakes, Supreme Court Gets Underway.

Under some very unprecedented circumstances, the supreme court of India gets underway at 02.30A.M on Thrusday 30th july 2015, just to hear the last minute legal petition of the counsel for Yaqub Memon to seek a 14 day repreieve after the rejection of his mercy plea by the president.

Well, whatever be the legal points that were discussed during the hearing,  this is what needs to be commended.

Something which makes every Indian to feel proud about the judicial system of the country.

After the accused uses all possible resources in order to evade the death sentence, the Supreme court just before a few hours of the hanging, sits in the supreme court premises to hear the last moment plea of the accused’s counsel during wee hours.

Though the plea is dismissed on legal grounds, but what needs to be applauded is the landmark hearing in the most unprecedented and unusual circumstances, just to give the accused the last chance to defend himself.

The defence counsel perhaps knew that they are defending the indefensible, but they moved the highest court of the country and the case was heard, thereby setting an extraordinary example of legal jurisprudence, which, we as Indians should really be proud of.

Although this court hearing is not something to celebrate, because it was something which was related to the death of a human being.

But at the same time it was something which related to the justice to be meted to  the families of those 257 human beings who lost their precious lives in the bomb blasts. And also the families of  about 100 victims who got injured in the dastardly and barbaric bomb blast.

“No one is big or small in the eyes of Justice, as Justice is blind.”

Why Only Judicial Death Penalty Is Debatable For Intellectuals, Why Not The Death Caused By Terrorism.

Yaqub Memon while talking to Madhu Trehan,an Indian journalist, in his only interview, with Newstrack in August 1994, accepted that he played a very vital role in the Mumbai bomb blast, though he was not the master mind. He named his brother Tiger Memon as the Master mind.
Friends, what is your take on that? Should he be hanged? Or should the court accept his latest plea, through eminent citizens and bollywood actors, for imprisonment for life?
And to how much extent is Tushar Gandhi, great grandson of Mahatama Gandhi, right, when he says that he is against capital punishment and that there should be no capital punishment at all?

I sometimes wonder, if judiciary is supreme, then why does these so called intellects and high profile citizens indulge in futile representations and discussions.
I really pity them.

Justice Markandey Katju, who is the former Chairman, Press Council of India, and prior to his appointment as Chairman, Press Council of India, he served as a Judge at Supreme court of India, says he found weak evidence in this case.

Well, Justice Katju has his own say.
Rest of India has its own.

No person with a humanist approach to life would see an eye to eye with the capital punishment prevalent in the country. But with all this said and done, how can we ignore the barbarism at the very same place.

I would like Tushar Gandhi and the likes of him to answer just one question; ” when you advocate doing away with death penalty, how many times, you think, have you advocated for the justice to be meted out to bereaved families whose kith and kin have fallen victim to terrorist barbarism. What about the deaths imposed by terrorists to the innocent citizens of the country. Who, in your view, is going to give an account for those merciless deaths.

In 2014, at least 2,466 people were sentenced to death worldwide – up 28% on 2013. And in India out of 64 death sentences given, none has been executed. Which shows India has been very slow in pursuing the capital punishment. But, this does in no way neutralize the resolve that the rarest of the rare cases should not be taken cognizance of and punish the accused as per the law of the land which provides for capital punishment as the deterrent.

At the time when Nathuram Godse was to be hanged, in 1949, Gandhi ji’s two sons and pt. Jawahar lal Nehru had opposed the death penalty and pleaded that the hanging would bring dishonour to Gandhi ji’s Martyrdom. But the court still went with the order and the accused were hanged.

So judiciary should be left to do its part, with out any undue hinderences and obstructions.

And for God’s sake, if Supreme court once decides that a particular case comes under rarest of the rare catagory and that the same warrants death penalty, then how come the other agencies or intellects or prominent citizens can even think of commuting it.

I fail to understand why we tend to make irresponsible moves to make the highest judicial authority to look back into something which has been decided once and for all.

Death penalty can  not bring the martyrs back, but it can atleast leave an impact on like minded people, as the terrorists, to desist from the barbaric acts on humanity.

On that hopful note, I feel sad for the family of the person who will not see the sun tomorrow and for ever. And share sympathy with those who lost their dear ones in the barbaric bomb blast in 1993, in Mumbai.

Kargil Conflict… A Tale Of Bravehearts, Their Valour And Gallantry.

By Manmohan Dhar.

It is now 18 years and the memories are still alive in the heart of every patriot.

Pakistan tried to stab India in the back, with all its military might, having nefarious designs on mind, to destabilize the biggest democracy of the world.

But the poor people never knew, or they forgot, that they are actually playing with fire. 

If the self exiled military head and former President of Pakistan, Parvez Musharaf utters words like, ” hum ne chudiyain nahi pehan rakhein hein, Bharat hum par invasion kar ke toa dekhe. Ham Mayinmar nahi hein, Pakistan ek nuclear country hai” I am afraid he is living in a fool’s paradise.

India can teach Pakistan a lesson, if Pakistan dares to engage in a war with India.

But, India, being a peace loving country, will never succumb  to the pressure tactics of  a country which is undergoing a tussle, wherein Army and Civil authorities play hide and seek game. And even provoke India to indulge in a war, though not in a position to face the might of Indian Army.

What can one make out of the statements coming from the under trial Army commander of Pakistan, is no less than a mockery.

Anyways let us not forget the importance of 26/07/1999. The day when our bravehearts had to lay their lives in a war which was thrust upon us.

It was Pakistan’s misadventure, ultimately resulting in its defeat, which forced Indian troops to give a befitting reply to the enemy’s nefarious designs.

We should have all our felicitations, salutations, admirations, approbations, acclamations and commendations for the valiant soldiers who fought the Kargil war with glory and honour.

More than 500 bravehearts laid their life at the altar of their great country.

More than 13000 sons of the soil got injured in the war raged by  our hostile neighbor Pakistan.

We ought to pay our deepest homage to these bravehearts and ensure their families that today and for ever, every Indian will remember these sons of the soil and the saviours of Indian honour and dignity.

Today, when we observe the 18th anniversary of Kargil conflict, we Indians proclaim and let it be heard loud and clear, as Gen. Suhaag had once said and I quote,  “we will not let another Kargil to happen.” Unquote.

Any country which dares to enter into a misadventure with India, Will have to face the ever increasing might of “DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF INDIA”.

Pakistan fought many wars, lost them miserably and still refuses to learn lessons.

This can simply be attributed to the devastating political image of Pakistan in the world arena. Also to deviate the attention of it’s people from the deteriorating economic health of the country, which has almost brought Pakistan on the threshold of bankruptcy.

Otherwise a country which has already been broken into two, and whose further fragmentations are inevitable, would never think in terms of a war with a country which is huge militarily as well as economically. That is why, perhaps, it is said that empty vessels make much noise.

And if  Pakistan,  on the basis of it’s having some nuclear weapons, thinks that it can engage the world in a rhetric of being able to face India,”The Giant”,  then in that case, it may have to think twice, in fact ten times before it enters into a war like situation with India.

Today if Pakistan can boost of self sufficiency, it is only in the field of militancy. Pakistan has become a safe paradise for terrorists and terrorist organisations.

Even America has recognized the inefficiency of Pakistan in dealing with the increasing terrorism perpetuated by the terrorist organisations having their roots in Pakistan.

America has cautioned Pakistan of further sanctions, after it blocked the $350 million aid to this terror friendly country, if it doesn’t mend it’s modus operandi in dealing with terrorism.

Pakistan dared kargil.

Paid the price and fled from the battlefield.

It dates war, now, ………

Well!! we all know. And Pakistan knows it too.

We salute the Kargil Heroes.

Cricket Confronts Yet Another Tragedy, Warrants Rebuilt.

In yet another tragic incident, a young cricketer, Bavalan Pathmanathan, died on Sunday after being hit on chest by a ball in Long Ditton, Surrey, UK, on Sunday.

24-year-old was hit by the ball when he was batting for Hersham-based Manipay Parish Sports Club at Long Ditton Recreation Ground during a division three match of the British Tamils Cricket League (BTCL).

Immediately after the incident an ambulance, two cars, along with another air ambulance reached to the scene to assist him.

Pathmanathan was treated at the scene and then taken into Kingston Hospital in a serious condition.

But the cricketer subsequently passed away with the cause of death believed to be heart failure.

well, if this is cricket then I am afraid this is not the name of the game.

A complete overhauling is what is needed the most in this gentleman’s game.

Players’ life is what should be the supreme rule of law in cricket law books.

In fact what is the need of the hour is totally over looked by the authorities governing the game.

A cricket field is like a place of great sanctity atleast for those who worship cricket. So how come, in stead of being cool, sober, friendly and above all sporting, the players engage themselves into a sort of warfare, aggression and hatred. How, do they think, they are doing some kind of service to the game and the game lovers.

In sports, there is no room for hatred. then why is the unwarranted aggression shown by some players on the field, not being viewed with a sense of great concern.

Why do the players, who are bent upon maligning the sanctity of the game, roam scot- free.

Though this, yet another tragic event, may not be the outcome of any sort of aggression, but that doesn’t mean that everything is OK with the game.

Actions speak louder than words, then what is the need to destabilize your opponent by passing ugly and awkward comments while playing.

If a bowler bowls a bouncer, I think it is the out burst of his aggression, and can very easily be avoided. But then it needs rules to be amended, in order to call it a no ball ab initio accompanied by a huge penalty in the shape of fine imposed on the erring player.

They can change rules to make the game more sensational, but they will never frame rules to make the game more safe and player friendly. How ironical.

Discipline is what is slowly and steadily eluding the gentleman’s game. And that is the matter of grave concern for the cricket lovers.

Allowing the players to indulge in show business, advertising and adopting all sorts of means to amass wealth, has brought about a drastic change in the over all mind set and the psyche of the players, making them more arrogant and indisciplined.

All this needs to be checked, that too very fast, so that the game could be saved from any further damage.

Players who indulge in such practices and still give a good show on the field, makes some sense. But consistent flop shows should be dealt with punitive measures.

Last but not the least I would insist that the game of cricket is getting more and more popular the world over, let us take some corrective steps in order to make it much safer and near to being called “A gentleman’s game”.

My deepest condolences to the family of the departed young soul.

May his soul rest in peace.

JAI HIND.

Daughter In Law Mother In Law Relationship

Some people may say why I intended to write on this precarious subject of daughter in law, mother in law relationship.

Well, to be very frank, I consider this relationship a very pious, unique, tender, and above all a very selfless relationship. Where both can share all that is important for a healthy and cordial atmosphere in a family. In fact, if I say that their relationship is no less than a very intense friendship, I may not be mistaken.

A friendship which has its roots in mutual trust and belief.

A daughter in law is a girl who comes from a different family. A girl who has been brought up in a much different set of circumstances prevailing in her parental home. She is used to and  has experienced a world much friendly and more suited to her liking and disliking. She must have even been habitual to the parents’ and other family members’ pampering. And not surprising enough, it must have put a permanent impact on the over all behavior of the girl. And she might be fine with it and even enjoying it.

Even her parents must be feeling proud about the way they have been able to bring their child up.

Every child is dear to his or her parents. And no parent would like to impart anything on the child which in the long run would prove wrong for the child. In fact parents try to imbibe good virtues in their beloved children. It is only the way, in which the whole process of teaching and learning goes. Both have to be very much positive in their intent.

Ok, coming back to the subject of daughter in law mother in law relationship, all I have to say is, that a girl from a different family is willing to get married and start a new life with her life partner and of course with his family.

In other words a person who is, in no way related to the boy’s family, leaves her home, her parents, her loved ones viz. brothers, sisters and even friends, just to surrender to her father’s wish to give her as a gift to the boy in the shape of ” Kanyadaan”. And she starts a new life in the boy’s home, considering it her own.

Well, I think this is not something which does’nt deserve to be appreciated, commended and acknowledged.

This shifting of homes would be  no less than a mere dream, if the strong element of sacrifice would not be their in the girl’s consent to be a part and parcel of the boy’s family.

This is where the boy and the girl need to work in tandem and try their level best to balance the whole family scenario with intelligent and most family oriented behavior.

And this is when the daughter in law, mother in law relationship comes into being. If the girl enters the boy’s home with a clean and selfless mind set and the boy’s mother treats the girl as the most important member of the family, who deserves the special care and affection, then we can think of everything being smooth and satisfying.

But once the element of misadventure invades either the psyche of mother in law or for that matter the daughter in law, think that everything is not fine with the family.

Let us now discuss the element of expectation, which becomes indispensable the moment the relationship comes into existence. Both expect their due from each other. And the one who falters, faces the wrath.

And do you know who emerges as the biggest sufferer in the whole scenario.

Yes, you are right. The Boy. But how ? well, that is altogether a different issue and can be discussed separately.

But why element of expectation, why shouldn’t we call it the element of caring and sharing. Because, when we expect, and expectation eludes us, it gives pain. And when we don’t create an element of expectation and something comes our way unexpectedly, it can undoubtedly give us a reason to rejoice and feel happy and satisfied.

And when we talk in terms of caring and sharing. Both these aspects of life are very much positive and enthralling.

Believe me when relationships are nurtured on the pillars of caring and sharing, the world will become a wonderful creation of God in the real sense.

Moreover, metaphorically speaking, if we try to see the relationship of Daughter In Law and Mother In Law, together, we get DILMIL. (And dilmil in hindi means, Union of hearts, or  mutual understanding). We must have quite often heard people say, ” dil mil gaye. which means there has been a strong unison and mutual understanding.

So I insist, there has to be a strong feeling of mutual understanding, which is the only way to keep the family buoyancy intact.

A cheerful and optimistic attitude or disposition is the key to healthy family embodiment and quintessence.

Children Parent Relationship….. Give It A Thought.

By Manmohan Dhar

World is changing at a very fast speed. So is our country, our neighborhood, our society and our culture.

And it is very hard to put brakes on the changing life style, food habits, social instincts, alarmingly damaging approach to life, of the present day youth. Though we may not generalize the situation but yes a large section of the youth is definitely not on the right path in their pursuit.

In fact, to be very frank, damage, I am afraid, has been done, and all the blame for that can not be put on the youth only.

Society, work culture, social media and the parents as well, are to be blamed for the remotely repairable damage that has been caused. Why I say “remotely repairable”, has a strong reason behind that, which is that we should never, under any circumstances, say that this damage can’t be fixed.

I feel,  if we all act towards the right direction, with a right approach and with a strong and firm resolve, we will succeed in repairing the damage, before it is too late.

Children, in the present educational scenario, live with their parents till they qualify their higher secondary academics.

After that they either qualify for professional studies or for any other stream of academics, for which they have to leave the home and live at a separate place with altogether a separate environment.

This is where the problem starts cropping up.

But those twelve years of academic study can play a vital role in the psyche of a particular child, if the parents put in their best in shaping and polishing the mind set of their children. Because these are basically the most crucial years of a child where he or she can be motivated and inspired to follow what is right for him or her.

When the parents don’t falter their duties, when they understand the virtues and shortcomings of their children, when they make use of  time, the most, in teaching their children, the essence of this world and the purpose to live in it, then there is no reason why we can not conquer the evil.

There are so many aspects of life which need one on one with respect to the children and their parents, and lot many need to be addressed with utmost caution and belongingness because when it comes to a bright and acceptable future of our children, we as parents can never efford to be careless or for that matter ignorant about the growth and development of our children.

As parents we have to take time out, in persuading our children to understand the meaning of being noble, gentle, generous, painstaking, helpful and above all obedient, so that when our children are exposed to external stumili, they are able to resist and in the bargain impart less damage to their growing persona.

Children too,  are human being, just like their parents. They can come across a variety of people with altogether a different mental  setup and a different pattern of reacting abilities to deal with outside world. So with everything just averse to what they thought theie environment to be, they ought to manage, with all the I.Q  at their command, to come up to the expectations of their parents. This is what most of the parents keep…… expectations!

Well to expect good is not bad, but to expect good without thinking that this expecting factor, may in the long run may create a sense of fear in his mind, and instead of trying to do good or be good, he may lose the grip and get swayed into something very bad.

So expectations need to be minimized. We may exercise our right to be the parents who always want to protect their children, expecting them to be good, but expectations need to be minimal.

When  something good comes your way unexpectedly, it gives a feeling of joy, contentment and tremendous satisfaction.

Children too, need time to settle in a particular environment.

And I can assure you, if your home work has been up to the mark, they won’t disappoint you.

So for all those parents who are never ready to take the brunt of responsibility on their shoulders, I  would suggest they take time out, from their busy schedule and devote it towards their children during their all important academics, when they are all out to listen to whatever you tell them in framing their future.

Let us all take the call well on time and nip the evil in the bud, before it is too late.

Because, it is really, never, too late.

What is needed is the “Action, at a right time, at a right place and of course with the right person”.

Children and parents, both can play a very vital and pivital role in nation building. All that is needed is the sincere effort and firm resolve to be instrumental in transforming the society.

Ours is a very rich culture and to preserve the essence of it’s richness, we shall have to be the whistleblowers. If we see or come to know about something  concerning our children or for that matter someone else’s children, which in one way or the other is not good for them, we should raise our voice. Because we owe it to the human race and humanity.

Why Geelani Only Why Not Geelani & Co. They All Deserve A Passport.

In fact not only  Geelani, the whole brigade of pro pakistan activists, Extremists and terrorists deserve a passport.

Yes,  you heard me right. They should be given a passport.

But, which passport?

A simple question, which every nationalist can reply with a great deal of ease.

A PAKISTANI PASSPORT.

WHY SHOULD THIS POOR FELLOW ALONGWITH HIS PRO PAKISTAN BRIGADE BE DENIED A PAKISTANI PASSPORT, WHEN HE AND HIS CO. FULFILLS ALL NECESSARY REQUIREMENTS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE SAME.

In fact, these Anti India, pakistani fundamentalists should, with all state honours, be shown the way to their place of choice,’ Pakistan’ , with a one way ticket.

When they don’t deserve the Indian citizenship, why should they be held back.

To be previleged enough to obtain an Indian passport, one has to prove his or her loyality to India & The Indian Constitution.

And when it comes to Geelani & his Co. they have always proved to be the first class citizens of Pakistan. So why should they be denied the Pakistani Passport.

Now, if the question is that of issuing the Indian PassPort to them, then I am afraid, there has to be a complete transformation of the strong ideology of these hardcore pro pakistan activists, which, I reckon can not be possible atleast on this planet Earth.

So dear countrymen let us feel pride in showing these people the way to cross over to Pakistan……………….Their long cherished desire.

Geelani says Kashmeer is neither the part of India nor HAS IT ” yet” become the part of Pakistan. Instead of saying, ” nor of Pakistan”. why did he chose to say , nor has it yet become the part of Pakistan.

In this statement Geelani  pretends to narrate a commonly referred to statement, but in the jugglery of words he quite cunningly speaks out his heart.

“IS NOT A PART OF INDIA……CATEGORIC”

“Has not yet become the part of Pakistan…………. asserting that Kashmeer is basically a part of Pakistan but has not yet become so.”

So what do we infer from these cunningly grafted statements.

Let us all, in the capacity of true Indians, cut short, the agony of this pro pakistan brigade, and hand them over to their masters across the border.

That is what they deserve from an Indian society.

We Indians have a history of being sympathetic, so let us be so to these traitors as well.

JAI HIND.
