KASHMIR

 

Kashmir is a land of legend, folklore and of fabled past. It holds a unique position in the history of mankind. Its beautiful valleys, snow peaked mountains, lakes and its people all turns Kashmir into a heaven on planet earth; and yet this heaven burns by the ingredients of greed, interest and Indian arrogance and its crimes. It is this place that carries both the cry for freedom in all its fury and through all its beauty.

Kashmir is where poetry is born from its landscape and where politics is played by hands foreign. It is against this backdrop, the smouldering fire in those hearts and minds of each successive generation and the question of being freed from the Indian clutches. It is this freedom they desire as their bodies are piled up, and their women and children torched up and mutilated but India remains indifferent and world in its usual silence. It is where Kashmir finds itself in 21st century among the beast in the form of India that now has almost destroyed so many lives and so much damage brought upon them. All the slogans of fairness and economic enterprise and of social equality as India claims to have given to Kashmir is nothing but a big farce. The message India communicates to the rest of the world about Kashmir is nothing but a pack of lies while its soldiers and their bayonets torture women, children and men from all quarters. It is this in this wilderness the sense of injustice prevails and how to deal with it through nothing but freedom as Kashmir desires the very right to its existence and its expression.
