The Illusion!!!

"Hum Pakistani hain, Pakistan hamara hai", you can hear these words enchanted in few streets of Jammu and Kashmir. It is really unfortunate that some people Mind-washed by some separatist Organizations having close links with Pakistan think so, living in India from more than 6 decades. Only few people with their narrow mindedness cripple the communal harmony of the country. Further some say in public, "We are Pakistanis and Pakistan is ours because we are tied with the country through Islam." Is religion is the only thing to be connected with a country?

Started with the government decision to hand over 100acres of land to a panel that administers Amarnath. The government dared not to consider this issue if it was not able to foresee the repercussions of their step. It proved a spark for those who were in search of their chance to make their presence felt. The small issue was communalized as before because they know our weakest nerve. They did not miss the opportunity to dig the burials. Some Muslim organizations demand their independence and merger to Pakistan only because that is a Muslim country. Some Hindu organizations pretended to provide shoulders to cry on for the Hindus for their political gain before the general elections. The situation became worse and the minor dispute between some groups resulted in some protests in the Shrinagar- Jammu highway. But this was dealt soon and police and the army ensured that no problem occurs in the highway.

The separatists again got the chance and they named it “economic blockade” nicely and started provoking the fruit growers to march towards Muzzafarabad, the capital of PoK (Pakistan occupied Kashmir). Some people think they should have been allowed to sale their products there. But I think this is a matter of the pride for a country to take care of its people especially when it is a democratic one. What message would have been sent to the world?

In Jammu & Kashmir, the situation needs serious attention of the whole country and the problems should be solved pragmatically to not let Pakistan to take advantage of the situation. Young minds are being exploited on the name of God; their brains are being white-washed by our people for their personal advantages. In this atmosphere, if some communal incidents occur then they got examples for their theory. Some people also find the solution of the problem in the separation of the state. But will it be a solution really as all the states here are independent up to a certain level but inter-dependent for their prospects. All knows J&K is an integral part of India and we are proud of it. But for keeping peace and harmony there, how long we have to pay in installments???
