Condemnation of the killing of Ajay Bharti (Pandita), Sarpanch, will not help; denouncing it as a dastardly/cowardly act will not help because this kind of rhetoric have been going on for decades now. Ironically most of the times the perpetuators of the crime are the first ones to denounce it. It is not difficult to pin point politicians who have a double face; one for the external world and the other for internal world’s scheming to create panic, mayhem and disorderliness in the society. What adds to their strength is that only the executor of their plans is punished while they go scot free. Like, those who shot at Indira Gandhi were punished, but those who planned it to perfection were not.

Security forces may find the killer and execute him, but those who successfully brought the situation in the region of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) to what it has been since 1988 are doing business as usual and are listed under the most respectable citizens of J&K. Unless the real schemers are brought to book the merchants of death will keep thriving. Politicians have to be made accountable -for the constituencies they represent- in all respects be it, economical, law and order, social harmony, sane politics, religious tolerance, etcetera.

Degenerate Political Framework:   

Politicians can get away with anything that they may speak in the Parliament and State Assemblies; in their public speeches they get away after using most derogative expressions against their political opponents; publicly they accuse their opponents of negligence, inefficiency, incapability and financial misappropriation resting assured that they will get away with it. All acts of such kinds help promote antagonism within the society which has the potential to traumatize it.

The anti CAA protests as instigated by the politicians belonging to the opposition parties post passing of the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) is a remarkable event that explains how they can get away with anything irresponsible and against the interests of the Nation that they do in public and in this case it was tantamount to challenging the very supremacy of the Parliament publicly for the purpose of creating chaos on the streets and driving the wedge between the two major communities of our country; knowing pretty well that the CAB could be challenged in the Supreme Court. Venomous speeches were delivered from public platforms only to go unquestioned. This attitude of looking the other way encourages criminalization of politics and is detrimental to the health of societies.

The Chief Minister of Delhi declared in the Assembly that he and all his MLAs don’t have birth certificates and therefore they were opposing National Population Register (NPR) and National Citizenship Register (NCR)! So they passed a resolution against CAA and NPR NCR in their assembly. Can they pass resolution against an Act of Parliament? They get away with it!! But for Corona invasion this was enough fuel to create utter chaos and disorderliness in the entire country. In this country every one, most backward and illiterate, will tell his/her date and year of birth because it is recorded since ages by family elders. It has been a tradition to do so because without it Kundli cannot be prepared and the resume of a Hindu is not complete without a horoscope.

The Chief Minister of West Bengal is too famous for all kinds of acts and may not need any recounting here.

Politicians and religious heads seem to be hand in glove when it comes to creating chaos in the society because mass mobilization on religious grounds can be effected only by Dharm Gurus and Moulvis/Maulanas. So, on the instigation of politicians, the religious heads brought out videos abusing the other community supported by calls for digging graves for them as also establishing Islamic rule in India. A very serious situation, but politicians are allowed unrestricted freedom; it may not be out of place to state that those videographers and religious leaders may be taken to task, but politicians seem to be above law.  

The Ignorant and Enslaved Minds:   

The erstwhile J&K state has been a victim of politics of opportunism; always blaming others for their (local politicians) misdeeds; putting the charge of betrayal on Delhi; perpetually keeping Kashmiri Muslims under a state of political ambivalence and fed with a history that would represent an inverted pyramid. The most remarkable thing is that the present generation too has been ingrained with the same content that essentially ended up traumatizing the society. The author had a very interesting experience, some years ago, while discussing Kashmir situation with some Kashmiri Muslim youngsters. With no arguments left in their favour, they declared with full confidence that the UN Resolution was framed by a Kafir (meaning a Hindu representing India)!! There was this youngster who asked: How could Hari Singh be Maharaja of Kashmir which was 95% Muslim!!! So, the corollary to the theorem was: How could Emperor Akbar rule India which was 98% Hindu? Like that many examples can be cited which will narrate how hopeless the understanding of History they have. Primarily, they are trained to understand history only from a point of view of religious divide.

The press release by the organization that took the responsibility of killing Sri Ajay Bharti talks about INDIAN OCCUPATIONAL FORCES; these three words suffice to tell the kind of history they are indoctrinated with. Their masters may be across the borders, but their ideologues are well ensconced in local areas. These killers are basically well programmed robots who are not in synch with changing political narratives, but feel empowered and all powerful with guns and ammunition under their belt and in addition it’s their employment. Indoctrinated with their religious philosophy of life hereafter, they are essentially in pursuit of favour from ALLAH on the Day of Reckoning. What has helped make their indoctrination easier is the false propaganda of how Muslims in India are being tortured and exploited; the response to this kind of propaganda by the erstwhile rulers was to look the other way because of vote bank politics. So Batla House had to be a false encounter; simultaneously two diametrically opposite acts were done: 1) accusing police of fake encounter and 2) honouring the cop with police medals. So, police morale remained high and the gullible people were assured of support!!     

Some saner minds need tell these guns empowered youth that any Nation State – howsoever big or small- is quite capable of eliminating insurgency in due time and therefore no organization – even if supported by a mighty neighbouring nation- can ever think of defeating a Nation State’s might. North East regions and Naxalism in India are examples of failed attempts and likewise LTTE in Sri Lanka. They need to remember that LTTE was very powerful set up which controlled nearly 30% of the region in Sri Lanka and it was not fighting any other nation’s proxy war. It is nonexistent now, because a political decision was taken to efface it from the face of the Earth.

New Chip on the Block:   

Now, we have Sri Shah Faesal, ex IAS officer; served for ten years and left service because he “felt chocked”. He found his mentor and Guru in Er Rashid because he found him to be the best among the lot. The others – experts in political chicanery and responsible for traumatizing J&K- wrote him off immediately and which was quite reasonable because to reach their levels of political debauchery Shah Faesal would take, perhaps, years.

In his recent interview to BBC he claims that his three generations have been betrayed (attribute of putting the blame on others); that is 1) his grandfather’s (when Sheikh was hand cuffed by an ordinary cop), 2) his generation: when 1987 elections were rigged (who could rig them? Who was running administration? Who were on election duty?), and 3) present generation: 5^th August, 2019.

Anybody who has read J&K history on his own and read commentaries by political analysts will know that Shah Faesal is nothing but old wine in a new bottle. History as suits him and so, does he portend higher levels of turbulence in days to come in Kashmir?

Shah Faesal Sir: There was no betrayal on 5^th August, 2019 because a nonexistent Art 370 was removed; what in fact was a historical event was separating Ladakh from J&K and reconstituting them as Union Territories. Why? Find out from revenue records and utilization of central funds in the three regions, but more than that find out from Pakistan and the so called Separatists who were confused between Azadi and Merger with Pakistan.

Rigging in elections can be done only through local machinery that is through such local staff put on election duty (Faesal Sir: you may appreciate it if you were ever involved with the conduct of elections). In any case conduct of elections is responsibility of the local government run by incumbent political party. So, find out who was in power then and ask him/her.

Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah was hobnobbing with Pakistan even after he was made PM and protected under Article 370. Indian State couldn’t have offered him plateful of Ghostaba, Rista, and Pulav for his anti state act. I thought you would know it better having written IAS examination. Moreover, Sheikh was under house arrest and not in jail; and he was looked after very well. On finding him very healthy in 1962, on parole, rally in Srinagar, and the locals whispered: was he in a jail or in a house boat!!   

Shah Faesal Sir: What about betrayal with the Pandits when Sheikh implemented land to the tiller act without any financial compensation to the land lords (the Pandits)? Do you know that it caused first major exodus of the Pandits from the valley? What about betrayal with Pandits when post 1964 they were discriminated against for government jobs and admissions in professional educational institutions? What about betrayal with Pandits when riots were engineered against them in 1988; there was no RSS there. The list is long enough, Mr. Shah Faesal.

More importantly, Faesal Sir: what about betrayal of Kashmiri Muslims by local Muslim leadership both mainstream and separatists? Why don’t you ask them? Who traumatized them? Why and when did flesh trade start in Kashmir? Pre 1990, there was no institutionalized prostitution in Kashmir; do you think that’s a huge betrayal!!

Now, what’s most amazing here is that an educated person who appeared for IAS and, perhaps, topped has this inverted sense of history; he has no idea about Art. 370, but if he has then his statements should wake Indian State from a state of contentment to that of high alert, because a catastrophe is in the making.

All questions being in their place, politically most important question is:

Have the political leaders been released from house arrest conditionally or unconditionally? It will be years before this question gets answered by implication.

Tribute to Ajay Pandita:

Indeed very courageous act to become Sarpanch in an area infested with terrorists indoctrinated to kill. This singular act is the only way to teach a historical lesson to the merchants of death supported by depraved politicians. You have become immortal.
