You are Ignorant of Kashmiri Politics Mr. Home Minister of India : Lalit K Kaul
You are Ignorant of Kashmiri Politics Mr. Home Minister of India
Lalit K Kaul
So, 1988-1990 era is repeating
itself in that targeted killings of minorities in the Valley has begun; no
quantum and degree of assurances – no matter from where they emanate – are
going to help retard the impending mass scale movements towards the other side
of the Banihal because the memories of the earlier era and thereafter are
nonperishable from the minds of those who were forced to go through that
ordeal. So, Mr. Home Minister the material situation is back to Square One; the
question is why?
The media has very spontaneously
related such killings to the change of the person holding the charge of ISI in
Pakistan and theories built are that the new incumbent had to prove his worth/
deservedness in holding the much coveted post! It cannot get more ridiculous
than that. The problem here is that in Pakistan if a street dog strays in to a
VIP area or high security zone, the Foreign and Internal minister in their
respective press briefing say, “This dog is programmed by RAW to irrigate
vehicles, parks and buildings of such sensitive areas and also collect
sensitive information for its bosses”! Similarly every unfortunate event big or
small in India is attributed to scheming of ISI by the Indian media.
The point is that be it a RAW dog or
ISI plan the problems within a Nation State has to be addressed to and solved
within its jurisdiction, while considering all plausible reasons for such
undesirable events.
Politics of Blackmail:
The Kashmiri (read Kashmiri Muslims;
as they are/were always in an overwhelming majority in the Valley) political
narrative as articulated by their leadership – all political parties with no
exception – was nothing but the blackmail of the political leadership in Delhi
by the regional satraps entrenched in the Valley. It was just one line
statement parroted ad infinitum, while in Delhi and it was, “the Kashmiri youth
is alienated and needs to be assimilated in to mainstream”. The only way of
making this transition possible from “alienation” to “mainstream” was by
fleecing the Center for more and more funds with no accountability towards the
donor. The irony in it was that while the funds flowed nonstop the “alienation”
too grew nonstop; the gullible were told in 1990 that the armed rebellion
against the Indian State was due to the fact that all the jobs were usurped by
the Pandits and in this display of absolute mental bankruptcy were the
Communists and the Baroda Dynamite case accused, Sri George Fernandez; of
course not to be left behind were “secular” Muslim leadership in the Valley. This
job usurpation theory was spontaneously adopted by the “liberals”, “seculars”
and the Muslim “intelligentsia” outside Kashmir. The Urdu TV channels churned
out programmes after programmes telecasting how Muslims had lived in a state of
oppression all along only to express their frustration the way they had,
indeed. When, in the early nineties, the author, in order to counter this
oppression theory, went to a prestigious Urdu Daily Editor’s office in
Hyderabad with government records of how much money the central governments had
pumped in to the Valley since the year 1947, the Editor refused to even hold
the papers in his hands.
Mr. Home Minister the politics of
blackmail is still on, as its inventors are roaming free as “mainstream”
politicians, while their modus operandi has changed.
Politics based on Falsehood:
Flogging a dead horse is a
specialized art that can be taught by and learnt from only the Kashmiri Muslim
leadership. In this effort of theirs lasting over 54 years, the National political
leadership (across the Indian political spectrum) played a momentous role
because the rolling out of funds to the local satraps of the Valley was
mutually beneficial across Banihal and Pathankot. It’s incredibly true that the
floggers succeeded in convincing the whole world including the UNGA and
Pakistan that the horse was indeed alive and not dead! That horse was Article
370. Those interested in knowing why the author is calling Article 370 a dead
horse may visit the blog spot lalitkaul.blogspot.com
The other pillar of falsehood that
sustained political chicanery was that “India has occupied Kashmir” and this
was the narrative propagated by our Western neighbour whose very foundation was
based on an irrational ideology that was born out of the hatred of the Indian
Muslim leadership towards Hindus – the Kafirs they had ruled over! The irony in
it was: if Indian Muslims had ruled over Kafirs for 800 years then why their
plight was more pathetic than the Kafirs in the year 1947? The fact of it was
that those who ruled were Afghans, Mughals, Turks etc and not those who were made
to adopt their religion at the point of sword as had happened in Syria,
erstwhile Persia, Iraq and Afghanistan etc where wars were fought for decades
between the Islamic armies and the corresponding local ones only to be
conquered by the invading armies leading to wholesome conversion drive else
slaughter; few lucky ones succeeded to escape the tyranny and settled down in
India to be known as Parsis.
This narrative of Pak leadership was
promptly adopted by the new creed of leaders – the self proclaimed freedom
fighters – who were not only on the payrolls of Pakistan, but also willing to
go to any extent to hurt Kafirs as the poison within was no less in quantum and
intensity from that which their ideologues like Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Allama
Iqbal etc had and which had poured out aplenty during Khilafat movement.
Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad, during the Khilafat movement, declared that India was
not the place for Momeens to reside and advised the Muslims to migrate to
Afghanistan. The migration led to what magnitude of tragedy for the gullible is
a matter of detail not to be covered here. It’s incredible to see the stupidity
of the Kafirs who made Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad the first Education minister of
free India!! The incongruity was that the Indian State provided security to
these “freedom fighters”!
The Indoctrination is total:
If anybody can dig in to the
author’s FB and Twitter accounts, he/she would come across the choicest abuses
hurled on the author in response to very simple questions posed in the context
of political situation in Kashmir and her history. The age group chosen to
interact was in early or mid twenties. One of the unforgettable response that
was received read like “The UN Resolutions are handiwork of Kafirs”!
The nominal response to the exodus
of the Pandits from the Valley continues to be: “Pandits left of their own free
will and they were prompted by Jagmohan”! The remarkable thing for the author
was to observe that the mindset of a generation(s) that planned to wage a war
against the Indian State at the behest of Pakistan had been transplanted in
their generation(s) next unadulterated and this is no mean achievement.
There is a kind of similarity in
this regard between the Jews and the Kashmiri Muslims. The then PM of Israel,
Ms. Golda Meir, on her visit to Britain stated in a press conference something
like “The Jews did not displace any Palestinian; they just entered Palestine to
find open fields and buildings welcoming them to occupy ….” this is quite in
tune with “Pandits left of their own accord”.
Mr. Home Minister, do you know
online domicile applications of Pandits are lost in Kashmir depriving the
author of domicile even while being a State Subject Certificate holder! This is
the case with many because Pandits who “left on their own accord” can’t be
entitled to domicile. Hence, the targeted killings have been initiated.
The Ghost of Article 370 and Demographic Change:
What did not exist was claimed to
have been abrogated to the accompaniment of cheers and kudos from the media and
lauded as the most courageous act that earlier dispensations had failed to
achieve. Mr. Home Minister, people never read History because TV serials are
more entertaining, but they would like to hear about it from politicians who
anyways bend it to suit their political interests and combined with the Madrasa
brand of history, the concoction is too brainwashing to give any credit to the
history as recorded in books. The abrogation theory gave Pakistan some
propaganda material, but more than that it gave a huge handle to the Abdullahs,
Muftis and Lones including the “Azadi” gang to incite the gullible to grind
their own political axe; and, as is said “Politics is the art of the possible”
the instigators are untiringly going to incite people in to violence no matter
even if it yet again drive the Kashmiri Muslim community in to a state of
trauma and grief because, no matter what, the State forces will do their job
unabashedly.
What may never happen in more than a
millennium is being put in to the receptive minds as the most imminent disaster
that may befall Muslims tomorrow, if not today. Again the same gang is at work,
if one carefully analyzes their public statements. Abdullahs alternate between
being a Pandit Brahmin and a hard core Muslim, depending upon their political
expediency and Muftis alternate between being “Bhagat Singh” of Kashmir to the ardent
supporter of the Saffron party to which PDP owes its birth. That the recent
killings were a part of the new sinister design of ISI, it may be a matter for
investigation; but the induced and inculcated fear of demographic change in the
Valley reducing Muslims to a minority status does not need any investigation to
declare it as the prime reason for the recent killings.
Mr. Home Minister, while the NIA and
NSA including the security forces may do their job the way they are trained to
do, they cannot address to the political malaise that the Kashmiri society is
afflicted with. So long as the political criminals who traumatized the entire
Kashmiri society are afforded VIP treatment the material situation will not
change. SAS Geelani was charged with sedition in 2011, but continued to be the
son-in-law of the Indian government till his demise!
More than showing political criminals
their place, the political leadership will have to come clean, in public, on
what was abrogated which may be done through debates based on history as
documented; it would be interesting to know that those who swear by Article
370, how much of it they can speak extempore in public.
