The Jammu & Kashmir Saga- Root Problem And Its Effective Solution

ओ भारत के वीर जवानों , माँ का क़र्ज़ चुका देना ,
कटे फटे इस मानचित्र को अबकी ठीक बना देना !!
पटना साहीब से मीलने को ननकाना बैचेन खड़ा ,
अबकी तीरंगा रावलपिंडी में घुस कर फहरा देना !!
अटक कटक से सिन्धु नदी तक सब कुछ हमको प्यारा है ,
कश्मीर मत मांगो कह दो पाकिस्तान हमारा है !!


जो उपवन से घात करे वो शाख तोड़ दी जायेगी ,
जो पीछे से वार करे वो बांह मोड़ दी जायेगी ,
जो कुटुंब का नाश करे वो गर्दन तोड़ दी जायेगी,
मेरे देश पे उठती हर एक आँख फोड़ दी जायेगी ,
जो देश द्रोह की बात करे वो मनुष्य हत्यारा है ,
कश्मीर मत मांगों कह दो पाकिस्तान हमारा है !!


अपनी झीले, नदीयाँ, पर्वतमाला कैसे दे देंगे ?
भारत भर की रूप सुधा का प्याला कैसे दे देंगे ?
वैष्णो देवी , बाला अमर उजाला कैसे दे देंगे ?
अमरनाथ का बोलो पुण्य शीवाला कैसे दे देंगे ?
गंगा से मीलने को झेलम का बैचेन कीनारा है ,
कश्मीर मत मांगों कह दो पाकिस्तान हमारा है !!

I first heard this poem at Annual Dashahara Kavi Sammelan in my town when I was 13 yrs old & than again at annual Hindi poem recital competition in my school. At that time I wasn't that aware about world and Indian politics but somehow this poem agitated me from inside. I still remember that day coming back home with a heavy heart. The feeling that someone wants to take away my mother India's belongings created a deep sense of rage. Probably I count that day as the day of my political awakening. As a child I forgot the rage and anger after 2 or 3 days but that poem always echoed in my mind. When I started writing my diary of poems and sher-shayaris, I wrote this poem there too. Although it wasn't originally written by me but the emotions that I felt after hearing its recital, was a special memory I wanted to keep alive. That day I felt so Indian that I wanted to go out on border and declare war on Pakistan.

These were the magic words and today inside my mind I am again hearing its recital. I dont remember my schoolmate, who was reciting it but since than I recited it so many times that each and every word of this has become written on my heart. Some one is again trying to snatch my mother's belongings and again emotions are taking control of my mind.

I wanted to write about whole Baba Amarnath – Kashmir fundamentalist -terrorist issue before but decided against it to see reaction of the all sections of media intellectuals and general population. I did that because I wanted to be sure that what I write should include every aspect of the problem. Again I admit that I am nobody but still democracy gives each and every small or big citizen right to express their thoughts freely and that's what I have done till now.

But some people doesn’t know what is freedom with responsibility. Likes of Shabana Azmi, Arundhati Roy and many so called pseudo secularists, human right activists come in this category. Even though they have their best time in India but they never miss a chance to destroy India’s pride and take advantage of largely tolerant, liberal and truly secular Indians. Yesterday in paper it was Shabana Azmi who was complaining that minorities are being denied opportunities in India. Well ShabanaJi, tell me, who made your father such a great poet in India? Who accepted you as an actress who won several awards and become a MP? Does Indian not buy Cds of the songs written by Mr Javed Akhtar? Or does Indians haven’t gone and seen “Dil Chahta hai” or “Lakshya” directed by Farhan Akhtar? Or does Indians have stopped watching cricket when Azharuddin or Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi were captains of Indian cricket team? Or does Indians stopped watching movies in which Shahrukh, Salman, Amir, Saif, Fardeen, Imran or many other minority community actors performed? Or any Indian has given any less respect to Dr Abdul Kalam Azad? Or Indians dont want to listen songs from Adnan Sami or Mehadi Hasan? FYI Shabana Ji, its Pakistan which is not allowing their citizens to hear songs from Lata Mangeshkar and Jagjeet Singh. I don’t deny that people don’t have problem when Dilip Kumar goes to Pakistan and donate for Cancer Hospital while doing nothing for any Indian one. People will have problem when they see any Indian who is enjoying fruits of liberty and money earned here and simultaneously abusing the Indians and favoring other hostile nations.

Now Arundhati Roy, today I read that she is saying Kashmir needs azadi from India. She has gone to attend Hurriyat’s rally in Srinagar yesterday and after coming back from there she made this comment in TOI. These five star celebrity stupid people who doesn’t know reality on the ground just get overwhelmed by any anti national activities in name of human rights. I would like to ask her why she doesn’t go to Pakistan and suggest people over there that Balochistan and NWFP needs azadi from Pakistan. Why don’t she goes to Afganistan and suggest to Hamid Karzai that Taliban wants to rule Kabul so please leave Afganistan for Taliban. Why don’t she goes to Saudi Arabia and tell the kings there to leave Saudi Arabia for Osama since he wants to rule Saudi Arabia or why she haven’t still commented on what Chinese has done to Tibbetians or Uighur Muslims in Xinxiang? I guess China would be more interested in hearing her since she is one of the pro communists. But we all know she wont do that because all the above mentioned people will kill her for these stupid advices. Just writing some fictional books and winning only one award for that doesnt make any one so special that they can play with integrity of the nation. As per her logic there should be atleast 3 billion countries since I guess half of the world population wants some or other kind of freedom from their present governments. I think people of India need some kind of freedom from people like Arundhati Roy and I wont mind if people teach her a lesson so that her mind get a proper mental balance, which I guess she has lost after writing God of small things.

Let me be clear on certain things. I am not against any caste, community, region or religion. I am against corrupts and anti nationals whosoever they are. There are certain things I would never compromise while dealing with any separatists or terrorist. First there is not going to be any negotiation on territorial integrity of present Indian border, second there is not going to be any special provision in governance, foreign policy, law and order and defense for any state as all people enjoy the same freedom and all are equal. After agreeing on these two principles there can be negotiation on special economic packages for development of that state. I am not denying the fact that successive Indian central governments are responsible for the mess in J&K and north eastern states. North eastern states militancy except Nagaland has aroused mainly on the account of non development. Nagaland and Kashmir (Jammu and Lddakh are with rest of India) have peculiar problem and it can be solved with national resolve and will to take on the anti nationals. I will discuss Nagaland in some other blog. In this blog I would like to go in depth about Kashmir problem.

Brief History of Kashmir from 1850 Onwards:-

Jammu and Kashmir that you see in Indian maps is total undivided J&K with area 2,22,236 sq Kms. Out of this area PoK is having 78,114 Sq Kms and China too is enjoying the party by having 42,685 sq Kms. The word Kashmir is contraction of the word “Kashyapmeru means mountain of Kashyap”. According to Nilmata Puran Kashmir valley was fully under water and it formed a big lake by name Satisar. Geologists have also proven this fact that whole Kashmir valley was once under water. Nilmata Puran says Sage Kashyap drained that primordial lake of Satisar and now because of that we have beautiful valley of Kashmir with us. Kashmir’s population before Islam was basically Shaivite Hindus. After a treaty between Maharaja Gulab Singh of Jammu and British in 1846 Kashmir became part of Dogra ruler’s empire. Before this treaty Kashmir was ruled by chieftains belonging to empire of Maharaja Ranjit Singh of Punjab. Mr Karan Singh who is a congress MP is direct descendant of Maharaja Gulab Singh. I guess this is sufficient for having a little background on history of J&K.

As you all know we had two golden chances of solving this problem in past. First in 1948 when India got independence, Pakistan attacked Kashmir. Indian military forces captured most of the Kashmir and were on their way to capture rest of it. But Mr Nehru under influence Lord Mountbatten took this matter to UN. UN called for the cease fire and the present LoC became line of cease fire. For this mistake of Nehru, we are still paying even after 60 years. Anyways we had another golden chance in 1971 when we defeated Pakistan and captured 91,000 soldiers. Indian Gandhi failed to capitalize on this opportunity and didn’t press for permanent solution of Kashmir. She and Julfikar Ali Bhutto signed Shimla Agreement which called for settlement of Kashmir dispute to some later date through dialogues and that date still hasn’t come. In these two golden opportunities we could have managed to get the PoK back under our control but anyways history of India is of lost chances where our rulers in modern times, except Chankya and ChandraGupta, failed to be farsighted.

Nehru did another major blunder when he agreed to give J&K special status in Indian territory through article 370 in Indian constitution. This at first gave J&K its own flag, its own prime minister, its own constitution and even you and me would have to show passport to travel J&K. we are not carrying our passports while going for pilgrimage in Vaishno Devi and Baba Amarnath because of Dr Shayama Prasad Mukharjee. Dr Mukharjee was cabinet minister in Congress govt after independence. But as he saw Mr Nehru doing great injustice to the nation by granting special favors to his home state (Mr Nehru was a Kashmiri Pandit), he resigned from Congress and formed Bhartiya Jan Sangh with help from RSS. He decided to travel J&K without any valid document as any ordinary Indian would go to any other state of India. Sheikh Abdullaha arrested him and put him in prison. Dr Mukharjee died in prison in June 1953. His death mystery is still unsolved. After seeing this supreme sacrifice of a respected leader, Nehru amended his mistake regarding travel documents to J&K but rest of the things remained unchanged.

J&K was in relative peace till 1988. After getting defeated in 3 direct wars against India, Pakistan changed its tactics. After seeing success Iranian revolution and Jihad against Russians in Afganistan, General Zia Ul Haq, the military ruler of Pakistan, changed his game plan for destroying India. Pakistan got initial success with Sikh militancy in Punjab so they decided to do the similar thing in Kashmir. On the top of it 1988 general elections in J&K were rigged in favor of Abdullahs by New Delhi. This created a greater resent in Kashmir Valley. By this time Afgans, with help from western countries and Pakistan, were successful in throwing Russians out from their territory. This gave great impetus to terrorist and jehadi elements in Kashmir, who thought that similar thing can be implemented in here. J&K which was known for its tolerance and real secularism was systematically converted to hardcore Jehadi Islam. Kashmiri Pandits who were some 3 lakh in number in valley itself were told to leave or get converted to Islam or be killed. It worked out very well for Jehadis as there are only 10,000 of the Pandits still left in the valley. Around 1000 got killed in terrorist acts after 1990 and rest migrated to other parts of the country and world.

So far none of the great secularists and human right luminaries of India has done any thing about these people who are living like refugees in their own land. And that’s why I believe that so called human right activists and seculars are nothing but anti nationals, who start crying when some one convicted terrorist like Afzal Guru get caught. Well they are on pay roll from foreigners and they are doing their job, atleast they are loyal to some one. But they have forgotten most important thing which is interest of their own country and rest of its population. Anyways I will deal with them in another blog.

After long spell of mayhem and killings J&K again started its walk towards peace after NDA govt under Mr Vajpayee gave them one of the fairest poll. After terrorist attacks in September 2001 in US, things changed for Pakistan. As US woke up after going through the pain which India is suffering from many years. The global war on terror is been beneficial for India and whole world pressurized Pakistan to stop supporting terrorism. People of Kashmir liked taste of peace after so many years. Economy started booming, Hurriyat broke up between so called hardliners or anti national terrorists like Geelani and so called moderates like Mirwaiz Omar Farooq. Well for India none of these Hurriyat people are of any use unless they have some divine revelation of stop spreading hate or getting killed one by one.

Now after successful elections in 2003, J&K was again going for election in this year. And here comes politics of self interest which brought situation to this level. Let me give you some background of political parties in Kashmir Valley who are supposed to have belief in Indian democracy. The main culprit for this current fiasco is PDP of Mufti Muhammad Saeed. Mr Mufti was home minister in VP Singh’s govt. He is the same union home minister, who some says staged kidnapping of his own daughter so that some dreaded terrorists in Kashmir can be freed. Well its just typical Indian politician behavior and I would have ignored that since lots of time has gone by. But my doubts against him and his daughter Mehbuba Mufti as anti nationals and terrorists sympathizers are getting stronger day by day. His party put forward many mind boggling demands which were not even made by dreaded terrorists. One of them is allowing Pakistani currency in Indian Kashmir. I mean what?? Who can say things like that unless they have very sinister, anti national design behind it?

Shri Amarnath Shrine Land Diversion Issue and Real Agenda of Anti Nationals:-

Yatra to Shri Amarnath dham is not started after Buta Malik discovered the route for some 150 years ago. There is a record of pilgrimage to Shri Amarnath Dham in various Hindu scriptures. The real story behind finding of the route involves story of a sage who gave a bag full of coal to Buta Malik so that he can cook food. But as Buta Malik arrives in his home and opens the coal bag he finds gold instead of coal. After seeing gold in bag he wanted to thank that sage and he went searching for him. He couldn't found the sage but he found alternate route to Shri Amarnath Dham. Hindu pilgrims involved family of Buta Malik into management of annual yatra and still give portion of offerings to his present family for doing this favor to them. Have you seen anything like this in world except India?? Shri Amarnath Shrine land diversion issue, which is the starting point of this time wasting anti national agitation, was just a routine land transfer for giving pilgrims more facilities in hostile environment. This land diversion was done to provide temporary pre fabricated shelter to pilgrims in hostile living conditions.

Mufti Sayeed's PDP which came to rule after elections transferred hundreds of acres of forest land to create Baba Gulam Shah Badshah university in Rajori, no one objected to it. Than he ordered cutting of thousands of trees for creation of Mughal Road, no one objected to it. Even though cutting of these trees have created question mark on existence of highly endangered “ Wild Markhor Goat” species. These goats are just 200-300 in numbers in whole world and have been declared highly endangered species. But why Mufti and his ilk will care about endangered species when his like minded anti nationals have driven out another endangered species by name Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir valley? Than he transferred hundreds of acres for Islamic University in Awantipur, no one objected to it. Land to these two universities was given free of cost but when Jammu demanded similar concession for Sharda Peeth University, it was denied. Than he transferred lots of land for various other commercial use and no one objected to it. The land he transferred was also forest land but on one objected because it was right thing to do. But suddenly when some 100 acre of land was transferred for use of pilgrims than whole hell broke lose. His own ministers transferred the land but since he received orders from Islamabad so started playing part in conspiracy created by anti nationals. His daughter along with Omar Abdullah said its their land and they wont give it to any one even for creating temporary shelters.

I once regarded Omar Abdullah as a good leader and even included him in my would be prime ministers list. But after seeing his ugly face in this land transfer issue, he seems to me just like some petty corrupt politician, who can go to any length for getting some stupid votes. Anyways he decided to play regional politics knowing fully that he is just playing in the hands of separatists and anti nationals. When you already have bigger terrorists for the same cause why would someone listen to him? I guess for this decision he and India going to pay heavily. Well I am done with Abdullah.

All these anti nationals along with Hurriyat created fear in Kashmir's general population that permanent colonies are being created in Kashmir and this would change demography of Kashmir. The Hurriyat and all anti nationals failed to remember that its them who changed demography of Kashmir for real since 1989 after driving Pandits out of valley. At that time none of the local Kashmir population protested. Well leave local population, no one in India protested on plight of these Pandits who are living like refugees in their own land.

After our spineless central government bowed down to these separatists false propaganda and canceled the allotment of land people in Jammu instantly felt agitated. There have been no riots in Jammu or any other communal clashes although people were provoked so many times. But denying land for use of temporary use for pilgrimage touched raw nerve of the population and Jammuites belonging to all religions and political affiliations joined the protests against injustice meted out to them for past 60 years.

Even though the Kashmiri anti nationals got what they wanted through concealment of land order transfer they were just waiting for another false propaganda to stoke up hatred against Jammu and rest of India. Kashmir for the first time got the taste of another similar agitation where some people from Jammu attacked trucks from Kashmir. I don’t deny this fact and this happens in all agitations where vehicle on the road become target for mobs. Anti national PDP and Hurriyat lost no opportunity in creating another false propaganda of economic blockade of Kashmir. Even though Army cleaned up the National Highway pretty soon, the anti nationals started March to Muzaffarabad in PoK. One of their leaders Sheikh Abdul Aziz got his punishment of highest order when police got rid of him during those protests. This made whole Hurriyat realize that there number is not far from list of dead so they back tracked from that false march and start shouting in different tunes.

Now you can see the whole game plan from anti nationals. They started their whole activities on false issue and sustained it through false issue and now they don’t talk about it any more because they used those to their favors and now showing their true colors where we can see SA Geelani saying, he is Pakistani. They just wanted a chance to create trouble as its their nature not to remain peaceful. They have been successful in making relatively peaceful Kashmir to troubled region again. Even though Kashmir and its people sustain on us tax payers from India than also instead of being grateful they shout slogans against us. I have solution for their and ours troubles. Just read on..

Solution for Kashmir Problem:-

My proposed solution to Kashmir Problem involves solution of many problems in Af-Pak region too.  I know it wont go down well with so called secularists but for any right minded Indian these points may prove to end what we have as every day problem in Kashmir. As per me the best solution to Kashmir problem includes in making Kashmir non exclusive state and treat it as per with other Indian states. Following are the points we should think about from Indian perspective of solving this issue;

1) I had given lots of thought about making LoC as international border between India and Pakistan. It means that Kashmir’s part which is already there with Pakistan will remain with them. I further thought that those Kashmiris who don’t like to live in India and hate us can simply go and live over there. So if people like SA Geelani and his supporters want we can give them free pass to go and live in Pakistan. All fanatics who think Pak as their country should just go and live there. Let's see that time, if Pakistan accepts them or not. They should be given three options, a) Stay in India Peacefully b) Go and live in Pakistan and do whatever they want over there c) live in prison. Its as simple as that. I don't know why these cheerleaders of Pakistan want to merge with Pakistan when they are seeing what happened with Mujahirs and what is happening in PoK. The whole world is saying Pakistan is a failed state and these morons are cheering for Pakistan.

But this solution is not sustainable as the same problem which we are facing today will still remain. So some major changes in thinking is required. I am NOT in favor of making LoC as international boundary. We need to have the full J&K with us. 

2) The whole Kashmir as you see in map can be ours only if as per current scenario Pakistan breaks up in different countries and its territorial realignment with India & Afganistan. The Af-Pak region realignment would work as follows

a) PoK will be part of India, the sindh province of Pakistan should be given option of merging with India or remain independent. 

b) Balochistan- after merging Afghan & Pakistan territory there should be a new country for Balochs. 

c) Pakhtunistan- the NWFP of Pakistan should be merged with Pakhtun dominated areas of Afganistan. 

d) The Taziks & Uzbek dominated territories can either be independent countries or should get merged with Tajikistan & Uzbekistan. 

e) The pakistani punjab can remain the whatever is remained of Pakistan. 

If religion could unite people in one country their wouldnt have been 56 countries in OIC.

3) Abolish article 370 and let people of India become legitimate part of the state electoral process. This will bring majority of the anti nationals in Kashmir to minority.

4) Divide J&K into three states of Jammu, Kashmir and Laddakh.

5) Just kill those found to be involved in terrorist activities & murders. When China kills Jehadi militants in Xinxiang province than no country on earth criticizes them than why should we bother about criticism.

Independent Kashmir is not an option because independent Kashmir cant survive and any level headed person knows that. Pakistan through its proxies like SA Geelani will annex Kashmir as it has done with PoK.

Greater Autonomy for Kashmir is not an option as I dont know what else we can give as autonomy. So if given autonomy in all aspects of life isnt working fine then just take it back and make this state as any other state of India.

There is a new talk among so called intellectuals of Indian secularism. I mentioned Arundhati Roy earlier. Now we have Vir Sanghvi, Swaminathan A. Aiyar and Jug Suraiya included in this list. They say just give Kashmir away because it seems their majority wants it to be like that. But my dear intellectuals it was the same situation in Punjab, Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland, Manipur, Tripura and even Naxals wants it in all over India so are you guys going to suggest the same thing if some bunch of fanatics and anti nationals get together and demand something from you? If some jehadies get succeeded in getting what they want in Kashmir than whats the guarantee that some Jehadi from bordering area of Assam and Bengal wont start for the same demand. What is the guarantee that some LTTE like organization will also demand the same thing? What is the guarantee that some Khalistan Zindabad Force starts demanding the same thing in Punjab? What is the guarantee that some minority dominated districts here and in India wont start demanding the same thing? These so called intellectuals are just bunch of thugs who wants to comment on any thing in the world. They just think to be different from present prevailing mood they have to resort to cheap gimmicks and risking national integrity to gain some publicity.

Solution to Kashmir problem lies in making it non exclusive as any other Indian state and this policy will change the face of Kashmir. The current agitation for Amarnath Shrine is not a fight between Hindus and Muslims but its fight between Nationals and patriots verses anti national parasites. Those who compare Kashmir with Tibet Issue of China miss one important fact. Tibet was never part of China’s Geography and never linked culturally with China while Kashmir from time immemorial is in ethos of India. We already suffered one partition of our motherland but not any more. These solution require the will of a nation to stand as one in case of situations like this but when we have so many anti national, publicity hungry secular columnists and intellectuals, we will continue to face all sorts of difficulties as these parasites and viruses are making India sick from with in. the sooner we get rid of these viruses the better its for health of the nation. Arise and awake Indians. Take destiny of this nation in your hand. There should be only one Passion.. Rise of this Great Nation…
