Kashmiris Voices
Kashmiris Voices
What is happening these days on both sides of Line of control ?
Simple answer: Both armies are killing Kashmiris.
Why are they killing Kashmiris ?
Simple answer: Both have only one solution for Kashmir problem,and that is:MUKAWE KASHMIRIEN NAU,KHAT’M KARO NA KASHMIRIYOON KO,(KILL ALL KASHMIRIS AND FINISH THE KASHMIR PROBLEM).
What are army of India,militants, terrorists and anti-national movement elements doing ?
Simple answer: They are killing innocent people by massacring them in the Algerian
style.In this way they are helping both Indian and Pakistan rulers to finish off the Kashmiri people.
What is the world’s conscience doing?
Simple answer: The world conscience is doing a job in the State Department of the U.S.A.and the West.They are also busy in Iraq and Palestine,killing the people of these countries with enormous petro-dollar bootyformrich Muslim countries.They have no ears to listen and no eyes to see the unfortunate Kashmiri.
What are the Muslims of the world doing ?
Simple answer: They are licentious.
What are the Kashmiris doing ?
Simple answer:Waiting for Gods help.“Someday ALLAH may help us.”
What is God (ALLAH) doing ?
Simple answer: God is sending blind rulers to rule over the Indians and Pakistanis (blind of thinking and blind of the poor peoples feelings) because Indian and Pakistan rulers are spending billions of dollars on nuclear programs to finish each other off. If there is hesitation in destruction by weapons of mass destruction then in that case they will resort to economic destruction of each other. It could be Gods revenge.
How can the people of India and Pakitan save themselves from the re-venge
of God?
Simple answer: Both countries must withdraw from both parts of Kashmir. Let our Kashmir be united and let our Kashmir become an inde-pendent state.
“If the struggle for freedom was to be stopped by court rulings,there would have been hardly any free nation on earth today.If the evolution of civilization, democracy and freedom was to be prevented by the existing judicial or administrative system no revolu-tion would have taken place from the begining of history.”
"Leave before Kashmir becomes ghostly for you!"
The reality of India,however,to every ordinary Kashmiri, is an ugly,vicious reality they encounter every day,every ten steps at every checkpost,during every humiliating search.According to the Indian army,there are never at any time more than 3,000-4,000 militants operating in the Valley.But there are between 5,00,000-8,00,000 Indian soldiers there.An armed soldier for every 10-15 people.
By way of comparison,there are 1,60,000 US soldiers in Iraq.Clearly,the Indian army is not in Kashmir to control militants,it is there only to control the Kashmiri people.
In totally misrepresenting the truth of what’s really going on.How can we even talk of ‘solutions’ when we simply deny the reality ?

Daily War is Peace
The question is that in the lightof what has beensaid above ,what could be the basison which the Indians would want the people of the State to remain associated with them?
“Kashmir has been wrongly looked upon as a prize for India or Pakistan.People seem to forget that Kashmir is not a commodity for sale or to be bartered.It has an individual existence and its people must be the final arbiters of their future.”
-- Zahida Pirani.
80,000 PEOPLE -MISSING
Now download and Screen-HALF-WIDOWS
May you organize screening a Film?
Dear friend,
Title
"Still, I am waiting….a Half-widow”
Synopsis:
This is a story of missing people, boys and men who were picked up by security forces and then simply disappeared. The location is Kashmir. Sandwiched between India and Pakistan, Kashmir is a battleground for both. Since the men are missing, not declared dead their wives are not widows but half widows’ .The half widows need extraordinary courage in Living. Personally they live with the memories of their love. They have to suddenly switch From being the Woman in the veil at home to a Bread-earner.
“If they protested the disappearance, it could start a paper trail that would delay their son or daughter from being processed through the system, and it could quite possibly endanger their lives. On the other hand, is they decided to wait until their children were given back to them, without ever saying a word, they might be kept waiting forever."
Being a relative of a 'disappeared' person means above all emptiness; emptiness in the heart, emptiness in the home, in your day-to-day life. It means remembering every day. It also means being a person isolated from society, in a special category, because for most people 'disappearance' does not exist... But life must go on -not only for oneself but for the children while some are still caught in conflicts with their in-laws, the State, religion and day-to-day livelihood.
Their psychiatric problems add to the statistic that Kashmir has the highest number of psychotic patients in the world. These women are true survivors of a cruel period in the history of this paradise on earth. The first result of a society living in the midst of war is a sharp increase in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSDT) patients These women have not only lost their support but are also being marginalized and have no Status left in society. According to psychologists, total denial and repression is rare for children. Children also relive the event in another way than adults.
The disappeared person is a type of living-dead, because it's someone who is dead because you can say, 'he can't be alive', but on the other hand it doesn't give you the certainty that he is dead. He wasn't dead. He wasn't buried.
