An Indian Muslim student leader’s open letter to Kashmiris

[nahtanbob]

Yes, because it isn't true for India.

Replacing one set of kleptocrats with another set is your idea of fight against oppression

 

[Pradotlc]

Honestly, these numbers used to be 10s of thousands 15 years ago. They are still the same? Shouldn't they be upgraded to 10s of lakhs?

you have done complete media black out

there is something called the internet... use it

 

[Pradotlc]

Replace India with Pakistan
Is it any different ?

the difference is people

broadly speaking the Pakistani people are a better bunch than indians any day any time

yes we had a terrible military that did awful things in 1971 and even today... but you never the majority of Pakistani think what was done to Bengalis was correct.

Unlike indians that openly support their gov miserable behavior towards Kashmirs and shamelessly call for the mass rape, murder etc .. relax we have people like that too they are called noonies ie supporters of Nawaz sharif and army junta...

they are rotten because they refuse to fight for the truth... Pakistan is like 10% noonies and indian is like 90% noonies.

 

[Pradotlc]

I don't think you quite get it.

Muslim Indians supported Pakistan movement but later regretted it as they realised that if Hindustan had been undivided they would have converted into Muslim majority by now.

In pre partition era there was very less sectarian and ethnic tension among South Asian Muslims. One could say you were united.

there were serious discrimination by the hindus run up to independence , plus the horrible violence unleashed by hindus was further proof and independent muslim homeland was needed

Fix your history books. Then we can speak

Is there evidence of PTI being Kleptocratic? A few individuals, maybe, but the party as a whole? Nope.

Meanwhile whenever PPP and PMLN come to power, not only is there wide spread corruption, but even the general public and lower level officials (like police) start their corruption as well. I've see this first hand. When PTI came to power, a lot of that shit stopped.

A few individuals ? Practically the entire cabinet quit the PTI after the army told them to.
Before taking power they actively worked with the Pakistani army to topple and to undermine the existing civilian governments. Everything was fine with the Pakistani army until they were shown the door

Dear Kashmir and Kashmiris,

Even though I am writing to you from the faraway mainland of India, trust me it comes straight from my heart where you dwell like my loved ones. We people from the mainland have to climb the steep stairs of mountains to reach your beautiful Valley whose beauty is a spin-off of firdaus (heaven) on earth. Tomes of paeans have been composed to measure its elegance, yet it remains a task in the making.

I feel that you people have climbed the tallest mountain – the mountain of choosing the power of decision over a blood-soaked dilemma that devoured generations of your youths and laid waste to your creative geniuses. It was not merely a loss of Kashmir; it was a catastrophe for India. The tears that welled from Mother's eyes rolled down to the heartland of India. And every Indian who has a pure heart has been drenched in their pain as profoundly as a mother’s wailing invokes.

The clock has however turned. The people are back on the streets with aspirations, thronging every nook and corner, forcing their leaders to come down among them to solicit their ballots. See the coverage of ongoing elections, the people would be seen taking part in the elections with a fervour that truly defines the vivacious spirit of Kashmiriyat.

They are bravely vetting their would-be legislators. They are forthright in their unanimous query: how will you shape the future of our coming generations? The answer has to be graft-free and answerable governance. They are yearning for governance that will instill trust in Kashmiris and show the path to the future that is free of fear, from either side of the border.

Talking of border, dear Kashmiris, the scourge of militancy that recently returned to largely Jammu as the Union Territory was bracing up for elections has emanated only from across the border. But it will die with its ill design sooner than the estimate of those who have raised it as a tool of a war-defeated nation.

It will be another foolhardy mission for them if they continue to paddle this misadventure. Even their future, dear
Kashmiris, lies in cooperation and the joint rise of Asia. No nation, especially in poverty-ridden Asia, can afford to wage a war. It is a recipe for self-destruction. No one knows this better than Pakistan. So, let’s pray that better sense prevails in their leadership.

One feels heartened to note that the story of Kashmir is moving from gloom to flourish. Reporters of almost every mainstream media outlet are meeting people in Srinagar who say, “We have better roads, more businesses are re-opening, and there is a sense of normalcy returning.” People are moving freely, businesses are growing, and there is a sense of peace that was not felt in years. Downtown Srinagar, once a flashpoint of unrest, is witnessing a remarkable revival. The area surrounding Jama Masjid, which was once deserted, is now full of life. Lal Chowk has also seen a remarkable transformation.

The Lal Chowk presents a picture of Srinagar competing and beats most of the prominent cities of the world. This landmark is so unique. It erects the memories of what Kashmir has seen over the years – promises kept and broken. Yet, it is a minaret of hopes that unfurls on its top an invisible flag of Kashmir’s perseverance that has defied all doomsayers.

Tourism is the most remarkable indicator of change in the Valley. Data shows a record rise in the number of national and international tourists in Kashmir. Lal Chowk, Gulmarg, Sonmarg, and Dal Lake are a few favourite destinations. These visitors contribute to the economy and development of the region. You Kashmiris know best that tourism has been the bedrock and lifeblood of your economy. The more it will flourish, the more you will prosper.

Another and most noticeable change perceived in mainland India about Kashmir is the remarkable feats that young Kashmiris have achieved in the fields of education, sports, and innovation. Girls are outshining boys, like what we see in the rest of India.

Therefore, dear Kashmiris, you are at a new threshold today. You have to usher in the new dawn from here and wake up in a day that will help you leave the past only in the past. It doesn’t mean that the grief will disappear and the wounds will heal suddenly. They should not. But, they, as Rumi said, must make way for the light to enter. Wounded souls illuminate the whole world. Who will know this wisdom better than you, Kashmiris? Let your Kashmir be the lantern of India!

Yours' Truely,

Dr Shujaat Ali Quadri

President, Muslim Students Organisation of India

Everyone in politics is despicable at a certain level. If you are looking for sainthood or perfection keep looking

They didn't just quit, they or their families were kidnapped, tortured, or just plain disappeared.

They did NOT work with the military before taking power, that is was myth perpetuated by PMLN and PPP, or did you forget the "selected government" mantra?

 

[Guynextdoor]

Freedom of movement amd association is denied in Kashmir. In India itself, Muslim mosques are torn down based upon false rumors and made up stories, Muslims are lynched with government officials literally supporting the murderers, Muslims are targeted on mere suspicion and the government backs that suspicion.

If you can be murdered on mere suspicion, you aren't free.

That's why there are elections, campaigning and political parties. Waah.

 

[That_Guy]

That's why there are elections, campaigning and political parties. Waah.

Sham elections where being anti-Muslim wins you elections.

Campaigning where open contempt for Muslims is not only shown but openly encouraged.

Muslim political parties that have no chance of winning, because they've been astroturfed to shit.

Why are you arguing with this Indian poster? All of them have a hardon on seeking Pakistani validation and when doesn't work, they’ll attack us with vile lies and names
