(Aspirational Kashmir, June 4); The discription given by Rajeev Pandita and Brig Anil Gupta in the cover story of Organiser titled ‘Aspirational Kashmir’ clears the point that most of the youths in Kashmir Valley have been demoralised and thus have become anti national through machination of Pakistan. It is a shameful thing that Pakistan has been impudently trying not only to destabilise Kashmir but also to vitiate the minds of the innocent Kashmiri youth. The statement of the former militants has made it clear that the Pakistani forces are the forces behind gun culture and stone pelting in Kashmir Valley. It is deplorable that the Valley which had been famous for natural beauty that could attract saints and seers in the past is now being turned violent and disturbed. The stone pelters and anxiety ridden youth who are turning out to be militants for fun must learn that Pakistani induced militancy throws them out of the main stream of the nation. It is surprising that those who provoke youth are leading luxurious lives making the youth scapegoats. The State Government should be cooperative with the Central Government in curbing terrorism and solid efforts should be put into this to make it a big success. Provisions of employment opportunities, entertainment channels like video theatres and cine theatres should be reopened, value based educational system enlightening youth against terrorism and border security force being strengthened can diffuse the conflict.

New form of ‘Love Jihad’
Recently a report appeared in all the news papers that a Hyderabadi Muslim women was enticed by a Pakistani to marry him and after having fathered five children on her, the woman was thrown out of Pakistan and was forced to come back to India. This is not the only case. Here is a one more case: An Indian Muslim woman, Uzma was enticed (forced) by a Pakistani to marry him while in Malaysia. After fathering a child her Pakistani husband behaved so cruelly with her that Uzma with her Pakistani-sired child was forced to come back to India. It appears that the ‘Love Jihad’ has several methods of enticing Indian girls begetting children and then throwing them into India, thus increasing the Muslim population. In the years of conquest the victorious Muslim soldiers used to rape and impregnate as many Hindu women as possible to increase the Muslim fathered population of India. The same practice they have adopted now.

Traitor on TV Channel
What is so special about Sonia-licker Mani Shankar Aiyar? He cannot stand a second person beside him; he is foul-mouthed, loose-tongued and inhumanly fastidious. Why social media call him to talk show, to hear vulgarity against ruling alliance? Mani Shankar has joined hands with pro-Pakistani and terrorists elements of Kashmir. He is utterly anti-national, anti-Hindu; he does not like Veer Savarkar and Chhatrapati Shivaji. He dare not travel in Maharashtra; he prefers to remain close to Sonia and Rahul. He was seen in a talk show arranged by a social media after Shri Modi got elected as the PM. And in that talk show Mani Shankar used unparliamentarily language against Shri Narendra Modi. It is strange and very unfortunate that the concerned English TV channel did not kick out Mani Shankar from that show. In fact few months later Mani Shankar was again invited by the same TV channel, perhaps partly owned by dynasty. Why such traitor is not apprehended and put behind bars indefinitely?

Dharma and Religion
(Beyond Formal Education, May 21); This refers to the article ‘Beyond Formal Education’ by Swami Nara Shimhananda in Organiser. It has been stated that, “Religious education can show path to an enquiry into peace and fulfillment” and has finally concluded that religion for study to be chosen “should be a religion one is born into”. The writer has not been able to make differences between ‘Dharma’, which is universal and eternal or ‘Sanatana’, and religion which is narrow and teaches hatred against others, such as Islam and Christianity. One can see that all those who are taught Quran and Islam in madrasas, become jihadis and terrorists. The problem is that we are being governed by a Constitution which is based on Gandhian and Nehruvian misconception. Muslims kill cows inside their mosque, the place of worship whereas the Hindus the follower of Dharma consider cow as a pious animal and even worship it. Hindus never kill others but Muslims consider it a pious job to kill non-Muslims and are doing it throughout the world. I feel that the writer is not well versed with the knowledge of Islam and Muslims.

Right Step
It is a misfortune for India that the notorious ‘argumentative Indian’ seems have lost his sense of propriety and nationalism, and is fuelling an environment of derision and contempt against the apolitical Indian Army and the chief of the Army Staff, on the issue of human shield which Major Nitin Leetul Gogoi had executed in an innovation effort to discourage stone-pelters in Jammu and Kashmir. In an out-of-the-box measure, Major Gogoi saved several lives. But instead of hailing his non-combat action, he is being condemned by the usual anti-national section of Indian liberals and their cronies in some leading national dailies. One New Daily assailed the Army Chief’s defence of his Major as wrong, adding that Gogoi’s action could undermine the Army’s prestige. Its contention was that even the violation of one man’s human rights was unacceptable. The violations of human rights of thousands of security forces and other patriotic forces in Jammu and Kashmir were clearly of no concern of the guilty media and the so-called liberal sections. Their duplicity is colossal, hence it would be right to ridicule them and praise the Army Chief’s tough stand.

Change in Mindset is Essential
There are people who say that military force cannot resolve the Kashmir problem and proposes instead a political solution. However neither the military nor a political solution will be durable, as long as the religious angle is ignored. The majority of the Kashmiris identify today with Islam. Yet originating around 850 Common Era, Kashmiris propagated the profound philosophy of Kashmir Shaivism. Chaitanyam Atma is the first Sutra of the Shiva Sutras. There is no division in humanity. Atman is consciousness and it is in all. Unless there is a change in the exclusivist mind set of Muslims and also in Christians, not only India, but also the world will continue to have problems.

Beef Festival
This refers to the ongoing ridiculous and troll brand of politics being deliberately practiced in some parts of the country to vitiate the communal harmony and to lower the overall broader image of the nation in the international community. This kind of sacrilegious act is glaringly bullish, highly provocative, undesirable and unwarranted as well as the blatant defiance of the established rule of law together with laid down principles of natural justice. This is mockery of the democratic and judicial system in a place having the largest democracy of the world. The gory episode also tears into the civil and moral code of conduct of a robust nation of 130 million people. The moot point is why such unsavory things start happening at a bullet pace with a communal tinge whenever the Central dispensation thinks of pushing in any kind of reformatory measure in the current set up. Arguably the political Opponents do enjoy a right to disagree with the initiatives of the ruling class as per the democratic procedures and practices but certainly they are not at liberty to indulge into any nonsense which is unbecoming of the age old civilised society and is grievously hurtful to the majority of their countrymen. By virtue of these extremely provocative gimmicks we spoil our image in the world community. It also torpedoes our economic growth and stability. Our Constitution is the pivot of governance for any elected Government which is mandated to conduct the affairs of the country strictly in accordance with the provisions enshrined in the Constitution. There is no Constitutional sanction to slaughter the cow progeny in public and hold beef parties on the lines of celebration of religious, social, cultural or national festivals. Therefore, such heinous acts of some segments of society are contrary to the spirit of Constitution and are instrumental in injecting communal venom in entire strata of the society. All animals are divine creation but cow is held in the highest esteem by the predominant Hindu community in India. Ours is pluralistic society which calls for mutual respect and perseverance in the spirit of the Constitution. All over the world different countries have made laws for prevention of cruelties to the animals excepting China and Saudi Arabia. There is no denying the fact that some anti-social and anti-national elements do indulge in illegal trade and smuggling of animals and also cause unbearable cruelties to the animals. Any dispensation worth its name shall be morally bound to eradicate such practices and regulate and rationalise the animal trade in the country. Disagreements and differences can be settled in the selected democratic forum. Hope the good sense prevails on one and all sooner the better.
