This is my first blog. Am not very much interested in writing. But the current proceedings in kashmir have led me to take up this blog thing. Analysing is what should be done by common people and media. But our so called independent and free media is doing is using this issue to sell more and more copies. The condition there is not so pathetic as it's being shown. And the media is making the Kashmiri's emerge as a villain in the mind's of common people. This sad situation is being used by political parties to increase their vote bank. The decision regarding the land allotment was not a good decision in my view. The shrine board has been using that land for the past few years and there has been no problem at all. But this decision can change a lot of things. Most of the people living in baaltal and regions around amarnath thrive on tourists for their living. What they earn in these 2 months is there net income for the most of the year. If the land might hav been given to the shrine board, than the shrine board would hav total monopoly over the services over there. And the people living there would hav to lead a miserable life which they are still living. They are the most unlucky people. If they want to protest for their demands, they are shot by the police. And they are called the traitors. What would one do in such conditions. He and his family are dying of hunger or by bullets of terrorists and police. Anyone, even i would try and go with the people who would give one time meal to my families. And then comes the role of the terrorists, who use this golden opportunity to increase thier strength. and they do it quite well when they use the religion as the seed for making them jehadis. V cant deny that this hinduwadi sanghatans might hav huge financial backing from these terrorists to promote regionalism at such a crucial time. I still cant understand how this land allotment was against muslims or in favour of hindus. The amarnath shrine was first located by a muslim and he had been the preist for a long time their. what else is required to say that religion is not a bar in this nation. Suddenly came the VHP and BJP saying that the govt had insulted hinduism. How is a bit of land the issue of pride of these religions. People of india should behave responsibly on this issue and should not let their political views change on such an issue which is being created by political parties for their own benifit which is painful for all of us and especially the innocent and poor people of kashmir. The people there are really helpful and are not the way they are being presented.
I apologise for my writing skills as they aren't very good and the problems u will face while reading this article.
