Agar firdaus ba ruay zami ast, ami asto, ami asto, ami ast!!

Have youever visited Kashmir? If the answer is yes, then I can bet you, that, you would have been mesmerized by its beauty . I guess that is the reason , why it is called “The heaven on earth.” But after seeing the news reports about the incidents occurringin the city, everyone is just left terrified. The first thought that strikes us is that why so much of bloodshed? What is the war really about? Why is the river Jhelum, filled with blood of innocent victims, who were thrown in it in order to hide them?

Kashmir , due its present situation has no longer remained a paradise for India. Seeing the present scenario, one can just that , it isnothing more than the breeding place for militants, terrorists and proxies of Pakistan that are directed towards India. The terrorist activities in the city are mostly conducted by ISI (inter service intelligence ) of Pakistan which usually uses, religion as their weapon to ignite masses to join them which mostly includes the youth. The other organizations, adding on to the terror includes, Harkat-ul-Jihad al-Islami, Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Hizbul Mujahideen, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front, which also use religion as their main weapon.

If we go in the history of the state, all this started in the year 1989, with the violence against the Kashmiri pundit’s which included, the slogansthat demanded for “Nijam-e- Mustafa”, that meant the rule of Prophet. The city was ignited within a month after the incident , mosques used to ask the public, “Pakistan se rishta kya?”, to the surprise, the people replied,“ La-Ilaha-illallah”. The situation worsened and all the kashmiri pandits were rehabilitated from the area due to the increase in violence against them. That was were the paradise was no longer left the same.

     KASHMIR IS THE REAL TEST OF SECULARISM IN INDIA.

But , why is this war, going on? Well, the irony is that , we have come so long in this way , that actually most of the people do not actually knowwhat they are fighting for, is that Kashmir or the difference in their religious opinions? Because of our differences, the valley has suffered a lot, there is not even a single day when the roads of the valley haven’t seen blood.The locals of the valley arebeing sandwiched between the situation prevailing there. There is zero employment in the valley for the youth , which is the result of the circumstances created by us. Why can’t we all peacefully decide , what all of us want? Why can’t Kashmir be the place of peace and happiness and no bloodshed and war?

The problem in Kashmir is not because of the political issues in the statebut is due to the hatred which is deposited between the religions. The tactics used here, once created a disaster and if not changed , there is not muchtime left that they would create one again.
