The Unhappiness factory of kashmir -Usual reactions

http://inpec.in/2012/05/07/the-unhappiness-factory-of-jammu-and-kashmir/ ,written by a dear friend as anticipated has generated responses which are typical of any piece on Kashmir , where one sees Kashmir as it is . The responses are ,its written by Neo Ikhwani ( Ikhwani's were the renegades in kashmir ),its conspiracy of Indian state , Indian media , etc etc ... Most of you those who don't follow Kashmir ,such responses have become raison de etre for such People . But what worries me , do they actually belive in what they say , closing their eyes to the reality or they are just doing it for the Audience. If its for audience , I reserve my comments but if they genuinely believe then its a cause of worry .Blaming Indian media continously is quite surprising since most of the media houses in India are filled with people from Kashmir , just few days back Indian express had carried a full details about pathribal incident which provided a graphic details of the alleged fake encounter ,yet the indictment of Indian Media continuously baffles me.I implore upon my fellow kashmiri's to look beyond conspiracy , take cognizance of reality .Aspiration for azaadi can go hand in hand with the reality , it doesnt entail distorting the facts ......

Girls filmed, clips sold Parents beware: Porn racket hits Valley- INDIA

This is one of the Headlines of one news portal and apparently it gives some insight into how Everyday many clips of young men and women in compromising positions exchange hands through cell phone transfers and via Bluetooth. Many a times these clips are sold for as little as Rs.10 or as high as Rs 500 with buyers available across the valley.This new MMS scandal phenomena is not new in fact now people have become immune to such videos in whole of south asia. But what struck me how this is debated and discussed in various forums of Kashmiri people. Rather than introspecting it and looking at holistically, they have started attributing this social problem to India as well .Here is one such comment by one individual" Besides, all this we have to understand that we live under an occupation of a nation whose religion teaches them to worship sexual parts of their gods and their political, and economical culture is outcome of a "Brahmin-Banya Civilization" whose sexual appetite is far worse than the church and whose love for Laxmi is has blinded them of every thing. These factors have direct influence on our culture which is injected into our children via various means. I remember Mahabarata and other such programes used to be telecasted DD 1 everyone used to watch them eagerly. It was before cable tv came to kashmir" This comment is not an aberration , its reflection of the mindset of vast people of kashmir , where every problem is today attributed to India . In short run ,it might assist in deflecting the core problems and get some poltical mileage ,but in Long run such mindset will deimate the analytical assessment capacities of the society,which no "Azaadi" can repair . follow on twitter :rajumoza
