When I read the section 370, it feels like Kashmir is an entirely different place, like it's not India. And what's most saddening is that any Pakistani can invade and claim the membership by just marrying a kashmiri girl.
So this is like inviting terrorists and hoping they won't create disturbances.
A girl can be brain washed, forced or fooled in false love to get married.
Just one single foolish mistake of a girl and you give these terrorists an entry ticket.
So all pakistani people who intend to do so, have an easy way in.!
One more thing that worries me are these two sides of the coin.
One is the relative side and other is the army men side.
Although the Kunan Pashora incident makes me doubtful about the army men but along with that, the attitude of kashmiri people is much more devastating.
Indian Army in Kashmir has always served India at it's best, mother earth has lost so many jawans in this fight of Kashmir.
A few weeks back I saw a post on a BJP India Facebook group where a man posted saying that- "Yes, we agree that Army men do rape in Kashmir and that is because when congress was in power, army men were treated like animals with no self respect, and since now BJP gave them power and some basic rights they were deprived of, now the army men do rapes out of frustration. (Frustration that they weren't given power when Congress ruled) Because the best way to take revenge from a mob of people who threw stones at them is to rape their women and that is why kunan pashora happened and it will keep on happening and BJP is proud of it"
This was what a bhakt has to say.
But then this is stupid. I'm not anti-bhakt.
Few of them are right, they have their facts checked. And I'm sure they don't support the statement above.
Well the man who gave this statement was completely wrong and mislead, BJP can never support this sick mentality but some senseless bhakts do support it.
I don't think army will kill innocents for nothing to gain.
Along with this AFSPA is not the solution.
There is something called circumstantial evidence. And the Army does not need to make any claim. They have the power to kill anyone.
But this is not going to get any solution. If you have to save lives, you have to make sure the Kashmiris stop listening to separatist bigots. (And letting in Pakistani people is the worst you can do for yourselves and for India as well)
Burhan's killing is really sad. Not because he was a hero or something, but because he was young and could have contributed in many other ways to the cause of Kashmiris.
When you pick up weapon in the name of Azadi that is based on religious bigotry, you lose credibility.
People call him Bhagat Singh of Kashmir. I am sorry, he is not even close.
I hope sanity returns to the Valley and Kashmiris use non-violent methods to ask for anything that they want.
I am not a Bhakt Nationalist who thinks Burhan must have been killed or that all protestors should be killed. But, the state will retaliate if someone uses violence.
This is why Gandhi was against violence and he got Independence for a much bigger piece of land against a much bigger and powerful state.
So, time for all youngsters to leave the path of stone pelting and participate in democracy to demand the removal of AFSPA first. Azadi, means a lot of things.
Kashmiri people say they face a lot but they should understand that stone pelting will only make things worst. If you're innocent, use the peaceful way out, I know it's easily said than done.
But in the conditions you're in, that's the best way out.
So, It's our will that which side of the coin we believe is right.
