ONLY TALKS AND NO SOLUTION
From the bloody insurgency of
Naxalites to the terrorism in Kashmir, the root cause of the problem is deeply
existent in the dichotomy of the state in the propagation and application of
its policies. The practice of the state has been completely in contravention to
what it claims to stand for.
If India is a secular and
democratic country why should it lay any importance to the communal groups of
Kashmir separatists and think their advocacy about the aspiration of people as
the aspirations of entire J&K people. And what these aspirations are all
about by the way? The ongoing turmoil in the last sixteen years has more than
exposed the gamut of these aspirations from hard core terrorist leaders to the
moderate mainstream Mehbooba Mufti that these aspirations are nothing but
communal manifestations to hoodwink the innocent people and exploit them in the
name of religion and Islamic rule through the slogan of Aazadi, Self rule and
Autonomy.
No one in Kashmir is concerned
about the problems of the poor masses that do not hold any political clout. The
situation is terribly grim and alarming to the extent that on the one hand, the
crooks and criminals along with the anti social elements have amassed huge
fortunes and those with humble and honest means of livelihood are left with
very little options to choose between the devil and the deep sea.
The fault is again in the
acceptance of any situation as it surfaces at a given time and not going deep
in its root to eliminate it. The Kashmir problem is the outcome of a weak
democracy surviving on patchwork solutions of problems on communal divisions of
society. Pakistan has taken advantage of this situation and made the best of
this already flared up contradiction. If today it spreads its tentacles of
terrorism to the limits of entire country, just blaming ISI will not suffice
the reason.
There is only one solution to
Kashmir problem and that lies in treating it at par with all other states of
India. There is no reason of its being different, unique or special from any
other part of the country. Every state of India has its unique and general
characteristics as has got Kashmir also. Why is it that a Kashmiri can settle
down in any part of India, carry on his business and enjoy the privileges of
the said place to its hilt and deny the same to the people of other states in
Kashmir? The duplicity in the nature of this kind of relation for a prolonged
period in the minds of the people in Kashmir has created a feeling of
separatist tendency to more extent than any other annihilation. The relation of
the state of J&K with the rest of the state becomes in itself conspicuous
in the mind of an average person in and outside J&K by such nature of the
relation.
Pakistani rulers want to consolidate their dividends of ongoing terrorism on the nature of this
relation of India with Kashmir. They try to capitalize by hoodwinking the
entire world leadership on peaceful solution whilst their own stance and utterances
have nothing new to offer.
Pakistan has been calling this
hot and cold from the same breath since 1947. It has a clear history of deceit
and duplicity in its claim on Kashmir. It has fought three regular wars and has
been bleeding Kashmir for the 16 years without any reason, how can
one believe the foreign Ministry of Pakistan or Mushraf statement to give up
claim on Kashmir. Pakistan is habitual of doing things by proxy. Pakistan
President represents its people by Proxy, it is fighting its war with India by
Proxy, it sends its regular army to fight in Kargil by proxy, now it wants to
have Kashmir by proxy, though it does not seem to be claiming it any more. The
reason behind this all proxy is that Pakistan has emerged in existence by
proxy.
Pakistan is a living example of
how the artificial alliances sought in the name of religion do tear away with
the passage of time when other interests of economic and cultural relations are
confronted and clash. The divisive policies to make further divisions on
communal basis will ultimately prove harmful for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
It is high time that Mushraf
instead of asking India to withdraw forces from J&K completely stops
training terrorists on its soil and sending them to valley for creating mayhem.
Give respite to Kashmiris from the clutches of terror.
Indian army will have least role
to play in Kashmir after the end of Militancy in Kashmir.
But what is the outcome? The
solution is not come. Because nothing is changed.
Apparently yes, nothing will
change but the end of Militancy will see end to all problems created and
sustained by it.
Having said that, the intentions
of Pakistan are fairly obvious in the manner its involvement in Mumbai blasts
was affirmed not only by Indian investigating Agencies but by American
Authorities also. We are quite familiar with the reports of Pakistani intelligence agencies and terrorist groups spreading their tentacles in and
around India to create terror networks and weaken Indian state by carrying
terror strikes in India. In this atmosphere of mistrust joint mechanism on any
mutual Indo-Pak venture looks as a crude joke. (@copy2008)
