Case for a separate Jammu

The very intrinsic necessities of life have never made one flirt with issues of parting ways but have only brought many under the same umbrella, but as the human race evolutes from simplicity to complexities so does its leanings. Though the science claims, that we humans come from ancestries linked very close, regardless of races, nations, faiths, creeds and all the divisions made, but the nature of species tells otherwise. Throughout the history, circumstances have lead unions and divisions, of course on merits altogether different. No doubt that the argument of the division of any kind is always ridiculous and hate breeding, but happens to be a reality against all odds. We humans, however same in Genesis, have diversities throughout. Every person on the planet carries some sort of identity. Every race has its medium of communication, which it calls its mother tongue, a distinct way of life and ethical values, which they may call their culture, except for few a belief system too. These aspects. however extrinsic have a great romance in one’s heart and thoughts, and as I mention it above that “ species evolutes from simpler to complex” these aspects find more leanings in people. There is nothing wrong to be sceptical about this, it’s rather natural. Where at one hand it divides people it also makes sure that every race respects the other at the another, if one pledges loyalty to his identity, he implicitly acknowledges the same for the other as well, that is how beautifully nature enshrines harmony and understanding.

Kashmir; A Local Account


In almost last two months nearly about 100 citizens have lost their lives at the hands of the security forces, agitating the encounter of the slain Hizb militant Burhan Muzaffar Wani. Here in Jammu, just another part of the same state the popular reaction is diagonally opposite, to the people here and almost throughout rest of India he was a terrorist but to the people of Kashmir he was a militant and a freedom fighter but a terrorist, here a mark of confusion is more literal in sense than that of narrative, maybe these two words  “Terrorist” and “Militant” have quite same resemblance but actually have totally different meanings, A Militant is a person who has taken up arms for some purpose, can be good as well as bad but at the other hand Terrorist means a person who terrorises others for eg; to a school going kid a bully is a terrorist or to an innocent farmer a land grabber is a terrorist, So the point here is about  the difference in characters of the same actors in respect to different  audiences.
