DON'T SELL KASHMIR ("It isn't the time to cry but the time to unite and fight for one COMMON cause")


If you ever loved your mother then it’s the time to show that you really do love her…!

800 canals of land has somehow been transferred to SASB (Shri Amarnath Shrine Board)…The State Government says that it’s temporary but we all know that it’s permanent…
A total violation of the Article 370…The very article which was used to convince Kashmiris to call themselves as Indians…The article which promised to protect and safeguard the identity of Kashmir…

Article 370, according to which no foreigner not even an Indian citizen other than the state subject of Jammu and Kashmir can buy any property in the state
( http://www.jammu-kashmir.com/documents/jk_art370.html )

And here we stand, almost 60 years later trying to absorb the decision of the state government to transfer 100 acres of our state land to SASB…And that too happens to be the resourceful and protected forest land…!

The reasons which the state government is giving for the so called transfer of land are totally unaccepted and ridiculous…they say that SASB needs some land to raise their structures for a better organized and improved Amarnath Yatra for the pilgrims…

(It won’t take a genius to figure out the evil in the deal)…
Why State Government doesn’t raise the structures themselves under the control and guidance of Central Government with funds given by SASB just like the way PMGSY is currently operating in our state….
THEN WHY THE NEED TO TRANSFER LAND ???????????

Trust me people, it’s just a beginning…A beginning of an end…The end which will see us Kashmiris with nothing left but some nostalgic memories of the days when we used to play in the streets and alleys of the place we once called home…!
It’s time to raise our voices and fight for one COMMON cause…and this time it’s our very own cause…

In the eighteen years of my existence, this happens to be the first time when I think the cause is just and genuine, the cause is common, the cause of an ordinary kashmiri just like me or you…it’s the first time that we are finally fighting for something our very own…united with a single aim and single objective…The first time when I feel, that it’s time to get united and join hands to save Kashmir…

No, this is not an ‘independence day’ fight…or a cry for a republic…or any other political issue…but it’s our very own issue…It’s an issue of every kashmiri…
We can’t let them sell our mother…
We can’t keep quiet this time…We can’t let them rob us of our identity…We have to fight and fight it through…

No, I don’t believe in breaking my neighbors’ window or burning the cars of our fellow Kashmiris…Or raising anti-India slogans…We need to think and think deeply…What we want and what are we fighting for…

Trust me, this time the writing is on the wall…it’s very clear what we really are fighting for…we are struggling to save our identity…we are fighting to save our mother…we are striving to prevent the violation of the very article which gave our predecessors enough reasons to chose India over Pakistan..
We must realize whom we are fighting for and whom we are fighting against…No, we are not fighting against our neighbors or the fellow motorists on the roads but it’s a fight against the violation of Article 370 by our state government…
We must fight till last…We can’t give in…We can’t give up…

If you ever thought you were a patriot then it’s time to show that your blood is of a Kashmiri…Please don’t just sit in your homes criticizing and contemplating the fact that we are being victimized…
It’s time to wake up and realize the fact that ‘Kashmiriyat’ is on the verge of a forced extinction…

No, I didn’t participate in the aimless agitation right outside my home…But at least I figured out writing something might help me ease out the guilt in my heart that they are robbing my mother and I ain’t doing anything….
Please do something…anything and everything which you can to stop this beginning of an end…
