The incident that shook the whole world which happened in kashmir on 14-02-19 when almost 50 security personals of Indian army were killed in an IED blast at National highway pulwama, completely disturbed Indian political parties and common people of India. This is known to be one of the deadliest attack in kashmir history which people of India will never forget, this is not for the first time that such kind of attack happened but since last 70 years, now the question arises why these kind of incidents happen? Why do kashmiri people have to hear everyday that gunfight started at this place and the no of casualties is this? Means there is some issue that always lead to these kind of incidents,kashmiri people have taken up everything in their own hands and Kashmir can now also be called as “massacre kashmir” because there is not even a single day without killings. why there aren’t attacks and incidents of stone pelting in other states of India why only in kashmir we all know the answer very well because this is a disputed territory every Indian and Pakistani should ask why the problem has not been solved since past 3 decades. We also need to ponder which factors have forced youth to kill themselves to kill Indian soldiers.
Kashmir issues is the world’s first priority right now to get resolved but unfortunately both the countries neither India nor Pakistan is willing to do so, actually the scene is kashmir has become a political hub for both the countries to win elections, and in this dirty politics of leaders common people suffer civilians die jawaans die but who are they? They are common people.
It’s easy for us to come on Social media to condemn attacks but those who have to suffer the pain of loosing their loved ones know how hard it is only a mother knows the pain of losing her son only a son knows the pain of losing his father “life has come to a dead end in kashmir we are now nothing but a larg crowd of numb mourners going from house to house graveryard to graveyard each one of use waiting for our turn to die” rightly said by Dr Shah Faesal.
Youth of kashmir have suffered most in this cold war between India and Pakistan,from a school going boy to a PhD scholar everyone sacrificed their life for kashmir, 1000s of kashmiri people have been blinded by Indian security forces with pellets, not to forget 19 month old girl who even doesn’t knows how to speak the name “KASHMIR” or “AZADI” was also targeted with pellets what worst can be done than this, more than 10000+ innocents students are in jails many talented kashmiri youths in sports are not able to play at national level competition due to PSA, educational career of students is in danger, children’s are not able to go to school, tuitions continuously. They are not able to study in the right way due to unrest after every week or month, students studying outside kashmir are not able to move freely outside their hostels due to fear of getting beaten up by mobs, parents doesn’t allow their childrens to go in someother state of India for quality education due to fear of losing their child’s life, basic human rights are being snatched, no investigations against numerous rape cases done by Indian army , no investigations against the innocent killings in kashmir it looks like we are living a hell life here. No one wants violence everyone wants peace but for peace you have to win the hearts of the people, and that can only be done though discussions through dialogues not by firing bullets, pellets and brutality.
After the Pulwama incident now most of the indians want revenge from Pakistan and there are also many incidents of lynching in many parts of India, kashmiri students and businessmen’s are being thrashed by mobs in every corner of India right now kashmiri people residing outside kashmir are told by locals to go back to their homeland but it won’t heal the pain it will lead to more destructive condition internal war can happen.
Wars and surgical strikes are not the solution to end this bloodshed If India will kill 10 pak personals they will do 12 or vice versa but it won’t help people to ease their sufferings and Pain. Both the nation’s are nuclear power and incase war hysteria arises and war happens both the nation’s will have to pay huge amount of loss and for developing nation its not a good sign, For how long will they keep on fighting with each other and let people of kashmir suffer, now its the time to introspect what are the possibilities to overcome from this worst situation in kashmir.
If revenge was as solution then U.S.A would have solved Afghanistan and Iraq decades ago there is a need to find out what is making more and more youth to become militants now address the Social, political and economical environment in kashmir to save precious innocent lives.
Dialogue is the only way for both the nation’s to address this issue, in coming years if there are no talks between these nation’s, we will loose our generations and situation will become more worst , if Talibans and U.S.A can come on table to end the war of years why can’t India and Pakistan that was one nation before the partition, talking with each other doesn’t costs even a single penny but it needs courage and quality leadership. I urge all political parties to come together to find a permanent solution to the Kashmir issue and stop playing politics over dead.
Wakeup Indo-Pak governments we want Peaceful Resolution for this lasting dispute since decades. Surgical strikes and war is not solution only Humanity dies.
