Exclusive: A Plan within a Plan - Indo-Israel Nexus and the Assassination of Maulana Shaukat Shah

Just 5 days ago, when Frontline Kashmir was told about an intelligence report that SOMETHING was going to happen in Jammu & Kashmir soon and Indo-Israel nexus had planned a multi-objective covert operation in Kashmir, i was wondering what this impotent RAW could come up with this time. The ultimate objective was to launch surgical strikes on suspected militant outfits in Azad Kashmir to engage Pakistan army over there. Entire operation was said to be funded by Israeli agencies because it was a part of an even greater plan which would have benefited Israel ultimately. Fleet was ready with an execution plan. Keep in mind the movement of chinese forces on the borders which i would relate to all these happenings later in this post. Pakistan's Agencies were aware and informed about this plan. This plan was discussed with the Ministry of State security (MSS) by Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) immediately. Chinese Forces, which are already in a strategic partnership with Pakistan Army, displayed a strategic move to counter this evil plan and beefed up its forces along the line of Control just to convey a message to Indo-Israel nexus that any move of aggression against Pakistan in Azad Kashmir would be countered jointly by Sino-Pak nexus. That was the reason why General Parnaik and Indian media started shouting on the move of Chinese forces along the Line of Control (LoC) because they knew they didn't have guts to face Pakistan and China Simultaneously. The crux of saying is that Chinese move on the border was not purposeless.

When there comes the game between the secret agencies, always expect not only one but a pipeline of alternate plans there in case the first plan is thwarted by opponent. What next was the assassination of Maulana shaukat Shah at Maisuma Srinagar on April 8, 2011 in an IED planted blast. That was a great loss for kashmiris as deceased was a learned scholar. He always preached for non-violent resistance. When entire valley was mourning over the death, i had something else in my mind. I was wondering why could he be the target of someone? Who could be behind his assassination? But all of sudden, i got a clue for my queries from one facebook page post. After the martydom of Maulana Showkat Shah, SM Sahai IG Kashmir wrote on his page , "This is a such huge tragedy, personal loss for me." Then his next post was, "Prof Gani Bhat has already revealed who do these things to the moderate leaders seeking peace". This came just few hours after the assassination of Maulana. Without any investigation if the police head is giving a statement, it means it came out for some Purpose. What that purpose was? What did Ghani Bhat revealed? Whom IG Sahai tried to blame and why? On what basis? Don't forget that this saying is coming from a Police head whose statements are always based on investigations and facts and not just like the conspiracy theories and political statements coming up from politicians and political commentators. Plus if he (Maulana sahib) was so dear to him(Sahai) and he was a moderate leader seeking peace, then why did Indian authorities put him behind the bars under the draconian PSA for 6 months in 2008. We are being told that PSA means Public Safety Act meant for those who are enemies of peace. Sheer hypocricy here.If thry knew that his life was in danger, then why such a lax security for him?.

Now everything was clear to me. He was trying to Put blame on a "Pro-Freedom leader" who enjoys the support of almost 80% Pro-freedom Kashmiris. It was a move for his character assassination but let me tell you it was just the one half of the Plan-B of RAW. By Putting blame on stated leader, plan was to divide Kashmiris on political and sectarian basis. The reason why Maulana shaukat was chosen for this operation was that he had a difference of opinion with that "pro-freedom leader" about the stone-pelting and even he issued a Fatwa against it. So by Picking up Maulana shah for it, it was easier for them to make people believe that Pro-freedom camp was behind  this incident which was advocation stone-pelting. I was observing each and every news report of Indian and Pro-Indian kashmiri media very closely as i was sure something important would come up which would tell the direction of future happenings. Eventually i came across a news report "LeT wants Srinagar blast blame on Hindutva outfits" http://www.inewsone.com/2011/04/08/let-wants-srinagar-blast-blame-on-hindutva-outfits/42093  .  It further says "Intelligence agencies have intercepted a telephonic conversation of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) spokesperson in Pakistan asking a Kashmiri journalist to put the blame of Friday’s Srinagar blast that killed a top religious leader on Hindutva groups, including the Shiv Sena" 

 Now there plan was clear to me. When China foiled their Plan A, they tried to generate an excuse through this way to involve militants from across the border and then to carry out surgical strikes.

Now that was just an attempt to bow the seed for upcoming tree of propaganda. RAW is full of stupid and brainless lot i must say who do not even know how to replicate and re-implement the western tactics of covert operations and false flags. They made mistakes and they were Exposed. I was still waiting for more to come and suddenly i saw a post on GREATER KASHMIR which said "Hizb Militant caught with ammunation : Kashmir Police". Without wasting any time i posted that link on the Frontline Kashmir but Greater Kashmir removed that report with in no time. But i was able to locate the link for that report which is not working now  http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgreaterkashmir.com%2FShowStoryLatest.asp%3FNewsID%3D2094&h=54d94.No doubt Greater Kashmir was always a tool for Indian propaganda campaign but here it went a step ahead in serving its master. This report reminded me of few tactics Intelligence agencies use to adopt while carrying out such operations and the most common tactic is  "Group Penetration Insurgency Tact" .I Predict, with in next couple of days, the same guy will be brought in front of media acknowledging that he was involved in the assassination and he planned everything. He was getting directions from across the border and he was a part of some Xyz jihadi organization. If not him, some other guys will be ready to become such scapegoat. This is how the "False Flag attacks" are given direction to shape the future events.  I am sure that news report will be published again in next few days and blame will be put on Mujahideen and stated "Pro-freedom leader" In short this operation had two objectives. 1- to create a situation to launch surgical strikes on AJK .2- to divide kashmiris by involving most popular kashmiri leader in this incident.  

 Atlast, do not overlook the recent nonsensical statment by US officials which says " Separatists are involved in Human Rights Abuses in Kashmir" http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com%2Fworld%2Fus%2FSeparatists-terrorists-involved-in-human-rights-abuses-in-India-US%2Farticleshow%2F7918652.cms&h=d11b2.  It clearly shows how has India created a opinion internationally in support of its plan.

Join all these dots and you shall get answers of many of your queries.

Few more news reports in support of my Note :

 http://www.china-defense-mashup.com/indian-general-alert-chinese-troops-on-indo-pak-loc.html

US agencies confirm presence of Chinese troops along LoC in PoK Despite the strong Chinese denial, US agencies have confirmed to Indian authorities about the presence of Chinese troops all along the LoC in PoK.  ( Here comes the involvement of USA. USA was never concerned about Kashmir so much as it showed its concern in past 2 weeks. Why??)http://story.northkoreatimes.com/index.php/ct/9/cid/5e8a9e9456185a7e/id/44485517/

No Lullaby for Babies in Kashmir !

By : Lonesome Kashmiri

The Enchanted forest where the fairies live, The princess waiting for her prince to rescue her. The villains who take so many exotic shapes. The epic battles between truth and lies, Greatest sacrifices made with slightest of hesitations. The great love that the King and his queen shared. The colors that would blind the sun. The clouds which is softer than the cotton and you can fly on it to the end of the world. Stories of Sinbad, adventures of Ali Baba and princes from Persia doing the impossible. Friendly dragons and wonderful wizards battling the evil witches. Oh Child of Kashmir, I wish I could tell you the wonderful tales of fantasy. Tales that take us to a world where only truth is victorious. Tales where love is valued above all else. Tales where peace and tranquility is preserved at any cost. Oh how I wish I could you tell you the stories which shape the minds of young. I wish I could start the evening with the tale of valor and end it with tales of victory. I wish I could. The stories of the mighty tiger and dainty fawns of the forest would also not make much sense to you. For all you will see are the heavy boots of the soldiers and their evil guns pointed at you. Tales of Tarzan and the Jungle Book are just a fantasy which will have no meaning for you. Because all that you will ever see is Animals in green uniforms roaming the streets of Kashmir.

Alas sweet baby you were born in a troubled age and in a troubled land. Kashmir is not a place for fantasies any more. Children like you do not grow as children, you mature too young. Your ears hear the deafening sound of bombs exploding, so where will the roar of a prince reach you. You see your mother crying silently then how can you imagine land of the fairies. You have not seen your father ever since you were born so how would you know the love of a King and a queen. You open your eyes and close them again because there is nothing to see in the middle of teargas smoke. Dear baby I will not tell you the story of justice and truth because you will never see it in Kashmir, so it would not make much sense to you. You hear the wails and cries of people without a pause, so how can I tell you the tales of Happily ever after? Do you want to know the adventures of princes or would you like to learn the shouts of freedom. Would you like to know how dwarves mine gold or would you like to learn how to wipe tears of your mother.

Alas sweet baby, stories of Alladin on his magic carpet is not for you. Rescuing the caged princess is not for you. Neither are the endless rainbows and the dancing fairies. You will be forced to grow very soon. You will mature much before your time has come. You will need to stand up for yourself because no one else will. You will need to learn the ways of Khalid bin Walid and Saladin Ayubi. You will need to follow the steps of your father who set an example for you. You will need to learn to hide your tears and bruises. You will need to learn to face the atrocity head on, So tell me how will the stories of Giants and Unicorns help you. It breaks my heart to tell you that we don't have childhoods in Kashmir. We can't afford to shut our eyes against the misery surrounding us. Most of us have forgotten to laugh so how can I tell you the tales of the jester whose jokes would win the hearts of cruelest of Kings? The legends that shaped the earth are not for you. We live in reality and die in reality. I am truly sorry for failing to provide you a safe childhood.



No Lullaby For Our Babies

Forgotten Lessons from History and Kashmiri Intifada.

Throughout History, the lessons we have learnt all point towards eventual triumph of the oppressed nations who on shaking the ghosts of oppressors blossomed into wonderful and some of the most successful countries. But peace, tranquility and freedom come at a heavy price. Kashmiri have yet to pay that price and they need to be ready for it. If Fatigue consumes them and they lose hope, it is the end for the dream of independent and Free Kashmir. In Kashmir we are witnessing something that is unique in nature. It is a movement which defies the human psyche and feeds on sheer bursts of emotions. There are hardly any comparisons in history which can be related to Kashmir struggle. We could have related it to Palestinian Intifada but we Kashmiri's lack the flair and attention that is bestowed upon Palestinians. Similarities between our struggle and that of Palestinians are that they also pelt stones and so do we. And occasionally they sometimes use firearms which are limited to Hamas and in valley it is related to either Lashkare Toiba or Hizbul Mujahedeen. But that is where the similarity ends. Palestine at least has a territory which they control although it might not be pretty. In Kashmir there is no area which we can call our own territory. That is ironic considering that across the breadth of Kashmir people share the same vision and same goals. So why is it that we are not succeeding in our struggle? Why are not even able to control a small part of Kashmir which we can call our own? Where have we gone wrong? The issue with our current uprising is not about the direction it is taking, it is not even about ineffective leadership. It is more about the test of character and determination. The strength of character that we need to demonstrate has to be exemplary. We should not tire and should be ready for any sacrifice because no matter how much we sacrifice there is always a need for more. There is the eventual slackness that creeps into all the movements whether political or military, we should always remain cautious against any such symptoms and revitalize the freedom struggle by being as involved as we can. Now the question before us is that are we ready for not just preparing ourselves but also the ones who are yet to feel the pinch? Can we stem the desperation that is creeping in? Can we stop the flow of rebellion against the freedom movement? Can we gather the people who do not want to be part of the freedom movement under our banner? Revolutions are nourished with emotions, blood and sweat; do we have it in us? To escape the evil shadows of India we need to be determined, dedicated and devoted. There is no room for slackness or carelessness. There is no room for cowardice and deception. There is no room for excuses and phony explanations. This is time to do or die.

More than 16,000 Kashmiris Jailed under PSA in last 17 years

The Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir is holding hundreds of people each year without charge or trial in order to ‘keep them out of circulation’, a new Amnesty International report released today shows.

A ‘Lawless Law’: Detentions under the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act, documents how the Public Safety Act (PSA) is used to secure the long-term detention of individuals against whom there is insufficient evidence for a trial.

Estimates of the number detained under the PSA over the past two decades range from 8,000-20,000, with 322 reportedly held from January to September 2010 alone.
“The Jammu and Kashmir authorities are using PSA detentions as a revolving door to keep people they can’t or won’t convict through proper legal channels locked up and out of the way,” said Sam Zarifi, Amnesty International’s Asia-Pacific Director.

“Hundreds of people are being held each year on spurious grounds, with many exposed to higher risk of torture and other forms of ill-treatment.”

Detainees include political leaders and activists, suspected members or supporters of armed opposition groups, lawyers, journalists and protesters, including children. Often, they are initially picked up for ‘unofficial’ interrogation, during which time they have no access to a lawyer or their families.

Over the past decade there has been a marked decrease in the overall numbers of members of armed groups operating in Jammu and Kashmir. But in the last five years, there has been a resurgence of street protests.

“Despite this apparent shift in the nature of the unrest, Jammu and Kashmir authorities continue to rely on the PSA rather than attempting to charge and try those suspected of committing criminal acts,” said Sam Zarifi. “The PSA undermines the rule of law and reinforces deeply held perceptions that police and security forces are above the law.”

Amnesty International research shows how the implementation of the PSA is often arbitrary and abusive, with many of those being held having committed no recognizably criminal acts. The Indian Supreme Court has described administrative detention, including the PSA, as ‘lawless law’.

Those held under the PSA can face up to two years in detention. But the Jammu and Kashmir authorities consistently thwart High Court orders for the release of improperly detained individuals by issuing successive detention orders. Many detainees are thus trapped in a cycle of detention and remain, in the words of one high-ranking Jammu and Kashmir official, ‘out of circulation’.
The PSA provides immunity from prosecution for officials operating under it.
“Those being held have no access to legal representation and cannot challenge their detention in any meaningful way,” said Sam Zarifi. “Once released, they cannot seek any redress or compensation for the wrongful detention they have endured and virtually never receive justice for the torture and ill-treatment.”

Amnesty International acknowledges the right, indeed the duty, of Indian authorities to defend and protect their population from violence. However, this must be done while respecting the human rights of all concerned and abiding by international law.
“The use of administrative detention does not conform to international human rights legal obligations and agreements that the Indian government is a party to,” said Sam Zarifi. “The Indian government must ensure that Jammu and Kashmir authorities repeal the PSA and end the odious system of administration detention once and for all.”

Amnesty International is calling on the Government of Jammu and Kashmir to:• Repeal the PSA and end the system of administrative detention, releasing all detainees or charging those suspected of committing criminal acts with recognized offences and trying them fairly in a court of law
• End illegal detentions and introduce safeguards ensuring those detained are charged promptly, have access to relatives, legal council and medical examinations and are held in recognized detention facilities pending trial

Amnesty International is calling on the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and the Indian Government to:• Carry out an independent, impartial and comprehensive investigation into allegations of abuses against detainees and their families, including allegations of torture and other ill-treatment, denial of visits and medical care, making its findings public and holding those responsible to account.

Genocides in Kashmir: Bring Indian Criminals to Justice!

A Sovereign Kashmir: Random Thoughts-144

-Dr. Abdul Ruff



India, like its strategic terror partners like Israel is confident about escaping punishment for the crimes it committed willingly in occupied and highly terrorized Jammu Kashmir.

Kashmiris are towards achieving their sovereignty!

World supports Kashmiris in their just struggle for sovereignty from an arrogant nuclear India. The valiant people of Jammu Kashmir are engaged in a just struggle for the restoration of their inalienable rights. Not only Libya and Turkey have expressed solidarity with oppressed Kashmiris, but even Iran has also done so. The support expressed by the Supreme leader of Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah S Khamenei for the “just cause of the Kashmiri people” is of deep value and the solidarity and support for freedom struggle in JK expressed by the Iranian nation and the leadership. Pakistan appreciated “the solidarity and support” expressed by Iran for the “just cause of Kashmiri people. India must be asked to apply clear mind to consider freedom and independence for Kashmiris.

India also changes it terror tactics to invoke fake encounters to trap pro-freedom Kashmir patriotic soldiers serving Kashmiri cause of sovereignty as fighters.But an innocent looking India, in stead of resolving the regional crisis and granting sovereignty, deliberately plays all sorts of gimmicks to confuse the world. Now even US president is visibly confused. There isn’t any credible reason to believe that Indian gimmicks against Kashmiris, including terror ones are fading. Indian paid lobbyists and agents are at work almost 24 hours to make terror India look “innocent” enough".


India terrorizes Kashmiris in India plus Jammu Kashmir. That Kashmiris in Indo-JK jails are brutally ill-treated after trapping them in fake encounters and false gimmicks is no breaking news now. But plight of Kashmiris is becoming tougher with passing days. The Supreme Court of India by its September 1 and November 15 orders had asked the Centre to "clearly state as to how many of the educational institutions in the country are under the occupation of security forces/para military forces". Making sure the Indian terror forces occupying Jammu Kashmir almost on permanent basis do not occupy educational and related places in this formerly independent nation, Omar government must take note of the Dec 13 notification of the Apex Court expressing its displeasure that governments did not respond to its order on the "serious" issue of ensuring that all schools and hostels of educational institutions should be kept away from the occupation of security forces.

New Delhi and its embassies around the world are engaged in smear campaign against Kashmiris projecting them as terrorists and asking USA to include them in the “terror list”, though both India and USA are part of GST rogues list. Despite all such Indian gimmicks to make the world hate Kashmiris, more and more countries have expressed solidarity with the freedom struggle in JK.


This is indeed the paid foreign shame on India. World wide, India has employed the Indians settled abroad and its embassies over years have set up pro-India lobbyists and media nuts to promote India interests, including anti-Muslim, anti-Kashmir propaganda.
In view of the fact that Indian terror capability cannot match the stones the defenseless Kashmiris use to defend themselves from the perpetual terror onslaughts and genocides of occupying Indians, only USA and UK and other world powers must step in to end the escalation of Indian state terrorism in Jammu Kashmir. Had the Kashmiris got the military capability, the shameless Indian invaders would have been stumped out long ago. It is sad commentary on the notorious UNSC maintains silence in place of extra vigilance on Indian terror operations inside Jammu Kashmir, killing exclusively Muslims. India is trying to woo China on Kashmir issue, but Beijing must counsel New Delhi on the urgency for surrendering sovereignty to Kashmiris and when JK is freed from Indian hegemony, should come forward to assist them to build a strong nation to exist without fear of Indian terror attacks.

Over years of occupation of Jammu Kashmir, India has created secret graveyards in heavily militarized former valley Kashmir, while there is no trace of hundreds of innocent Kashmiris who officially disappeared from their homes. And, what a humanity tragedy! India has applied salt to Kashmiriyat wound by entering the notorious UNSC to further pursue its illegal goals. Instead of declaring India a terrorist state several countries have fallen victims to India manipulative techniques and chose it to enter the notorious UNSC on the basis of its terror-genocides records in neighboring Jammu Kashmir. Are these nations that support Indian state terrorism (IST) also terror states? Are these nations that were used by India under the Commonwealth Gimmicks in Delhi had been roped in by New Delhi to support Indian hidden agendas under pressure from terror twins USA-UK?



India’s advantage is that the GST leaders are now the obvious natural strategic partners ganged up against Islamic world. Pursuing suspicious national interests at the cost of neighboring nations, India manages nasty habit of bribing foreign leaders, agents, and lobbyists to get all illegal and immoral deals done. This explains why no politician is punished in India because crime, bribery and corruption are a part of democracy at the high levels On the contrary, when some big guys are exposed by the media the regime and judiciary come to their rescue and shortly the tainted people are seen well placed in the regime and politics. In fact, judiciary cannot interfere in the regime’s illegal or immoral activities indoors or abroad. Media are denied permission to pursue the issues and are offered some other new theme to focus on.

Bluff plus mischief has become a core portion of international diplomacy today. For India, a prominent terrocracy in Asia posing as a western brand democracy, telling lies has been a favorite profitable hobby. The blatant Indian lies, including the claims that occupied Jammu Kashmir has been a part of India and India is a terror victim, have been sold all anti-Islamic nations for favors. Since USA also claims to be terror victim of so-called ‘Islamic fundamentalism’ -because one Osama terror attacked poor American soft targets- it had to eat the Indian victim syndrome stuff also as part of an anti-Islamic strategy to be employed to control all energy resources and reduce Muslim populations.

India diplomatic arsenals are well knit and extra expansive with Indian and foreign agents working and lobbying for Indian causes and against besieged Kashmiris. India generously makes extra payment illegally, especially to foreign agents and lobbyists to get endorsement for its illegal and immoral ambitions and operations. In the ongoing cricket joint drama called World Cup Indian strategists have caught foreign agents to praise Indian team and endorse Indian win in the WC. Persons from Pakistan and Australia and elsewhere are very cheaply available for claiming "favorites" of India. Indian mindset is crueler than this example suggests. It is atrocious to watch on TV where an American/UK professor standing with a chock piece in his hand and a funny hat in his head, scribbling on the blackboard some arithmetic to show only India can win the matches.

And the notorious UNSC, controlled by USA-UK terror twins, watching the terror operations and genocides in Kashmir, just keep pretending everything is normal in Kashmir occupied by UNSC terror India and it pretends to believe, on payment basis, in all sorts of Indian lies. After all, UNSC also does exactly what its actual bosses USA and UK dictate to it.

It is not that the fanatic UN and notorious UNSC are unaware of the actual position on India occupied Jammu Kashmir issue but unfortunately, they have never imposed any sanctions or terror attack via noflyzone, as they have deliberately done in Iraq and Libya. Obvious reason is USA-UK terror twins that control the UNSC/NATO do not see any profit from imposing sanctions or noflyzone over India, because Kashmir, unlike Iraq or Libya, has not possess any energy resources to trade with Kashmiris as the price for freedom. Though a couple of Kashmiri leaders try to invite the western attention by saying that Kashmir has plenty of natural and mineral resources the western terrocracies are not at all impressed, and Britishers now the region better than the leaders of the countries in the region. Only the "civilized" west can fool the world, not otherwise.

All these years India has shamelessly spread a crude lie on Jammu Kashmir and its people. The historic lie of India is being repeated by US leaders like parrots or even Indian puppets - not just mere Indian lobbyists. The blatant India lie - now made an international lie, like Osama or WMD or shortage of democracy, is that Jammu Kashmir is an integral part of India.

Are the Indian terror operations as silencing gimmicks fading in the face of change of course of freedom struggle by the brave Kashmiris, now opting for peaceful movement? Especially when Indian intelligence and strategists have, somehow by hook or crook, managed some success in sports now?
Are the Indian regime and its puppet in JK objecting to peaceful movement?

Maybe! Or, not at all!

The continued Indian brute occupation of Jammu Kashmir has been made possible by a split freedom movement, a pro-India puppet regime managing the routine terror operations in JK on Indian behalf and western GST terror trends. The freedom groups have not realized as yet that none of them individually is too great to claim sovereignty from an arrogant India.



All Indians responsible for the crimes committed against Kashmiris and against humanity must be brought to justice. That too at the earliest!

India cannot escape punishment just because it has managed to enter the notorious UNSC by slaughtering thousands of innocent Kashmiris and by effectively fooling the Asian nations, including the shaky, Islamless Arabs.

Struggle Struggling To Be Acknowledged As A Struggle

By : Abu Moatism

Every now and then, we raise alarm, hue and cry that our demographics are either distorted, or tried to be distorted. Not only separatist camp, but even pro-Indian Kashmiri groups are very much serious about defending article-370 and thus its implications and the purpose. By all means, Kashmir is a Muslim region, its ethos, culture, traditions, values and psyche, whether in the form of echoing prayer calls from the minarets of Masajid, Ramadan festivities, Eid celebrations, Marriage ceremonies, burial processions, slogans or any other thing, Islam, our religion, does have a prominent and observable influence. What then happens to us, when somebody from among us, demands solution to Kashmir dispute on Islamic grounds? Why in this case, do we get confounded? Who, how and why has our psyche been modified to feel restless on this proposition? Why is this genuinely religious struggle, struggling to be acknowledged as a religious struggle.

In this regard, it will be our pleasure to share with you, our answers to a series of questions, asked to us in the capacity of the administrators of a face book forum “Kashmir – Integral Part of Global Islamic Khilafa state”.


Question: Kashmir is a pluralistic society and how can we ignore minority rights by imposing an Islamic solution? Do you, yet again want to kill and drive out minorities?

Admin Answer: Who said that Islam is hell bent to kill or drive out minorities? We Muslims cherish our ideals, which incorporate universal brotherhood, humanity, peace, love and mutual respect. Our religion is not devoid of such things, neither have we resigned to the allegations that pursuing an Islamic cause is preaching terrorism. If there is, or there was any atrocity committed, against Kashmiri pundits, it was not committed, by any religious organization, but by adherents of un-Islamic, secular and nationalistic ideologies. These perpetrators being Muslims do not provide any justification to blame Islam and doubt our sincere intentions to seek Islamic solution to our shared problems.

Question: We have UN resolutions and there is no mention of religion as far as solution to Kashmir dispute is concerned, why then should we seek anything on religious lines.
Admin Answer: UN resolutions came into being in the scenario of partition of Indian sub continent in 1947, which in turn was driven by religion. Then how is our struggle, not linked with the religion? Besides, when UN itself discriminates on the basis of religion, like in the case of Christian East Timor, where they played an active role, to get it liberated from Muslim Indonesia, then why should we abandon Islamic intercession in the matters of dispute and conflict?

Question: We should propagate and give more emphasis on Kashmiriyat than to religion. What is wrong, if we advocate our freedom struggle on the basis of kashmiriyat?

Admin Answer: If we adhere to kashmiriyat in principle, what about Ladakhiyat, Jammuiyat, Anantnagiyat, Soporiyat, Gilatiyat, Baltistaniyat, Srinagriyat and so many other local and regional sentiments. These sentiments are divisive in nature and have intrinsic flaw to bind people. Further loyalty to land is a western concept, and it not being divine, does not endorse any moral, ethical or religious constraints to commit atrocities, by people of one region against the people of other region. Kashmiriyat is Kashmir centric, it cannot be more than that and if it tries to widen its scope internally or externally, it will cease to be called as Kashmiriyat. Religion is universal and its message of love and peace incorporates even a distant non-state subject.

Question: We should be secular as far as seeking solution to Kashmir dispute is concerned, what wrong is there in secular solution, when secularism guaranties respect to all religions?
Admin Answer: This is a misconception that secularism means respecting all religions. Secularism actually disrespects all religions, nevertheless in equal proportion. It negates the concept of Ram Rajya, as well as the concept of Islamic system of governance, along with all the allied rules and regulations. It hates religion all together and advocates replacing divine systems with manmade, tailored doctrines. The fact is that, it is only religion that teaches to respect other religions.

Further, Islam’s dynamics allows for incorporating genuinely good things? We believe in taking care of our faith, which in itself means taking care of everything else, be it a good trait from democracy, socialism or even communism.

Question: Why cannot we seek solution on the basic of other religion than Islam?

Admin Answer: In Kashmir, Muslims are in majority and, is it rational to put into practice minority religion over majority. If it is, then why shouldn’t we attempt to have an Islamic system of governance in the entire India?

Question: What will be your stand, if India implements Hindu system of governance within its domain?
Admin Answer: Muslims never ever demanded that the church and the affairs of state should be segregated. Muslims never ever compelled India to embrace secularism. Muslims never ever compelled US or UK to enforce democratic set up. They either, themselves found discrepancies in their religious doctrines and abandoned them or else they wanted to get rid of moral code of conduct, based on divine principles. Personally, I believe, if Vedic rules and regulations are implemented in true spirit in India, Muslims inhabiting in there will be more safe and sound than now.

Question: Will UN and US acknowledge our religion based struggle? Will India concur to a solution based on Islam?
Admin Answer: India, UN and US already perceive and acknowledge us as Muslims and Muslims only, irrespective of the labels we try to put on. The good thing with them is that, they don’t discriminate among us, on the basis of our divide, be it sectarian, ethnic or jurisprudential. Further, post 9/11, it has become impossible even for secularists to bluff with them, by trying to wrap us in a secular cloak. Besides, disingenuous mudslinging against Muslims, genuine worry of rising extremism and subsequent bad-image has rendered this so called strategy obsolete. In either case, they won’t trust our secular credentials, even if we have some of them. Better present and promulgate our case honestly, openly, boldly and dexterously in the capacity of a Muslim. One must not forget that the hypocritical approach, at the outset is an unfair way of achieving any sacred objective. Besides trying to baffle them has a serious side-effect of baffling our own self, system and society.

Question: Religion will create trouble in seeking solution to Kashmir dispute?
Admin Answer: Can anybody prove it with reason and logic, that seeking freedom from India on secular grounds is easier than on religious grounds. So far, nobody has proved it to me. As a matter of fact, ground reality won’t change for India, for it, Azad-e-Kashmir is one and the same thing; pull-out from the occupied territory. If religious freedom for Kashmir has a potential to create religious hysteria in India, secular freedom too has a potential to incite regional sentiments like that of Tilangana sentiment, Marathi regionalism, sentiment of Dravidastan, Mangalorean regionalism, ULFA etc etc. However, for us, religious struggle, for its intrinsic potential to infuse sense of unity, religious fervor and consciousness among us, will be for sure advantageous and result oriented. Inshallah!
