As a common man brought up in Kongamdara Pattan located in North Kashmir, India in a good academic atmosphere but have been witnessing the tragedies of Kashmir for the past three decades.
After completing my education for many years now as a professional, I am an educational consultant. The needs of my youth to give their respective careers a proper direction prompted me to become an education cum career consultant.
We had seen that a huge number of students were sent to different parts of Indian states as well as aboard too but needed proper career knowledge and awareness about intuitions. Through my dedication, I rose to form one of the prominent career consultancies, via which I first got a chance to become a chairman of JKCCA (Jammu Kashmir Career Councilors Association). For the past decade, I’m putting up in Srinagar with Elite and Classy life with lots of ups and downs to run smoothly my concern and make the future bright for Kashmiri students. With the grace of Almighty, I am running my life without any hesitation or disturbance by external means. I’m here without having any sort of Government or Private Scam or being bankrupt in crores running a successful career consultancy.
However, since my childhood, I am witnessing only terrible bloodshed, destruction, and suffering of Kashmiris. We during all this time have also seen too many old self stylish political parties who ruined Paradise on earth!KASHMIR! for their vested interests. The scores of so-called leaders who sold the blood of Kashmiri for their luxuries and Swiss bank accounts. They looted the Resources of Kashmiris along with erstwhile state administrations.
Now so-called paradise turned into a war zone and their dirty politics made common Kashmiris kill each other and degrade our dignity all over the world the name of Kashmiris turned into a heinous label of terrorist and the question that begs our attention is that who made them so? Who is responsible for it? To whom we will blame India, Pakistan, Kashmiris themselves, or other agencies?
Well some or few of us know the bitter crux of what’s going on and who is facing the real disaster which is going on for 3 decades. For the last two Years I as leader of the grass-root political party met with a huge number of Youths from different areas of Kashmir who I witnessed were manipulated for their own benefits by crooked politicians and unfortunately, no one was above the poverty line among them all from a poor section of society and they got the tag name of stone pelters and this became a new business for differents department of erstwhile state affairs including different agencies, our mainstream politicians and so-called separatists of Kashmir.
It’s a hard truth that no one is able to stop the killing of innocent Kashmiris. Youth are in large numbers getting involved in the DRUG menace and it was a rapid and ugly change in society like Kashmir. What has aided the growth of the DRUG mafia, how can they attract a large number of youngsters towards them how? Well, here again, it’s not one man who can ruins Kashmir alone again our state government bodies especially the previous state bodies that time again got a collaboration with the drug trafficker, coming from across the borders or from the states.
Drug abuse in Kashmir nearly is taking ugly heights and now some users have already left their parents numb. The vested interests especially political parties of our state have sold their ‘IMAN’ also known as faith for petty gains. They do not have fear of Allah. Well on another hand while any kind of person speaking in rallies or a majority of those who speak on TV or on live shows are the real actors fooling us with the Holy Name of Allah too.
Nothing is much saddest word ever to hear as is the exploitation in name of religion. HE WHO Doesn’t FEAR THE GOD and have no remorse to repent on their deeds what will be their ugly end we all know.
As I got to know it’s all about the game of money and in this game poor people are being killed. There are thousands of widows. As per present records, more than 40 thousand are orphan children. On records, there are lots of families that are waiting for their sons to come back to their homes even if they don’t know whether they are alive or dead.
Thousands of PSA [Public Safety Assessment] slapped youth belong below the poverty line and their fathers are not one among the white-collared, they are fruit seller’s on the streets, some of them are bus drivers, and some are ATMs guards. Just common poor and some middle-class people of Kashmiris are used!
Kindly Check over the past is there any bureaucrat or rich man who lost his son. We have never seen any bureaucrat or elite ones coming out to speak the truth because they are cowards and internally linked to these politicians who promote corruption and bloodshed by one the ways! Did our Islam teach us this?
Maybe I will be the next victim of this poisonous game because someone has to come out and speak the truth. I have made a choice to Live or Die but I will expose the traitors and killers of Kashmiriyat. My policies are to give relief to those who are suffering.
I took an Oath till my last breath, till the last drop of my blood to serve my paradise Kashmir for prosperous, peace, love, unity, freedom, free from injustice, all I’m nowhere is not begging for your votes, not giving false alarms that I will do this and that or play same like they used us. Maybe you will count me among them too, well no doubt if I were at your place I will think so!
But ‘AB NAHI TOH KAB, HUM NAHI TOH KOUN’.
Actually, I’m into this now because I will make this statement clearly clear so that I want people to get aware of these lines again ‘Agar Firdaus bar roo-e zameen ast, Hameen ast-o hameen ast-o hameen ast’. [If there is a heaven on earth, it’s here, it’s here.] Because a kind heart peace lover won’t bear it for this long it’s bursting me out now even my family is afraid and friends.”You cannot continue to victimize someone else just because you yourself were a victim once-there has to be a limit” But enough now Let’s come and put our hands together to make Kashmir regain its lost glory. These are not mere lines but it’s our pride of CROWN let’s wear it proudly now and say to the WORLD I’m Kashmiri! Take oath no more bleeding Kashmir; I will make it loud now what Kashmir was! It won’t be any more same now matters what I have to face low or high tide waves, I’m not afraid of anyone who so ever will come in between of this, I’m ready! There is nothing permanent except change so let us give me your support and your real Voice of heart to contribute to making a peaceful Kashmir.
And the main part is that no one wants normalcy in Kashmir even the section of Government Officers who are deputed in top posts, because they are corrupted too to the core.
With the name of Allah Almighty, let’s make it do and have first faith and believe on Allah than on me. Let us free Kashmir from the daily killing of the son of poor men. (END)
