Valley is often termed as one of the beautiful places on earth, surrounded by awesome mountains, snow caped mountains and trees, in winter and beautiful flowers in the summer. Anyone who hears the name of valley automatically placent thoughts come into their minds. Depicting it’s beauty in their minds. Tourism has been worst affected, before coming to valley tourist think now twice, because of insecurity and turmoil. All tourists have left, giving valley a deserted look.
But our parterre valley has lost its vigour, passable for those who are parting shots. Paucity of valley that has turned into paymaster. Lost in its own surroundings of beauty. Media is engulfed in payola, to hide the real current position of the Valley that is facing it’s worst pellucid pendulous, agony and pain of its kind. Valley of Saints is undergoing penance of its wrong doings and is penitent of the wrong decisions of the past, that now present generation is suffering and being killed due to genocide. The penurious decisions of the leaders taken in the past have put all the present generation in danger and insecurity. Their pent-ups betrayed the people of Kashmir from 1947, they are gone buried underground and left Kashmiri to face the turmoil forever. Pep talks from government cannot resolve the issue, people now can perceive their fate and are not fools to be befooled.
Perennial hoodwinks, statements cannot betray the people of Kashmir as they have become perceptive where to go and what to do.
The issue of Kashmir is perpetual until brought to table, that is what to figure out and pinned down. There is no other way, alternative or method, no need to freak out and gross out to put the youths in danger, we don’t want to loose youths and let them to die leaving blood and sorrow nowhere.
This resistance has been plugholed as no positive response is shown by government of state and India. No wild delusion and loose holes of juncture, due to which we shall loose everything even that, that is in our hands.
Strategy is lacking from both ends, people are out to die very cheaply, blood of youths is splitted on roads, that is poignant on part of all of us. Loosing a youth that too teenager is not easy thing to accept and that too his untimely death for his parents. We don’t want a battlefield and surely no one wants it.
To find a solution in days is not possible, to sit on table ones, does not give fetch immediate results, not in one sitting, it will take many sittings and parlays to sought out the problem. So initiative needs to be October, because transfer of capital begins from ending October, offices would be shifted to Jammu from Srinagar, just one dialogue if clicked with separatists and government would be a sunshine for the Kashmiris and that will really make a history in itself.
Pockmarks of this agitation cannot be forgotten, kashmiries have sacrified a lot, calenders have not upset the government, nor government seems worried about it, instead government has become more more persistent and adamant in crushing this agitation by tyranny, and by whatsoever means they can.
Poison pen letters, till now have fetched nothing but hatred. Constructive, positive and welcome step is imperative to deal with the situation. But who will bell the cat, and nobody wants to bell the cat. Uncleared war is almost taking the shape of declared war in Kashmir.
Polymaths are missing or are silent over the issue, pooh-pooh ideas are pot- shot like arrows missing the targets, posterity is deliberately put into danger.
Lot of parlays, discussions, dialogues, meetings have been done to dilute this issue but all in vain, both sides are fighting to postulate the things right. Both countries are potent to throw ball on each other, without catching it. Pragmatic and pragmatism approach is down and cold as ice, tall claims have been mixed with dust, notorious elements are not allowing the two parties to settle for rendezvous. How long the things will go like this, Will it come to an end, because Kashmir Valley this time is in the midst of the tempest, all pushing it, the way they like, now question is how the happiness and peace will come and settle the dust of unrest, in this hellhole valley. Otherwise, it will be soon be termed as frazzled and frivolous state.
