The past few weeks have passed in a lot of communal attacks on Kashmiri muslims in different parts of India, and in the hindu majority Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Jummuites have resorted to blocking the national highway, the only road link connecting Kashmir with India and this is the only means of trade and also of many critical supplies coming into Kashmir. The threat comes as a way of the US style of imposing sanctions on states that don't go "my way".
It is surprising to see that seemingly civil population of Jammu has been able to block a national highway and the authorities haven't been able to do anything about it. Its even more disturbing because I had once witnessed some college students in Kashmir blocking a road in protest of something, and it hadn't taken the police more than a minute to end the blockade. Even the most peaceful protest march in Kashmir has always been most harshly dealt with, often police resorting to cane charging, use of tear gas canisters and on many occasions resorting to opening lethal fire on the protestors. I am by no means suggesting that the same should have been done in Jammu but my mind begins to wonder how can the administration have two different yardsticks to deal with two issues of the same kind.
It is worthy of mention here that never has any protest in Kashmir in the past 20 years of its history of struggle for freedom been communal, but the fire of this hatred is being spread by the saffron war mongers in India, who gave their country many a black spots like Gujarat, Babri Masjid and many others to remember as a part of their secular history.
I had only heard this in stories before but the communal terrorists of India are open this time with their agenda..."bharat mai rehna hai tow ram ram kehna hai"...still wonder how secular this country actually is.
