The GUILT of Kashmir

THE GUILT OF KASHMIR


JUST IMAGINE.......!

Its 1130PM, a boy, a nationalist Indian boy, calls me and shares his guilt and confesses about something.

"Sir, Mere Nana is fighting for the freedom of Kashmir, and i am feeling highly guilty and embarassed that he is my Grandfather, what should i do?"

After a pause of 2-3 sec, till the time i could recollect what he said, i responded back, what you should do is that, you need to think and introspect, if you have the freedom to think that he is wrong, shouldn't he have the freedom of thinking what he feels is right.

Gar firdaus, ruhe zamin ast, hamin asto, hamin asto, hamin ast", which translates to "if there is ever a heaven on earth, its here, its here, its here". This is something quoted by a mughal emperor when he first saw kashmir. And we all need to think, what we turned it into. what is remaining, is it heaven? or is it just remains. The urge to think is on both sides, for & against.

I know, what i am going to write might have a lot of comments reflecting negatively on me. But should that stop me from sharing what i wish to. If i am bound by borders, at least my thought shall not.

This friend of mine a young boy of around 26 yrs shared the following new piece with me.

" http://m.greaterkashmir.com/news/kashmir/pandits-take-part-in-pulwama-freedom-rally/227891.html "

with "Pandits take part in Pulwama freedom rally"  as a HEADLINE.
(Am not sure whether its a headline or THE headline. Although Mr.reporter has laid a great emphasis on this. )

After going through the news article, this friend of mine tells me that the gentleman (kashmiri Pandit) is his loving GrandFather. So after my friend came across thsi news, he was feeling guilty; bad about it. Although, i couldnt understand the source of guilt.



I still am thinking, who was wrong, the feeling of that GUILT, or the gentleman protesting for his piece or may be Peace of land or the ones who wrote this news article just to emphasize the caste of a person who thinks about freedom, or me, who is unable to comprehend, why the value of life has been kept on a much lower podium than the life itself. I am unable to answer. thats why i said in the start.



JUST IMAGINE, as i am unable to....................!!!!!!!!

                                                       GANDHIJI`s TALISMAN I used to be a kid a long ago, why am i re-iterating it, anyways. I mean when i was small, i studied in a NCERT books. And all the books before anything else, had a familiar face, of M.K.Gandhi with his Talisman on it. Gandhiji`s Talisman.                                                                                          And no teacher ever, ever, ever read that page or even tried to explain it to us, and thanks to them for that. Otherwise i would have never read it out of curiosity and my keen ness to know the meaning of it, would ha...

Earthquake Vs Nimbu Mirchi

Earthquake or Nimbu Mirchi, which is stronger?.........Strange things happen sometimes, earthquakes might be scary for some,but, are not as strong as the strongest bonded couple of Nimbu Mirchi (Lemon Chilli). Yes, thats true. At least in our part of the world here in India. Although all the cultures have there superstitions, thus, on similar lines we do have our own. So here i am, with my own version of a fictional truth. Two contrasting days :- Quake quake to QUACK QUACK, Nimbu Mirchi wins 25th October,2015. I along with my friend were having gol gappas (what could be the english name for our loved, round gappas) anyways, while having these round gappas, my highly qualified friend saw a lemon and chilli tied up together with a black thread (Nimbu Mirchi, tantrik type Yantra). Seeing this he just stepped aside making sure that he doesnt even remotely steps over this Magical nimbu mirchi. He forgot the superb taste of gol gappas and started thinking about this nimbu mirchi. H...

ARJUN and KRISHNA

DEFINITION OF RENUNCIATION AND SACRIFICE Lord Krishna said: The sages define renunciation as abstaining from all work for personal profit. The wise define sacrifice as the sacrifice of, and the freedom from, the selfish attachment to the fruits of all work. (See also 5.01, 5.05, and 6.01) (18.02) Some philosophers say that all work is full of faults and should be given up, while others say that acts of sacrifice, charity, and austerity should not be abandoned. (18.03) O Arjuna, listen to My conclusion about sacrifice. Sacrifice is said to be of three types. (18.04) Acts of service, charity, and austerity should not be abandoned, but should be performed, because service, charity, and austerity are the purifiers of the wise. (18.05) Even these obligatory works should be performed without attachment to the fruits. This is My definite supreme advice, O Arjuna. (18.06) THREE TYPES OF SACRIFICE Giving up one's duty is not proper. The abandonment of ob...
