Bravo! Shantanu.
Bravo for having brought to the fore the biggest and the most under reported episode of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

Ref : J&K @ House of Commons, Mar ’11
Thanks Shantanu for the Slides & teh voluntary effort to get the much reqd attention to the issue.
How much the successive govts have spent on NAREGA or other schemes lynching money to party coffers….
We can’t respect our own brethern in our own country. Couldn’t we provide atleast decent living; a one time act to provide them a proper shelter after decades…Shame on us. Decent Shelter / employment could have been the basic thing.
Hows Israel handling Settlements with international observers… Disgusting…

SB, Thank you for getting this into the public. I think we need to attach the first problem…the problem of getting these folks a decent place to live and have 2 meals a day. Why don’t we start a movement where we can donate whatever possible and start providing basic amenities to these folks? If there is anyone whoz already doing this, please let me know and I will be happy to donate whatever I can and I can try and mobilize some funds. Its a pity that we are guests in our own home.

Nothing is going to happen until Kashmiri Hindus take up arms, and they don’t have enough courage for that.
They can only talk, talk and talk.

Article 370 exists in the Constitution not because J&K is a Muslim-majority state(indeed J&K is a fascinating composite with Kashmir having a Muslim majority,Jammu a Hindu majority and Ladakh a Buddhist majority-to all of whom Article 370 applies equally).Article 370 exists because,even after so many years after its accession to the Indian Union, in uniquely exceptional circumstances ,close to one-third of the geographic area of the state continues to be under the illegal occupation of Pakistan.Moreover,the “temporary,transitional and special “nature of Article 370 can’t be terminated until the temporary and transitional aggression of Pakistan in J&K is overcome.Above all, article 370 is not a symbol of “minorityism” as the BJP pretends. Communalists often accuse that J&K has been singled out for “appeasement” a.k.a. Tushtikaran, which is an absolute lie.

*** COMMENT EDITED ***
Vandana…
Article 370 exists precisely because the state is Muslim majority which scumbags like you always try to hide.
Art. 371A has similar provisions for Nagaland, 371G for Mizoram, giving these states’ assemblies veto power against any acts of the central parliament affecting their customary law etc. The right to ownership of land is left to be decided by the state assembly and is hence indirectly restricted like in JK.
No surprise these states are Xtian majority.

Article 370 means as follows:
The part of your body is infected, however deadly it is, but cannot be treated; it need to heal by itself.

@Julian: I have edited your comment above – although I was tempted to delete it.
Please treat this is a warning.
I will not tolerate such language and personal abuse on the blog – especially that directed towards a lady.
I am sure you know there are many ways to make your point forcefully without resorting to such language.
