Our Kurukshetra is approaching fast
For many of us, the government’s craven capitulation on the Amarnath issue was less of a surprise and more of a denouement of something we had feared all along…i.e. our political leadership can no longer be trusted to look after India’s national interest.
Parama Karuna-ji summed it up neatly in one of her posts on a Yahoo! group:
I understand your point…I (we) have been trying my (our) best to be as diplomatic as possible, for many years. My point is that I think we don’t have much time left now.
Our task today is not to convince lukewarm people – not any more.
Our task now is to sort people out for two camps – the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Our Kuruksetra is approaching fast. When the conch shells start blowing on the battlefield, it means the time for diplomacy is over.As Winston Churchill said on November 12, 1936: Â The Era of Procrastination, of Half-Measures, of Soothing and Baffling Expedients, of Delays, is coming to its close. In its place, we are entering a Period of Consequences.
Kashmir looks like it may be slipping away from the Union…but if we do nothing, Kashmir is just the beginning…
Think of Assam and West Bengal…Think of Ladakh…Think of Nagaland…and Arunachal…Today, a spineless, power hungry leadership has the potential to undo all that our freedom fighters fought for…and to extinguish all the values we cherish…If we stay mute, we will be silent accomplices to this act of destruction…
Let us remember the sacrifices that were made to attain what we have today…and the enormous price we payto maintain our freedom and dignity…All of this must not go in vain.
The time to do “something” is now…it is here…I recall what I wrote a few years ago: “Touch someone, somewhere please try and make a difference. This is the time when inaction is not an option and indifference will be suicidal.”

No land for the Yatris – Government capitulates
Dear Sir,
If you want to touch someone, please do it for every election, local or otherwise. Go touch your neighbour on his shoulder and ask him to shoulder the responsibility as a citizen.
Touch somene so that it makes a chain and we end up touching our lives in the end.

Dear Hindu Bandhu Namaskar,
The issue of “Land for Amarnath Yatra’s Yatris” has been used by Muslim separatist forces as a referendum for a separate Kashmir. All the Kashmiri Political parties in turn who represent the people of Kashmir have made a statement that they are on the verge of attaining their own Country or they have one. PDP, NC, Congress and ISI have been smart but the smartest is Omar Abdullah, who has used the words Kashmir and Jummu for Muslims and Hindus. That has a lot of significance.
If land is allotted, it will hurt the Kashmiri pride and Kashmiriat! Where is Omar from? From an English Nurse! Where did the Kashmiriat go then? Most of the Hurriayat leaders have American or European wifes interestingly!
Is Land to Amarnathji a big deal? Oh! Yeah, its a big deal. So, says most Kashmiri leaders.
Commies have no reaction. Regional Parties are non committal and are worried about their votes . People who made it a huge cry on Raj Thackeray are silent on this very important issue.
BJP is making feeble noises, VHP and all the peace time torch bearers are silent. Whatever protests one has seen in Jammu, by the Hindus are spontaneous, its all local leadership. It is sad that Hindu movement has become leadership less and has no Central command.
Can you beat it, we are funding all those Kashmiri leaders to bash us(Hindus) at will? Their tourism money is from Hindu pockets? Where does all the money from Amarnath Yatra go?
On an average, Rs 45,000 INR is doled out to each family in Kashmiri Muslim from the Center. Now, what do the Kashmiri Pundits gets???? Nothing, in fact they are looted, forced into prostitution, gang raped, left to beg , as one KP has put it, “Wish I was born as a dog”!! All that they got was tears, heart attacks and loads of humiliation. Why this indifference?? At the time of partition, all the Hindus mostly Punjabis were welcome , land grants, business grants, home grants etc were doled out!!( at that time, there was humanity, Nationalism ).
But for KP , there is nothing even after close to 20 years. They are simply put up in different places, marrying or live-in with every and sundry to make two ends meet!! Girls were kidnapped from Camps and were never seen again! Their sin, they are born Hindus and the Hindu leadership is spineless, Gutless and is too self centered around themselves and people of their own ilk.
Infact, almost all the KP’s born after 1989 have a problem in voting. Where will all the votes go?? Where will all the 450, 000 votes go?? Where will all the Kashmiri Hindu votes go??
All the Kashmiri Hindus got is NOTHING. Nothing from Congress, Nothing from BJP and now, their land is permanently taken away from them for free!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS IS HISTORY IN MAKING! I used to wonder how come everyone looted India, how come Babur’s men build a Mosque on our Ram lala’s Mandir? IT WAS LIKE THIS!!!
How come 15 % of Hindus in Pakistan and 30% in Bangladesh vanish, it is LIKE THIS!!!
How come Andhra Pradesh is rapidly becoming Christian? it is LIKE THIS! ALL OF US ARE WITNESSING HISTORY IN MAKING.
Don’t blame the people, its the leaders. We simply do not have leaders of caliber, who can impress the common Hindu to take up the issues. A leader who can win the trust of Hindus.
I smell similar circumstances as in 1857! Revolt from the Common man is imminent.
And, I will not be a mute or a mere spectator.
