Kashmir is burning once more and the government is clueless, once more. The beautiful sounds and music in the valley has been muted by the sound of boots,guns, and bullets. The silence of curfew has blanketed the Kashmir's ethnic beauty. We can only imagine what Kashmiries might be experiencing right now. The curfew also has effected the pilgrimage of Amarnath. Thousands of travelers have been trapped because of the danger of stone pelting. The media in Delhi might be in two minds whether to raise the issue of Kashmir or not but there are some patriots who have taken up the job to bring down the fires in Kashmir. These people are disappointed not by the Kashmirs but with the Kashmir special status itself. It is a well Known fact that after independence of India, Kashmir was given special status because of the nearsightedness of the then politicians. The future of Kashmir and Kashmirs was not given priority. The existence of the people of Kashmir and Kashmir has been left in the hands of Extremists and separatists.
Pakistan was on a bumpy-ride when hijbul's commander Burhan Wani was killed in a conflict. Burhan Wani's death ceremony was conducted in every part of Kashmir. In Pakistan occupied Kashmir this event was carried out on a ceremonial scale. Independent Kashmir slogans echoed in every mountain in the valley. During partition when the entire country was burning Kashmir was at peace. Even Mahatma Gandhi praised Kashmiries for there brotherhood and bondage. But after that things changed a lot and peace never existed in the valley. Article 370 played a crucial role in taking Kashmir to its worst state. Shocking is the fact that nobody ever tried hard to abolish the article. Kashmir's problem has always been viewed from the air-conditioned rooms of Islamabad and Delhi, but never from the eye of a Kashmir person.It has always been tried to bring Kashmir under control using guns and bullets. However the problem still exists.
Today Kashmir has become that part of geography which is of significance to India, Pakistan, and China. Separatists demand an Independent Kashmir but Pakistan thinks other-wise and is desperate to get control over it. They want the Violence to exist in Kashmir so that they can instigate ideas of separatism in the people of the valley.
Kashmir has reached the peak of ignorance and the fire of separatism has been burning it for the past 3 decades. Some people have been warming their hands in this fire while others watch the show. We have to understand the issue of Kashmir cannot be solved by overwhelming speeches or political Vendettas. We expect politicians to take a bold step for the betterment of Kashmir and India as a whole.
