The main thing is when, why and how. Is Congress started it just before yatra to begin (May 2008) for vote-bank politics in coming election. PDP was not in good relation after transfer of power. It got reason to plug-out. It may has eye on election. New equation or alliance may come. Was Azad right for the post? Nothing is heard from Dr. Karan Singh.
Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia , as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks.
Separately, Howard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying he supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'IMMIGRANTS, NOT AUSTRALIANS, MUST ADAPT. Take It Or Leave It. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Bali , we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Australians.'
'This culture has been developed over two centuries of struggles, trials and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom'
'We speak mainly ENGLISH, not Spanish, Lebanese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society . Learn the language!'
'Most Australians believe in God. This is not some Christian, right wing, political push, but a fact, because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools.. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is par

listen u ?. people are killed in kashmir becoz they are antinationals. because they want every thing from needle to aeroplane from India,enjoy every economic pakage,luxry of freedom to abuse our country ,luxry of freedom to call us father of nation as a militant,luxry of enjoying more pay scale as in comparison to people from jammu,luxry of discriminating the jammu people from their rights,luxry of being the most courrpt people of india,luxry of killing thousands of kashmiri pandits,luxry of forcing around 3 lakh kashmiri pandits to live in exile,and above and all luxry of calling them selves secular people. they also have the luxry of having the full support of national media (times now.NDTV who seem to be the inlaws of Pranav Gowsami,Barkha Dutt.). Where as at Jammu people chant bum Bum Boole,Jai mata De, Bharat Mata Ki Jai,indian Army Zindabad this is the difference between jammu and kashmir. At jammu people die for being patroit At Srinagar people die for not being patroit. in india how does it sound like if army kills the people who chant Bharat Mata Ki Jai,where same army lay their life for the same slogan.
As ur self if ur slef first of all if ur an indian enought and then man enough.

For your believed God sack, please act as per your name "love guru" in this posting... I see the same posting everywhere from you in this matter... If nothing was done to Muslims then you would not have asked this question today... You have all answers but still asking... Introspect yourself to find answers... Think always about common man irrespective of any religion/cast. Also think that, with all this, no harm has happened to all these group leaders, terrorists groups, and politicians, BUT for common man who are innocents and who could be your brother/sister or parents or relative… so we should not at all allow these kind of extreme thoughts… Highest purpose/meaning of any religion is to love your next person irrespective of cast/color/religion or handicapped…

1) When you vote, you vote for the country. not for your cast or religion 2) What congres and other kashmiri parties have done to the pundits? 3) The reason only muslims are killed in Kashmir is because there are only muslims there. Terrorists have either killed or diven away all the hindus out of kashmir. Hope that answers your question.

If so then cleanse the Kashmir valley of the infiltrators. We in the other parts of the country will never waste our hard earned income as taxes to pay the Indian security forces so as to humour a few kashmiris. Many states in India have had Hindu Muslim conflicts. They have all solved it by fighting against it by themselves. Only Kashmiri Pandits are begging other Indians to help them in their fight. Well, we will not. When EVR Naidu in Tamil Nadu started a campaign to kill Tamil Brahmins, we didnt beg the Kashmiris to help us. Defend yourself if you have the guts or perish!!!

10,000 forest trees are chopped down to build the Mughal road in Kashmir. No one makes a noise. Acres of land in the Kashmir valley are given to install mobile phone towers. No one screams.

Politically correct politicians, policy-makers and administrators might try to tell you that it is not about religion, but the fact of the matter is that it is all about religion.

RE:Appeasement of Minority is bad
by Avi Priten on Aug 10, 2008 12:15 PM Permalink
Let us take a hard look at the arguments presented by the locals who opposed the transfer of land:
1. The allotment would have adversely affected the environment around the area. One wonders where these tree-hugging environmentalists were when the same government allowed the felling of 10,000 forest trees to build the 89 km-long Mughal road.
40 hectares of land that was going to be used to provide temporary shelters and night-time facilities to pilgrims was in fact going to help in proper maintenance of the current day waste that actually pollutes the environment. But who can argue with senseless politicians who instigate people to come out on the streets?
2. The allotment is the government's ploy to settle Hindus from outside the state to change the demographics of the valley. Look, who is talking! One has to only go back 18 years in the history and check who changed the demographics of the valley.
Islamic terrorists changed the demographics of the valley by ethnically cleansing Kashmiri Hindus from the valley. I wonder where these we-do-not-want-to-change-demographics-folks were when Kashmiri Hindus were slaughtered and the valley's demographics were altered.
One would like to ask a few questions: a. Is 40 hectares of land enough to settle so many Hindus that it would change the demographics of the valley?
b. By putting this argument of demographic change, are the valley's Muslims implying that Hindus are not welcome in the valley anymore? And I do not mea

Having touched upon the outlandish arguments of those who oppose the allotment of land, let us look at some facts and the real story:
It was during the first three years of the Mufti Mohammad Sayeed-Ghulam Nabi Azad coalition government that the original proposal of land transfer was initiated and cleared. It was under Mufti Sayeed's leadership that his forest minister Qazi Mohammad Afzal and law minister Muzzafar Hussain Baig originally cleared the proposal. It just so happened that due to red tape, the proposal was finally approved by the cabinet when Azad had taken over as chief minister during the second three-year part of the six-year term.
The same PDP led by Mufti Sayeed was originally okay with this proposal. But as soon as the PDP smelt that terrorist outfits like the Hizbul Mujahideen were not in favour of the allotment of land and realised that it could become a polarising issue to whip up sentiments to garner votes in the upcoming assembly election, it backtracked.
Since it is an election year, the National Conference and other smaller political parties would not let the PDP cash in on this opportunity alone. They jumped into the fray and whipped up sentiments by fooling the local Kashmiri Muslims. And that leaves the Congress. How could the Congress not try to cash in on this polarising issue in an election year?
Azad did not waste any time and revoked his cabinet's decision to appease the Kashmiri Muslim vote bank. He did not just stop there. In add

The cutting of trees and installation of towers adds to development work there in kashmir, Now u said over the creation of facilities for Yatries, which are wellcomed every where in kashmir. I don't understand what is need for it as such facilities are always and already provided to Yatries from last one and a half centuary and no one then proposes for land. The land transfer for providing facilities to Yatries on Papers is just the cause for gaining vote bank and nothing else. If you have gone to Shri Amarnath Yatra some time you must have realized the facilities provided by people living there and Government and if not then you should inquire with the persons who had pursued Yatra.... Also no one speeks when there occurs a lanslide and snowstorm in that area..It was only the kashmiri people who rescued the Yatries and provide them food , shelter, Blankets and not the Government and those people who claim for a piece of land now.....I think it is sufficient to make some one understand and washoff doubts in there minds ...

Jaan HI deni PADEGI, Jagah tumhare bapu ki hai kya???
Why is this 40 hectares land such a contentious issue? How many people can it accomodate to alter the demography of the valley?
Why are politicians of the valley trying to exhort people to react violently and then expect the other side (Hindus) not to respond by means of bandh or economic blockade?
India has been more magnanimous with its minorities than any other country in the world. So much so that, many persecuted communities from around the world could come here, make it their home.
We have had a violent history full of wars between various kingdoms, empires. Should this continue even in modern times? Is the Kashmir valley not able to produce one sane leader who can guide the people on the path of peaceful co-existence.
We have seen many Pandits forced out. None of the valley politicians did anything to stop those who threatened and killed many Hindus, and Sikhs. Now, when the Hindu patience has run out and the streets of Jammu are evidence of that, the same Kashmiri politicians talk of peace. They say those protests are by BAD Hindus. Come on! Have some sense and respect for your brethern. We too have same feelings and pride. It was shocking to see Omer Abdullah say 'Jaan denge lekin jagah nahin denge'. We want to be brothers. But if the others do not reciprocate, then, the only way it can be solved is by asking them to get out. India underwent a division on the basis of religion once. Our magnanimity should not be abused again.
