What Jammu wants? An end to Kashmiri imperialism
by Lucky on Aug 07, 2008 08:09 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

People of Jammu are not against Kashmiris or Muslims or Kashmiriyat, but against the politics of imperialism practiced by Muftis, Abdullahs and the ilk. The land transfer just gave an opportunity to them to come out and express the pent up anger..

DOES JAMMU want only the land transferred to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) and if this happens, will the matter settle down? Apparantly, this does not seem to be the case.
The Amarnath land transfer is just a symptom of the malaise afflicting the bodypolitic of the state, with all the major stakeholders failing to satisfy the aspirations of Dogras, Kashmiris and Ladakhis, not to speak of the other ethnic and linguistic groups like Gujjars and Paharis.
Right now, what Jammu wants is end to the Kashmiri imperialism, which has been perfected and practiced by the Kashmiri leadership foisted upon the state by union of India.
People of Jammu want an end to the domination of Kashmiris in every sphere of their life. Be it politics, economy, society and culture, the writ of the Kashmir runs in the state and the centre.
The land transfer just gave an opportunity to the people of Jammu to come out and express the pent up anger. However, the people of Jammu are not communal and majority of the people value secularism to the utmost level.

Myself a Kashimir muslim by birth ,born and brought up in Jammu.I must say that all political parties..Cong , NC and PDP are trying to communalise the issue.They are creating trouble in the Valley to appease ppl who are pro pakistani.On the other hand they are accusing Samiti as communal.The movement in Jammu is nothing to do with Amamrnath.We the ppl of Jammu are fed up with the Srinagar based politicains.We want a seperate state of Jammu.this is the genral public feeling in Jammu and this Amarnath row has given us an opportunity to raise our voice and fight for our right of self deter mintaion.Jai Jammu . Jai Hindu.Pakistan Murdabad

After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83% Egypt -- Muslim 90% Gaza
- Muslim 98.7% Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98% Iraq -- Muslim 97% Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7% Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99% Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90% Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' --
the Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be
peace because everybody is a Muslim:

Afghanistan -- Muslim 100% Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100% Somalia -- Muslim
100% Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%

Of course, that's not the case.

Muslims then start killing each other for a variety of reasons.
'Before I was nine I had learned the basi canon of Arab life.

It was me against my brother; me and my brother against our father; my family against my cousins and the clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against the world and all of us against the infidel.
-- Leon Uris, 'The Haj'

It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such as France, the Muslim populations are centered around ghettos based on their ethnicity.. Muslims do not integrate into the community at large.
Therefore, they exercise more power than their national average would indicate.

Adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book:
"Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.". (??)
