Kashmir Crisis- Search for a novel solution

Kashmir is burning yet again and this is becoming a trend for the last three years. The cry for self rule and self determination has again propagated. Being a Kashmiri myself, it hurts when my homeland bleeds and probably that me search for some articles related to Kashmir on net, article that would give some figurative information about the damages we Indians are suffering from being a administrator of Kashmir and an article that would give some possible solution to the Kashmir crisis. The quest ends with an article by Bhaskar Sarkar on the portal merinews.com. I am posting the link to this article as it tunes with some of my sentiments as well.

Bhaskar has tried to encapsulate the thoughts in a very effective manner but two important points that need a lot of focus remain unanswered.

Point 1: The article doesnot answer anything about the status of Kashmiri Hindus- the Pandits. How to take the case of Kashmiri Pandits when Kashmiri Pandits were the real inhabitants of Kashmir. Although the article definitely refers to the plight of Kashmiri Pandits but nowhere in the solution has been mentioned about the place for Kashmiri Pandits. Yes Jammu will be an independent state with majority Hindus but what about the business that Hindus still own, the shrines that Hindus still revere and the land that Hindus still worship in Kashmir. History has it that Kashmir was rehabilitated by Rishi Kashyap and was supposed to be a Hindu KIngdom but doom stuck and Islam dominated in no time may be by forced conversions or by will.
Point 2: What will happen to the morale of our security forces if even a single inch of land is given as a result of the solution. How are we Indians going to pay obeisance to the millions of lives who sacrificed their life, their safety, their family, their comfort to safeguard Kashmir for the last 40 years. Wont this be a shame for us by giving up the fight. Wont this demoralise our nation and we would be labelled as having no strength at all. Wont this send a wrong signal to the world about our intergrity.
These two points remain a big showstopper and whenever any novel solution is devised the points need to be addressed first. The solution that Bhaskar has given may be extrpolated to something wherein we include a homeland for Kashmiri Hindus and probably give out Poonch in that place. Although this still fails to address the second point discussed above.

Lockdown diaries- The Covid Scare

Lockdown was implemented in the whole country to contain the spread of Covid 19. Our state or union territory is no different. But being the financial warrior, we had to be at the front fighting the deadly pandemic while serving our customer. We have also faced the brutality of this deadly pandemic with so many bankers losing life. Though every banker is cautiously treading through these difficult times, there were near miss incidents which every banker could have faced. Let me narrate an incident that happening during the lockdown which involved our own staff. It was Monday evening when I had just stepped into my room after day’s labour. I had just taken my evening bath when my phone started ringing. I was surprised to see a call from one of my lady colleagues because usually after the office time no calls take place. Within few minutes, another call came in and this time it was from my service manager. “Sir, Where are you?” He was quite subtle in his demeanour. With utter calmness,...

Respect her!!!

The time of Corona has brought in it the lockdown. Lockdown is the state of affairs when the whole world comes to stand still. Any change would carry with it the innate quality of inviting criticism both for and against it . Lockdown is no different. There may be people who are favouring lockdown while as there is a subset of our population which are against it too. My analysis is it happened for our good and we all need to bear this adventure. The best part of lockdown for me has been that the public broadcasting of the two mythological epics Ramayana and Mahabharata. Both these epics represent the ethos of Indian civilisation and how the Indian civilisation has evolved over the time. While the positives of the epics circulate through the veins and arteries of the nation, one aspect has been showing the ladies as sheer objectification. The epics have given a great moral to us    which invokes us to respect the women folk. These epics are really significant in the current d...
