Everyday I read about death and destruction. Death of humans, our environment and everything that we have always been proud of and the destruction of all that we earn.
It is really frustrating that you can't even walk out and say what you want in Kashmir? Open your mouth and a bullet will make a hole in it and shut you up for the rest of your life. We will cry hoarse, demand investigations. An enquiry will be ordered or may be not and after a few days it will be back to business. Life as usual.
Something has to change. The way we react or the way we act has to change. Call it the resilience or the helplessness (I am more inclined to call it the latter), a kashmiri has to move from protesting about one thing to another. Unless we protest about the protest itself I doubt anything is going to change. How can we put an end to all the injustices that keep happening in our kashmir?
I am unable to make sense of all that is going on. A snapshot of last 17 years is ridiculous. Bullets fired on unarmed people even when they are asking for a school, people cane charged when they ask for water supply or electricity which could help them keep warm in freezing winters, people catch cops burning their houses, people are stolen and never show up again, girls are sexually exploited by politicians. Are we going to continue talking about how ridiculous the situation is or are we actually going to take any real steps to bring in some positive change. All that is going on is unfair and unjust. How long will it continue? We are talking about humans here.
