USELESS, DAMN USELESS SUPREME COMMANDER OF INDIA.
ONE PATRIOT DID NOT MINCE HIS WORDS WHEN HE CHALLENGED THE "RAT" IN RASHTRABHAWAN, NEW DELHI, IN THESE WORDS WHEN NEWS OF MURDER, RAPE AND KILLING OF INNOCENT HINDUS STARTED COMING IN 1989.
"MR. PRESIDENT, MOVE YOUR BUM AND BHAWAN TO SRINAGAR TO REASSURE THE HINDUS THERE THAT YOU CARE, AND STAY PUT THERE TILL THE LAST HINDU FEELS SAFE IN THE VALLEY."
NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA NEVER EVEN ISSUED A WARNING TO THE "FIRST COUSINS" OF BANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU WHO WERE ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH NORTH KASHMIR AND WERE NOW DOING ETHNIC CLEANSING OF THE HINDUS IN SOUTH KASHMIR, TOO.
-------------------------------------
The uprising in Jammu & kashmir is a very unfortunate phase in the history of India. Many innocent people lost their lives both Kashmiri Hindus as well as Muslims along with those who perpetrated the heinous atrocities.(the terrorists) from across the border. As the uprising is seen as caused purely by the Muslims in the valley mostly of the Sunny variety and their "Mehman Mujahids" from across the border, They have themselves paid more heavily in terms of loss of life as well as property. But the world at large is not sympathetic towards them as they are themselves responsble for their own misdeeds and misfortune.
On the other hand, the poor Hindus,and Sikhs of the valley have suffered both loss of life as well as property and their survivors became refugees in their own country for no fault of theirs. So the world has belatedly woken up and realized the extent of their misery and how silently they have suffered without any political voice to raise the issue of their hardship.. Apart from world sympathy and help,from the people of India, as the citizens of India, they deserve to get back all that they have lost. . It is the responsibility of the State of India that those who have been identified as the murderes of the kashmiri Pundits and are still alive, should not only brought to book, but the Kashmirin Pundits theselves should receive an apology from the Union of India as well as the nation as a whole with generous compensation being awarded.and fast.

Wonder if those who claim to be human rights activists will take up this issue. Perhaps it does not fall in their agenda of secularism in India.
