William Wakefield a medical officer in the service of Her Majesty the Queen of England visited Kashmir Valley in summer of 1875. He examined the manners and customs of the inhabitants very closely and came out with exceedingly candid but harsh commentary.
Out of all other observations about Kashmir, he writes in his book “The Happy Valley: Sketches of Kashmir and the Kashmiris” published in June 1879, “And Kashmir is a theme well worthy of a poet. Nowhere in Asia, nor even perhaps in the remaining quarters of the globe, can the parallel be found ... |

Kashmiris should not give a chance to rogue elements in the Indian security agencies to justify false implication of scores of innocent Kashmiri youth in cases of terrorism
It has been a common sight in Kashmir Valley since the ’90s: thousands of people accompanying the body of a terrorist killed in an encounter with security forces.

| | Legal view: Sedition law is draconian, a weapon in the hands of state | | |
By Dr. Mrinal Satish
Legally speaking, cheering for a Pakistani Cricket team or some other team is not sedition. If the information I got is correct, these students from Kashmir studying at a Meerut University did not do anything to topple the Indian government nor did they do something against the integrity of the country. The concerned university or the college has the right to deal with such cases. Even the decision of the university or the college can also be challenged in a court.
Our Sedition law is archaic and draconian. It was introduced by the British to keep leaders like Mahatma Gandhi in jail. Mahatma Gandhi wanted the Independent India to abolish the Sedition law... |

| | Apology cannot be absolution | | |
By Rahul Pandita
There is no concept of absolution in the modern criminal justice system
In 1997, Queen Elizabeth paid a visit to Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar, where, in 1919, a British army officer ordered his troops to fire at a crowd of unarmed Indians, leading to over a thousand deaths. Terming it as a “difficult episode,” the Queen said that “history cannot be rewritten.” It was the closest the British had come to an apology — until February last year, when the British Prime Minister David Cameron visited Jallianwala Bagh and called the massacre a “deeply shameful event in British history.”
Mr. Cameron was more contrite than Queen Elizabeth. But it still could no... |
