| Kashmir speaks loud and Clear: No more terrorism, No more Pakistan Propaganda | | |
By Farooq Ganderbali
The people of Jammu & Kashmir have once again spoken with a united voice: terrorism has no place in our land, and Pakistan’s decades-old agenda of bloodshed and division stands utterly rejected.
For years, Pakistan has tried to infiltrate the minds of Kashmiri youth through fake Islamic propaganda, luring them into a cycle of violence and radicalisation. But today, the people of Kashmir are sending a firm message — stop sending terrorists, stop destroying our future.
Under the false banner of religion, Pakistan has devastated the culture, unity, economy, and identity of Kashmir. It has turned the Valley, once known for its peace and beauty, into a ba... |

But in Jammu & Kashmir, this occasion demands more than commemoration—it demands introspection, reform, and urgent action.

The recent brutal attack on innocent tourists in Pahalgam marks a turning point in the collective conscience of Jammu and Kashmir.

The past 35 years’ Pakistan-sponsored terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir has experienced a series of horrifying terrorist attacks—targeting every section of the population including Kashmiri Pandits, local Muslims, journalists, civil servants, JKP personnel, security forces, political figures, and pilgrims.

Fatima Baloch and Dr K N Pandita
Pakistan was established in 1947 through the partition of India by the British, rather than through a prolonged independence struggle marked by significant sacrifices against colonial rule. As a result, the country initially mishandled Balochistan, forcefully occupying it against the will of the Baloch people on March 27, 1948. Furthermore, Pakistan has struggled to function as a cohesive nation, comprising diverse ethnic groups such as Bengalis, Punjabis, Pashtuns and others.
The artificial nature of its creation by British and global influences has led to a history of military dominance and weak democratic leadership, culminating in the... |

K N Pandita
The forced displacement of the Pandit minority in Kashmir in 1989-90, is in the sequence of atrocities perpetrated against the Hindu minority ever since the advent of the Islamic faith and its propagators in Kashmir in the third decade of the 14th century.
Islamic faith enjoins its followers to practise Allah's command of destroying atheism, polytheism, idolatry or grave worship. The Hindus of Kashmir followed their age-old philosophy of polytheism and practised idolatry. They are stuck to mythology and traditions inherited over time.
To the Muslim, the antiquity is reprehensible. Allama Iqbal, one among those who conceptualized a separate country for the Musl... |
