This one is a remarkable piece, tragic but real, written by Sh. Sadiq, narrating the awful plight, the agony of Kashmir in its truest perspective. The agony of Kashmir, pronounced by the undertaker Ata Muhammad is such that even he who is digging graves umpteen times and thus is supposed to be a non emotion man in such matters, yet the agony, the torment is such that he too starts weeping like a child as if all those are his own ones. The credit goes to Sheikh Sadiq to have rendered the plight of his fellow Kashmiris in such profound words.
And thanks a lot countercurrents team for sharing such an insightful, tragic but real picture of the Vale of Kashmir.

Thanx Anil Maheshwari, I definitely would read the book u have suggested. It should be, I believe a good read on the subject.

Without any further dilating on the subject, must say, the article suggests an approach which is next to impossible. The two, [and now they are three] countries are independent states. To undo what has already been done, is like living in a fool’s paradise. Moreover whether you may like it or, not its now a reality, something which was necessitated as a consequence of events that took shape in the years prior to 1947 partition.
Allama Mashriqi was indeed a freedom fighter but his brand of militant Islam was rejected by mainstream Muslims right in the forties when majority of Muslims followed Qaid-e-Azam Muhammad Al Jinnah, instead of that great Mathematician Allama Inayatullah Khan Mashriqi. Had his approach of militant Islam then worked, God knows how we in Pakistan would have come out of this vicious spiral of home grown so called Islamic militancy that is now hitting at the very fabric of the nation state of Pakistan.
