Legitimate Cause or Nations Blunder

I started writing this post with a thought but no words in my mind. I want to write a lot but to start from where is a big pain. Believe me.

First I thought what to write, what is important. Off course being a Kashmiri first thought comes in the mind is about Kashmir. I always have bitter feelings in my mind regarding the situation in the valley. There are many unanswered questions which dominate my thoughts whenever I start thinking about the cause. Why world is not caring about the Kashmir and act like duff, why can’t leaders listen the plight of kashmiris? Leave about the world why can’t Indian leaders come forward with good intentions. Off course one important question also comes in the mind that, is it legitimate to ask for freedom from India and are people right by asking freedom, are we in right direction in our cause and if we are not in right track is there anything we can do so that world can reach us and we can reach them. Is there anything we can do better so that Indian leaders and civil society will realize?
First and most important question is why can’t we live with India. I tried my best to convenience myself at several occasions that India is best for us in fact myself as a computer engineer have far better future in India that any part of world besides experiencing many hard times in India as being a kashmiri. Recent one was when immigration guy at airport asked so many questions to me when my colleague from other part of India was given passage with respect and wishes. These are the small things which hurt a lot but I can’t blame whole Indian nation for a small mistake done by one citizen. I don’t blame Indians because what I believe is that they lack the factual information, which has been kept behind the carpet since the occupation by Indian leaders and media. It is very unfortunate that there is so much to tell to the world about the plight of Kashmiri people and no one is caring about. Problem is not if you don't know but the problem is if you had been feeding with wrong facts. Kashmiri do not hate Indian but at the same time they want the freedom from all occupied forces from all the regions including Pakistan side of Kashmir. I believe Indian media has done major damage when it comes to Kashmiri cause.
Answer for my first question comes from the fact that when the nation is betrayed by false promise then it is very hard to gain the confidence of the people. When your base itself is wrong you can’t make a building to stand for long. Same is the case with Kashmir. India promises something in 1947 which Kashmiri are still waiting for so whatever Indian govt tries it is difficult to make them understand that India is for Kashmiri. What I experienced being a kashmiri is that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of kashmiris that India can’t be ours and we can’t be Indians. For this we can’t blame Kashmiri, India is also responsible by time by time. Proof for that is that India slowly and slowly scraped RPC (CuConstitution of Kashmir) which was the backbone of Kashmiri politics.
So if the cause is legitimate then second question is, are people taking the cause on right direction. Simple answer is that when people from Kashmir can make the cause alive from last 62 years with same passion as our grand fathers were having then it should be the right direction. Only misery is that in our 62 years of struggle we have experienced 10 odd years of violence and unfortunately those 10 years have dominated other 52 years in the minds of all Indians and even unfortunately to people around the world though people from Kashmir are most peace loving people. Proof is that out of 62 years only 10 years of violence have been experiences in kashmir though whole nation has different thoughts regarding their rulers in all the times since 1947. So from my point of view you can’t see Kashmir in the context of 10 bad years. You have to look from the start till current date.
Simple answer for my question why world is not standing by kashmir is that every country in the world wants some part out of growing Indian Economy since India is growing in every sense so economics is what most of the countries in the world will be interested with. You can’t expect Obama giving priority for Kashmir than his own sinking economy. Only country in the world was Pakistan who himself in the re habitation state. They have already started showing Kashmir in Indian map. So we can’t expect any kind of sympathy from that nation.
The future for the cause which is a big worry in the minds of every peace loving Kashmiri is that the cause has to be taken to logical level without much damage done to the society in terms of education, health care, economy etc. Our leaders must have to think out of box and have to give the new directions without depending much on other powers in the world. Also we should forget the UN help in the cause which is an obsolete organization when it comes to solve any issue which of Muslim interest. Kashmiri cause is beyond the individuals. It is not in the interest of one person it is for whole nation.
I hope something comes best for the people of kashmir and also to Indian nation.
Thanks for your time. Feel free to comment.
