    KASHMIRIYAT couv Janv 09:Layout 1 8/04/09 11:58 Page 1 Madanjeet Singh The two unique and memorable events that South Asia Foundation (SAF) organized in Srinagar to commemorate the Bhakti-Sufi-Rishi culture of Kashmiriyat, featured a jointly held India/Pakistan music concert Junoon and the Singhs, and an unprecedented exhibition of paintings by South Asian women artists. Madanjeet Singh narrates an account of these events, providing insights into age-old links between the music and art of South Asia and the pluralist culture and legacy of Kashmiriyat. KASHMIRIYAT Madanjeet Singh was born on 16 April 1924 in Lahore, present-day Pakistan. A well-known painter and a distinguished photographer, he is an internationally known author of several books on art and other subjects, closely interwoven with UNESCO’s programmes, principles and ideals. During Mahatma Gandhi’s ‘Quit India’ movement in 1942 against colonial rule, Madanjeet Singh was imprisoned. He later migrated to newly partitioned India in 1947 and worked in a refugee camp. He joined the Indian Foreign Service in 1953 and served as Ambassador of India in Asia, South America, Africa and Europe before joining UNESCO in1982, based in Paris. South Asia Foundation At the inaugural ceremony of the Institute of Kashmir Studies on 26 May 2008, Madanjeet Singh presented President Pratibha In 1995, in recognition of his lifelong devotion to the cause of Patil with a copy of his book, This My People, to which Prime communal harmony and peace, the UNESCO Executive Board Minister Jawaharlal Nehru handwrote a preface, shortly after created the biennial ‘UNESCO-Madanjeet Singh Prize for the India’s Partition in 1947.

  • Earliest Settlers of Kashmir
    Earliest Settlers of Kashmir R. N. KAW KASHMIR is a saucer-shaped vale with a length of 134 km. a breadth of 38 km. at its broadest point and a mean height of 1800 m. above sea level. It has a temperate climate and during winters the valley is covered with snow. Besides its magnificent woods, enchanting lakes, rivers and meadows and glorious snow clad mountains, it has a remarkable wealth of archaeological sites and monuments ranging from prehistoric times to the Moghul period. The tradition says that Kashmir was once a lake known as Sati-Saras, the Lake of Sati. The lacustrine deposits locally known as karewas, which are dotted all over the valley, substantiate it. Neolithic man settled on these karewas. De Terra and Paterson carried out the first exploration in Kashmir during the year 1935. They could not find any remains of the Paleolithic man but later on in 1969-70 Prof. Sankalia and a team of the Archaeological Survey of India discovered the first Paleolithic tool from Kashmir. In fact Prof. Sankalia claims that these are the earliest Paleolithic remains in the whole of Asia. De Terra and Paterson first made the discovery of Burzahom during their expedition in 1935. They noticed menhirs at the site. A limited excavation near the menhirs was conducted by them which yielded some black polished ware with incised designs besides some bone and stone tools, the excavated remains were taken to be belonging to ‘either a late or an early phase of the Indus Culture.

  • Amnesty International
    amnesty international £INDIA @Masroof Sultan: a rare survivor of torture and attempted killing in custody in Jammu and Kashmir JUNE 1993 AI INDEX: ASA 20/28/93 DISTR: SC/CO/GR Reports allege a sharp rise in custodial killings in Jammu and Kashmir since the middle of 1992. Civil liberties groups, journalists and other non-governmental sources in India have reported that in that period several hundred people have been killed in custody by the security forces shortly after their arrest, in nearly all cases after torture. Athough the security forces often responded by saying such people have been killed in "cross fire" with militants, Masroof Sultan's testimony clearly illustrates that such statements have been used to cover-up the torture and killing of suspects in custody. This is a practice which now appears to have reached alarming proportions in Jammu and Kashmir. Amnesty International fears for Masroof Sultan's state of health, and is deeply concerned his safety, that of his family members and that of scores of men who are reportedly subjected to routine torture, often with fatal consequences, after being taken into custody by the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir. Figure 1 Masroof Sultan in hospital, with open wounds on his legs, likely to have been caused by gunshots. The fracture of his leg "may well have been caused by severe beating". The incident described below is unique in that the victim survived three attempts to shoot him, and that Masroof Sultan's testimony of torture and attempts to kill him in custody are consistent with the findings of examinations carried out by a foreign doctor in Srinagar.
