  • Better Economic Alternative for Rural Kashmir :By Mr. Riyaz Ahmed Wani
    Better economic alternative for rural Kashmir :by Mr. Riyaz Ahmed Wani GENESIS OF ECONOMIC CRISIS IN J&K Post 1947, Kashmir economy had a cataclysmic start. The state embarked upon its development process by the enactment of Big Landed Estates Act 1949-50, a radical land redistribution measure which abolished as many as nine thousand Jagirs and Muafis. The 4.5 lac acres of land so expropriated was redistributed to tenants and landless. Land ceiling was fixed at 22.75 acres. This was nothing short of a revolutionary departure from a repressive feudal past. And significantly enough, it was preceded or followed by little or negligible social disturbance. This despite the fact that no compensation was paid to landlords. More than anything else, it is this measure which set the stage for new J&K economy. In the given circumstances, the land reforms proved sufficient to turn around the economic condition of the countryside with the hitherto tenants in a position to own land and cultivate it for themselves. However, the reforms though unprecedented in their nature and scale were not only pursued for their own sake but were also underpinned by an ambitious economic vision. Naya Kashmir, a vision statement of Shiekh Muhammad Abdullah, laid down more or less a comprehensive plan for a wholesome economic development of the state. But the dismissal of Shiekh Abdullah’s legitimately elected government in 1953 by the centre changed all that. The consequent uncertainty which lingers even now created an adhocist political culture animated more by vested interest than a commitment to the development of the state.

  • Inclusion and Exclusion – Emergent
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 3/2013, S. 111-134 © Südasien- Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-295-3 Inclusion and Exclusion: Emergent Social Milieus in Kashmir‘s Suburbs DAVID DEVADAS [email protected] Introduction This paper is about the development of suburbs in Kashmir over the past quarter century. The former polarity between city and hinterland is becoming blurred in these suburbs, both physically and culturally. This paper is divided into two parts. The first gives a macroscopic overview of how the concepts and contours of community are being re-imagined in these suburbs. Part Two provides glimpses of the same processes on a microcosmic scale, presenting the ongoing socio-economic and cultural changes as organic processes. The intention is that this micro- view will, in combination with the macro-perspective presented in Part One, give a multi-dimensional impression of community-formation in suburban Kashmir. Part One describes hitherto uncommon forms of exclusion in these suburbs, even to the extent of apparent social fragmentation. On the 111 other hand, new patterns of inclusion are also becoming evident, some of them trans-local, virtual, even global in scale. Part Two presents a set of vignettes from my participant observations (Robben & Sluka 2012: 3) during fieldwork at a Kashmiri suburban wedding in the late summer of 2011. Through my participant observations at rituals and preparations in the bride’s household, I present glimpses of emergent facets of inclusion and exclusion in relationships based on family, friendship, religion, gender and linguistic-ethnic community. 1. Emergent Communities In order to adequately understand contemporary developments in urbanism in Kashmir, it is worthwhile first to focus briefly on what the DAVID DEVADAS term ‘city’ has traditionally meant in that particular context.

  • Human Rights Review 2016
    HUMAN RIGHTS REVIEW 2016 I Insha Malik, 14, blinded in both her eyes due to pellets fired at her by government forces Jammu Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society The Bund, Amira Kadal, Srinagar J&K www.jkccs.net PAGE 1 BRIEF OVERVIEW OF YEAR 2016 The year of 2016 has just ended. The year of 2016 has singularly been one of the most violent years of the last decade. The scale of human rights violence perpetrated against the people of Jammu and Kashmir alone suggests that the governments in Kashmir continue to repress the political aspirations of people with absolute and total violence. The year of 2016 has not just seen the killing of almost 145 civilians at the hands of police and paramilitary personal, but it has seen an upward trend in the number of militants and armed forces killings. The year of 2016 was marred with an unprecedented cycle of violence. Throughout the year Kashmiris witnessed gross violations of human rights in the form of extrajudicial executions, injuries, illegal detentions, torture, sexual violence, disappearances, arson and vandalism of civilian properties, restriction on congregational religious activities, media gags, and ban on communication and internet services, etc. The most fundamental rights of people were curtailed through the imposition of curfew, strikes and continued violence. The long pending conflict in Jammu and Kashmir continues to take human lives every year, endlessly. In 2016 the Jammu and Kashmir witnessed the killing of 383 persons which is statistically the highest in last five years. Moreover, thousands and thousands of persons were injured and there were illegal detentions of around 10,000 people besides arson and clampdown of communication services.

Members of the APDP have been engaged in documenting enforced disappearances in Kashmir since 1989 and have collected information on over one thousand such cases, so far. On the 10th of each month families of the disappeared come together under the aegis of APDP to hold a public protest in Srinagar to commemorate the disappearance of their loved ones and to seek answers from the state about the whereabouts of the missing persons.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract This thesis focuses on the militarisation of a secessionist movement involving Kashmiri militants and Indian military forces in the north Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. The term militarisation in this thesis connotes the militarised state and, more primarily, the growing influence of the military within the state that has profound implications for state and society. In contrast to conventional approaches that distinguish between inter and intra-state military conflict, this thesis analyses India’s external and domestic crises of militarisation within a single analytic frame to argue that both dimensions are not mutually exclusive but have common political origins. Kashmir, this thesis further argues, exemplifies the intersection between militarisation’s external and domestic dimensions.

A mini India with rich cultural diversity and heritage of more than 34 different ethnic groups and with a history of more than 2000 years old, it was once a princely state till it merged with the Union of India on 21st September, 1949 (effective from October 15, 1949) and eventually got the statehood status in 1972. Nearly 2 decades after its merger with the Union of India, Manipur started getting embroiled in conflict with a number of insurgent groups. Insurgency started from the 1960s with valley based groups like UNLF, PLA, PREPAK, KCP, KYKL etc the agenda and demands basically to secede from the Indian Union and restore the pre-merger status. Over the years several other groups especially hill based Naga groups, Kuki groups and valley based Muslim groups each with their set of demands and agenda started raising war against the government pegging the total figure of Insurgent groups operating in this small state from the 1960s to the early 2010s to an astounding more than 60 which in itself is quite a phenomenon.

  • A Study of the Pilgrimage Tourism of Kashmir
    1 A STUDY OF THE PILGRIMAGE TOURISM OF KASHMIR ABSTRACT THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF doctor of $f)tlQSfopf)j^ IN COMMERCE By SHAHNAWAZ AHMAD DAR UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF DR. S.M. IMAMUL HAQUE READER DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY AllGARH (INDIA) 2008 ABSTRACT Tourism is a phenomenon which was a strong motive behind the movement of people in ancient time and is still the strongest motive for causing the movement of millions of people across the regional, national and international boundaries. Travel which initially started with the intention to fulfil the religious/spiritual/pilgrimage needs of a person is again becoming the largest motivator to undertake travel. India recorded 4.43 million international tourist arrivals and over 400 million domestic tourists in 2006. In the same year, Indian tourism generated US$ 6 billion foreign exchange and contributed 5.83% to the GDP. Tourism to India means the third largest foreign exchange earner and one of the largest employment generating industry. India is gifted by a miniature India in the form of State of Jammu and Kashmir. The State comprises three divisions namely, Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. Each division has its own unique climate, geographical setting, religious beliefs, food pattern, art, culture and traditions and is full of tourism assets which are also distinctive. Jammu division is a Hindu dominant area. It has innumerable temples spread through out its length and breadth. Jammu is also called as ''City of Temples'". Ladakh, also called as the ''Land of Lamas", is a mountainous country. It is dominated by Buddhist population.
