  • Daily Vocab Capsule 17Th December 2018
    Changing the way of learning… th Daily Vocab Capsule 17 December 2018 The Warning Signs Are Loud And Clear Four years of mismanaged politics have plunged J&K into its worst ever cycle of violence and confusion. After remaining in suspended animation for five months, the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly was dissolved by Governor Satya Pal Malik last month. After the November-December 2014 elections to the State Assembly, which produced a fractured mandate, J&K had some years of a Peoples Democratic Party-BJP coalition government, interspersed with a spell of Governor’s rule. In June 2018, the BJP pulled out of this alliance. In November, when the PDP, the Congress and the National Conference had almost reached an understanding to form a government, the Governor decided to dissolve the Assembly. Four years of mismanaged politics have plunged J&K into its worst ever cycle of violence and confusion. Kashmir today is not merely volatile, but is drifting inexorably into anarchy. Violence is the dominant factor. The numbers of militants and security personnel killed dominate newspaper headlines. Over the past three years, South Kashmir had been the main epicentre of violence, but more recently, North and Central Kashmir have also emerged as violence prone. This year has witnessed some of the highest levels of violence since 1989. Areas such as Srinagar which had previously been declared a ‘militancy free zone’ have again witnessed a series of militant attacks. Growing divide In addition to escalating violence, a distinct feature of the situation in Kashmir today is the divide between the administration and the populace, which is possibly at its widest today.

  • Dead but Not Forgotten
    DEAD BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Survey on people killed since 1989-2006 in Baramulla District, of Jammu Kashmir Conducted by JAMMU KASHMIR COALITION OF CIVIL SOCIETY The Bund, Amira Kadal, Srinagar Jammu Kashmir 190001 Tel: +91-194-2482820 Email: [email protected] Web: www.jkccs.org Acknowledgements Studies and surveys undertaken as a collective work and based on voluntary participation of people, where only travel expenses can be met, are an exhilarating experience for the participants. But it is time consuming, and harmonizing pre-occupations of working for living with availability of time for voluntary work can be confounding. There were also moments of tension and frustration because the work was taking too long to complete. But successful teamwork, once completed, is its own reward. The enthusiasm of team members and the process of learning inherent in such efforts is the reason why it is so. This survey and our analysis are now in the public domain. We welcome criticism that will help us improve standard of our work and plug shortcomings that may be brought to our notice. Because struggle for freedom for us also means a commitment to rigorously de-mystify obfuscatory politics, based on a denial of the essential truth that the struggle of our people is just and democratic. A struggle that is getting besmirched by the politics of slander and surrender. We acknowledge our gratitude to the people of Baramulla who so readily came forward to talk to us. And who wanted to share so much more, which, given the nature of the survey, we could not honour.

  • 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.

  • What Makes Kashmiri Youth to Join Militancy? Tahir-Ul Gani Mir* Department of Forensic Science, Lovely Professional University, India
    inolo OPEN ACCESS Freely available online rim gy C : d O n p a e y n g A o c l c o i e Sociology and Criminology- Open Access c s o s S ISSN: 2375-4435 Research Article From Scholars to Teenagers-What Makes Kashmiri Youth to Join Militancy? Tahir-ul Gani Mir* Department of Forensic Science, Lovely Professional University, India ABSTRACT Since the partition in 1947, the Jammu and Kashmir remained disputed between India and Pakistan. The Indian administered Kashmir always suffered violence, protests, curfew, killings etc. However in Pakistan occupied Kashmir there has been never such acts. Various anti-Indian militant organizations came into being since Kashmir was divided between the two countries. Both countries wanted to take over their rule all over Jammu and Kashmir. For this purpose, the two countries have fought two wars since partition which ended with the establishment of Line of control (LOC). After these events, various separatist parties came into being that demanded separation of J&K from India. Various Pakistan based militant outfits came into existence that allowed Kashmiri uneducated and unemployed youth to get training and fight against India. But all this changed after 2016 when a new version of militancy came into existence. Well qualified and educated youth started joining militancy. These militants could have a better life but they preferred to pick up Guns against India. Burhan Wani HM commander, who was killed in 2016 was considered the hero of Kashmir. Similarly, Zakir Musa who was killed in 2019 was a role model for the people of Kashmir.
