Kashmiriyat, Featured Culture of Bhakti-Sufi-Rishi Singhs, and an Junoon and the Music Concert India/Pakistan Artists
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. -

Is the United Nations Still Relevant for Kashmir?
Is the United Nations Still Relevant for Kashmir? Neera Chandhoke The question posed in the title of this essay can possibly be addressed in two ways. The first answer is fairly straightforward, and tends towards pessimism. By any measure Security Council intervention in Jammu and Kashmir (henceforth simply Kashmir) has been ineffective. For seventeen years (1948 to 1965) the UNSC remained actively involved in the Kashmir issue, adopted about twenty-three resolutions in the period 1948- 1971, and it established organisations and appointed various officials to deal with the matter. To date neither has the territorial dispute between the two countries been resolved,1 nor has peace come to the Valley and, by implication, to the Indian sub continent. Despite the attempts of the Security Council to secure the demilitarisation of the region, within a span of sixteen years, the first Indo-Pakistani War (1947-48) was followed by another war over Kashmir in 1965. Though the region was not the direct cause for the third Indo-Pakistani War in 1971; Jammu and Kashmir was constituted as one of the theatres of war. And Kashmir, as we shall see, loomed large over the political negotiations that followed the war. In 1999 another war between the two countries took place in Kargil in Jammu and Kashmir, when Pakistani forces invaded the territory. On that occasion, “restrained but effective Indian military action, supplemented by strong US pressure in the later stages, forced Pakistan to pull back.”2 On other occasions, notably 2001-2002, India and Pakistan have come close to war. The unresolved conflict in Kashmir has prevented normalisation of relations between the two neighbours who have otherwise much in common from languages, meaning systems, music, and love of cricket and Bollywood, to shared historical memories. -

India and Islamic World Edited by Riyaz Punjabi and A.K. Pasha
Journal of Peace Studies Vol. 5, Issue 1, January-February, 1998 India and Islamic world Edited by Riyaz Punjabi and A.K. Pasha Book Review by Saleem Kidwai* *Dr. Saleem Kidwai, is Visiting Faculty in CAWES, SIS, JNU, New Delhi. Islam has the second largest following in the world. It is the principal religion in a region that extends from Morocco on the Atlantic through North and East Africa and into sub-Saharan Africa, across the broad expanse of central and South-West Asia to the headwaters of the Indus in the tableland of Tibet, and southward to the Java sea. There are about one billion Muslims all over the world who constitute majority in about 50 states. They control most of the oil and occupy world’s most strategic areas where politics is enmeshed with religion. The end of the cold war has even intensified the rise of religious fundamentalism in Muslim countries. All over the Muslim world, from Algeria, Morocco, Libya and Egypt to Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia, there has been a persistent undercurrent of religious revival, taking the form of an aggressive political ideology. The media and academic circles, more often than not, have been referring to this phenomenon as Islamic fundamentalism. Senator Larry Presler during his visit to India in early nineties, portrayed a frightful picture of an Islamic fundamentalist grouping emerging on India’s vicinity in the wake of the disintegration of the erstwhile Soviet Union. Presler’s argument was that after the demise of international communism, Islam is presenting itself with renewed vigour as the sole ideological alternative in the vast land mass stretching from Kazakhastan in Central Asia to the Atlantic coast of Morocco. -
