India Pushing Kashmiri Youth to Wall: Masood INDIA PUSHING KASHMIRI YOUTH TO WALL: MASOOD The Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has said that India had pushed the Kashmiri people toward the wall, and now they have no option except to fight. He said that today, every child of the age of ten to twelve years in occupied Kashmir is set to stand before the gun-wielding India army soldier to fight and die so as to save the honour and modesty of their mothers and sisters. Talking to a delegation of Friends of Kashmir Canada led by its convener Dr. Zafar Bangash here on Monday, he said that the UK, European and French parliaments as well as the US Congress and the US house of representatives have raised their voice over flagrant human rights violations in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOJK). The AJK president maintained that these leading parliaments of the world had not only raised their voice for the rights of the Kashmiri people, but they also publicly criticized Indian repression in the held territory. He, however, regretted that other countries except China, Malaysia, Turkey and Iran have kept mum on the government-level over the situation of occupied Kashmir. "The Indian government headed by fanatic Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attempting to establish Hindu settlements in occupied Kashmir on the pattern of Israeli settlements in order to settle non-Kashmiri Hindus and ex-servicemen there in an attempt to turn the Muslim majority into a minority," he said and added that such attempts under international law are ethnic cleansing. The state president that organizations like Friends of Kashmir Canada can play an important role to break the silence of big powers and international forums on the aggravating the situation of occupied Kashmir. Sardar Masood Khan said that the parliamentarians, media persons and the common people believing in humanity and the human values were speaking in favor of Kashmiri people, but the governments of important countries need to raise their voice against the Indian repression, human rights violations and the genocide of Kashmiri people. "The international community particularly media has rejected the steps India has taken in occupied Kashmir after August 5, and particularly the mainstream global media is constantly rejecting the Indian stand and highlighting events in Kashmir in their true perspective to expose India's false narrative," he asserted. He said that India had killed more than half million Kashmiri people since 1947 and had subjected more than 10,000 Kashmiri women to sexual violence. Since August 5, he maintained that the whole nine million population of occupied Kashmir was under siege, while more than 13,000 youth have been arrested and were being subjected to the worst torture in the Indian prisons. Similarly, the Kashmiri women are being threatened to kidnap. The state president also apprised the Canadian delegation of the history of Azad Kashmir, as well as political and administrative reforms and priorities of the state government..

  • Archaeology As a Source of Shared History: a Case Study of Ancient Kashmir
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Knowledge Repository Open Network Archaeology as a Source of Shared History: A Case Study of Ancient Kashmir THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF KASHMIR FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (M.Phil) IN HISTORY By SHAJER US SHAFIQ JAN UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF Prof. PARVEEZ AHMAD P.G. DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, UNIVERSITY OF KASHMIR, HAZRATBAL SRINAGAR, 190006. 2012 Introduction Archaeology does not only constitute the sole source of the 99% of the total time of man on this planet and an important supplementary source of the period that followed invention of writing, but, more than that, it helps us to write a unitary history of mankind by throwing light on the origin, growth, diffusion and transmission of humans and their culture. Deeply pained by the disastrous consequences of perverted nationalism, which resulted into two heinous world wars, A. J. Toynbee embarked on the ambitious project of demolishing the Euro-centric view of history, employed by the colonial historians as an instrument to justify imperialism. And in this great human cause he was supported by archaeology. A meaningful universal view of history was possible only by bringing to focus the contributions made by different western and non-western cultures to the human civilization. Archaeology poured out profusely in favour of plural sources of human civilization which emboldened Toynbee to sail against the tide—a fact which he acknowledges radiantly. It has been empirically proven that cultures have evolved and grown owing to plural causative factors having their origins both within and outside their local geographical borders.

  • Temple Desecration in Pre-Modern India
    HISTORICAL ANALYSIS Temple desecration in pre-modern India When, where, and why were Hindu temples desecrated in pre-modern history, and how was this connected with the rise of Indo-Muslim states? The historical experience of temple desecration in pre-modern India – and, at a more general level, contested his- tory revolving round Indo-Muslim rulers and states – has become a sensitive mass political issue in contemporary India. The demolition of the Babri Masjid, on December 6, 1992, by storm-troopers of the Sangh Parivar, and the train of communal violence and ‘ill-fare’ this vandalism brought to different regions of the country, propelled the issue to national centre-stage. The ideologues of the Hindu Right have, through a manipulation of pre-modern his- tory and a tendentious use of source material and historical data, built up a dangerously plausible picture of fanati- cism, vandalism and villainy on the part of the Indo-Muslim conquerors and rulers. Part of the ideological and political argument of the Hindu Right is the assertion that for about five centuries from the thirteenth, Indo-Muslim states were driven by a ‘theology of iconoclasm’ – not to mention fanaticism, lust for plunder, and uncompromis- ing hatred of Hindu religion and places of worship. In this illuminating and nuanced essay on temple desecration and Indo-Muslim states, which Frontline offers its readers in two parts, the historian Richard M. Eaton presents important new insights and meticulously substantiated conclusions on what happened or is likely to have happened in pre-modern India. – Editor, Frontline RICHARD M. EATON cited by Hindu nationalists is found in Persian materials trans- lated and published during the British occupation of India.

Yet, Pakistan shares significant portions of history with many other cultures and people of the Indian sub continent. The north-west comer of the Indian subcontinent, which is now Pakistan, lies betwixt the historical invasion routes through the Khyber, Gumal and Bolan passes from central Asia to the heartland of India. For thousands of years, invaders and adventurers swept down upon the settlements there. Modern-day Pakistan once formed an integral part of the Indus Valley civilization that flourished more than 5,000 years ago. The original inhabitants of Pakistan were Stone Age people in the Potwar Plateau (north-west Punjab). They were followed by the sophisticated Indus Valley (or Harappan) civilization which flourished between the 23rd to 18th centuries BCE.
