Socrates once said that its almost fatal to spread rumours about things which we have heard and its genuineness is not known. This has been the case with J&K since the political upheaval fuelled by seccionist forces with divisive tactics is thriving. Let me discuss some of the relevant issues which are in news. In Administration, majority people should be satisfied because you cannot please everybody and thats a universal axiom. So, Omar abdullah's persistent efforts in bringing tranquility in the State should be appreciated because sitting in an AC lounge sipping a drink in Mumbai TV studio or travelling in a Bangalore bus or in Delhi's metro commenting and raising fingers on anybody's efforts without knowing the true picture is Bad Democracy we have imbibed.

We should repose our Faith and trust in Omar abdullah's way of governance and Centre's not so pro-active policies for the time being. Loud clamouring about the Separate kashmir is baseless because except few seccesionist group which are specifically funded by Pakistan there are no such demands. Youth are always rebellious otherwise they should not be a part of Youth. They are dissatisfied because there is lack of development, dearth of job opportunities, social infrastructure lacking, feeling of alienation from India and many minor issues. But as said by someone that " Development being the best contraceptive" the Government's effort should be to bring the Kashmiri youth into mainstream Administration, mainstream politics, and mainstream India where it may give out an image of Kashmir and its people being a part of India.

Those who demand for seperate kashmir are oblivion of the fact that if that at all happens they end up being a part of Voracious China or Failed Pakistan ultimately ending like Afghanistan whose political stability is still in doldrums. If viewed rationally Kashmir's maximum revenue is generated by tourism, courtesy Amarnath Yatra, Vaishnavdevi Temple, Honeymoon hotspots like Leh, ladakh, gulmarg, Srinagar and many more, even the majority kashmiris do not want to get seperated from India's as it is not in there own interest.
Scrapping of Article 370 which gives J&K a seperate constitution and Constituent assembly should which has been one of the Election manifesto of NDA government should not be discussed now amidst the political turmoil in the valley.
AFSPA(Armed Forces Special Powers Act) which the poeple wants to get removed is neither a problem nor a solution to this unending violence. The troops which are stationed in the valley are for the protection of the people and maintaining law& order which may dissatisfy few but withdrawing it would bring more devastation inthe valley because the insurgency of any terrorist forces or from pakistan army wont be a surprise. National human Rights commission should understand that Administration cannot run pleasing everybody and we are not an EU nation where peace prevails most of time with not intrusive nature. If removed we may see another Kargil anytime which is not wanted. The government can amend some of the clauses in the Rule to make it more human so that no more innocent people are being killed and women are not raped or harrassed. Stern actions should be taken against such officers and should be court martialed but still withdrawing of AFSPA is not recommended.

Those in Authority should be respected, as they know best about J&K, about its people, demography, problems then we people who are always ready to comment. Are our Family problems solved by outsiders? The central governement should continue supporting the NC government and take apt actions.
