KASHMIR SENTINEL
August 16-September
15, 2000
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR None so blind Sir, We are a nation of hypocrites. We do not call a spade a spade. We want to maintain that no Kashmiri Muslim, none, is involved directly or indirectly this massacre. We want to believe hundred per-cent of K.M's have had a change of heart. We are convinced FarooqAbdullah is the true nationalist. We don't want to accept that the militants sitting at the negotiating table and the militants killing innocent worshippers are two sides of the same coin."None so blind than those who refuse to see." As I have said before the only hero in this gory episode is the
non-Kashmiri Hindu who is continuing his yatra and is prepared to meet the killers in
their own den. The nation has to arm him and get him and other young men like him live
around yatra points,"Paroas" and temples on yatra routes from Vairinag to
Chandanwari and fight for the yatra route the year around. Let him do it Israeli style.
Article 370 is not a sacred cow. There is other option as well in case we are reluctant to
fiddle with the sanctity of Article 370. Settle K.Ps on these points. Give them land
around these temples. Give them tractors, give them guns. Get them do this job jew style.
Hope the visits to Israel by our leaders are not just a jaunt abroad. Hope we Let us not be ostrichs with our head in the sand. Stand up and be counted. Now is the time to leave our stamp on today's history of this sacred region. --S.D. Khanna |
