| Kashmir ‘Defies’ One-Nation One-Tax Regime | | Straight Talk | |
By K B Jandial
Unlike in rest of India, the GST in J&K will not be rolled out on 1st July this year, sending a loud and unambiguous message that J&K is a separate territory ( and quom) which doesn’t welcome ‘Indian laws’ howsoever progressive and pro-consumer these may be.
On Saturday last, an unprecedented parliamentary ‘coup’ was quietly executed by the law makers including BJP within the legislative assembly, supported by ever vocal Kashmiri traders from outside that stalled for the time being introduction of GST bill for which it was specially convened. The Hurriyat Conference too had lent its support to the Kashmiri traders. And the Govt too readily obliged by deferring... |

| | The issue of minority status for Pandits | | |
By K.N. Pandita
Chairman National Minority Commission has opined that Kashmiri Pandits should be given the status of a minority community. This status is granted only by the Union Home Ministry. There are six communities in the country which have been accorded minority status with Jains being the recent entry into the list after Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and Parsees.
Since the matter of minority status to Kashmiri Pandits pertains to a group of the citizens of J&K where Article 370 of the Constitution is applicable, the Home Ministry cannot bypass the State Government even if it wants to include the Pandits in its list of national minorities.

| | It’s not Kashmiriyat | | |
By Amit Kushari IAS (Retd)
Nowadays, I often find young Kashmiri men posting their photos on the facebook with the caption,” Proud to be a Kashmiri”. What do these young men and women want to convey? We are all proud Indians, proud Biharis, proud Tamils or proud Bengalis…..what is so special that it has to be announced boldly . We are all proud of our mothers and motherland. If a Kashmiri is proud of his Kashmiri roots, it is a very natural feeling and everybody appreciates it. However, if there is any hint of a Kashmiri not being a proud Indian, just because he is a Kashmiri, then it becomes somewhat controversial. There are approximately 2 lakhs of Kashmiri Pundits in Jammu, Delh... |

Kashmir witnessed some important developments recently that have confused the Kashmir watchers about the real aspirations of young educated youth claims and counter claims notwithstanding. If one goes by the media reports, Burhan Wani, Sabzar Bhat and their ilks in battle fatigue are the ‘iconic’ figures for today’s Kashmiri youth and the news stories do not leave any scope for misgivings on this count. The counter narrative looks somewhat absurd in the face of newspapers’ columns full of India bashing, alleged atrocities and daily violence especially the stone pelting and aftermath of killing of a prized terrorist. The press only present “war like” situation as... |

Barely nine days after the Defence Minister Arun Jaitely claimed that the situation in Kashmir is much better than what the media has been projecting, another cycle of violence erupted in some parts of Kashmir following killing of Hizbul Mujahedeen ‘chief’ Sabzar Bhat in an encounter at Tral in wee hours of Saturday.
What made Jaitely to say so at Srinagar without fear of contradiction? Admittedly, at that point of time there was semblance of peace in the summer capital of the State. It is not that Jaitely does not know that Kashmir is volatile. Kashmir’s undercurrents have never been positive but it is also known for changing colours and vacillating peop... |

Pakistan was over confident of its safe passage at The Hague. Therefore the unanimous ruling that laid bare its Jadhav perfidy came to her as a rude shock.
What had made Pakistan over-confident? Usually in a conflict between India and Pakistan, western community follows the roadmap chartered by the US. Therefore anti-India stance comes handy. Besides that Islamic Pakistan’s fondness for her atheist friend sharpens her anti-India edge.
Pakistan’s surprise is not only that ICJ ruling went against her; it is more that her old friends let her down.
In the aftermath of ICJ verdict, Pakistani ruling circles are trying to pass the buck. The crisis is that Islamabad... |
