From stones to guns, a ‘martyr’ at home
Among thousands people including men, women, and children of all ages, the body of a local militant, lies on a bed and wrapped in a shroud. They (people) are desperate to have a glimpse of the Shabir Ahmad Shiekh, who is now a “martyr” for the people of his ancestral village.

“Punish all perpetrators of human rights violations in JK”
The Peoples Union for Democratic Rights (PUDR)- an India based group, has welcomed the report “Alleged Perpetrators” released by the International Peoples’ Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in Indian-Administered Kashmir (IPTK) and Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons (APDP) about the continuous impunity enjoyed by the paramilitary forces and the police in the Jammu [...]

Kashmiris on a different road: anti-Islam film, protests and beyond
By Inshah Malik Kashmir, its people and their passions often get sidelined, when a swarm of angry protestors across the West Asia flood at the American embassies registering their discontent against ‘disrespect shown to the Holy Prophet of Islam’. Kashmiris are well updated about the events concerning Muslims at large and those issues have varied [...]

My neighbour, a PSA detainee
By Ikram Ullah During the raging summer of 2010 in Kashmir, I woke up one night to the raucous growling and snarling of dogs in the vicinity. It was a time when Kashmir was on the boil and the unrest of summer 2010 was greatly in progress. On a daily basis, I would read and [...]

Who is calling the shots in Kashmir?
By Gowhar Geelani Perhaps it is the state’s worst-kept secret that politics of any kind is not allowed inside the University of Kashmir. Since past two decades the so-called mainstream politicians, perhaps deeply disturbed by the popularity of leaders belonging to the pro-resistance camp, have been pitching for “de-linking politics from academics”. In this very [...]

Editorial: Another tragedy of justice
The Indian Supreme Court decision, last week, which gives the Army privilege to choose the form of trial- whether military court martial or civilian courts- for the gruesome murders it committed 12 years ago, has strengthened army claims and impunity to them under Armed Forces Special Powers act (AFSPA). The decision, however, did expose the [...]

Pathribal ruling a setback for justice in Jammu and Kashmir: Amnesty International
This is the statement issued by the Amnesty International. Special powers that allow India’s armed forces suspected of involvement in extra-judicial killings to sidestep the civilian courts have been reinforced in a disappointing court ruling over the notorious killings of five Kashmiri civilians 12 years ago. India’s Supreme Court has contradicted a reported statement by [...]

“In J&K, the elected representatives are helpless to end the state of impunity”
Peoples Union for Democratic Rights is outraged at the brazen claim advanced by the Indian Army that let alone sanction for prosecution, no civil administration can even register a FIR against army personnel without sanction of the Central government. During the hearing on CBI’s complaint against the army for shielding their personnel accused of fake [...]

Manufacturing Dissent, Making Mahatmas: Manu, Market, Media and the Anti-Corruption Sham!
By Umar Khalid All historical struggles, whether they occur in the political, religious, philosophical or some other ideological domain, are in fact only the more or less clear expression of the struggles of social classes. – Engels When two events occur in the same space and time, more often than not, there is a correlation [...]

I Am Not A Kashmiri
By Stuti Govil I sit down to write this in the brief interlude following a rather devastating piece from the recently released anthology ‘Until My Freedom Has Come’. But the self is reminded, once again, of the fallacy of the word chosen. There is no respite, no running away from the crushing despair that [...]
