Q. why I didn't feel humiliated or shook with fear every time I saw the para-military patrolling the streets?
A. because I felt safe, and many others did. I could complete my tuitions and come home by 7 PM, and having those men with guns on the streets made me think.....oh shit I lived another day.
Q. why, instead of the terrain being similar, NE though troubled, is returning to normalcy?
A. because people were fed up. Fed up of the killings, of being dirt poor. Their aspirations rose seeing the developed parts of India.
Q. why every author, sheds his crocodile tears for Kashmir, but not much for the NE?
A. if not Pulitzer, then this type of articles get them noticed. Thekedars of the left wing.
Everybody's plight is Kashmir because they say India is killing Muslims. No. India is killing terrorists who happen to be Muslims, Christians as well as Hindus and Sikhs. Some kashmiris support them, and as long as they support these proxies of the Pakistan Army, they will be found out and killed. America is doing this in Afghanistan-Pakistan and around the globe, I don't see any reason why India can't do the same in our own land. Everything else be damned. Who's going to stop us?
These type of journalists peddle yellow journalism, the Mani Shankar/Barkha Dutt types', who's so indulgent in discrediting the forces and glamorising terrorism in Kashmir and by extension Pakistan that they can't see how often they get used against their own country. Life was difficult for me too when I was growing up. I had a choice. I took it. I chose to study, do things on my own merit, instead of picking up a gun. I know some people who went the other way, their obituaries came shortly in the newspapers.
