After 5 years when I landed at Srinagar international airport in the afternoon, I was amused to see the Paradise on the earth with a pleasant environment. Good conditions of Roads, costly bungalows and relaxed army personals welcome us. The atmosphere was full of peace and festive mood.
First ray of Sun shine on the silent Jhelum River give me picture of a beautiful state with rich culture, innocent generation and intellectual mindset. Shikara’s on the silent water of the Dal lake and Lal chowk’s busy pavement shows a beautiful picture of the silent paradise. Much water have flown down the Jhelum but today’s still water in Jhelum give me a feeling of a peace and love in paradise. Late evening I saw a young man speaking with his girl friend on the bank of Jhelum give remembrance of old Hindi movie with melodious love songs. I was amazed to see the new Kashmir, where youth are busy to identify new opportunity and government with young leadership is busy to announce new development schemes. I find new Kashmir as the land of Love and promises with lot of soldiers. You tube and internet is common tool for new generation of the Kashmir.
In this Paradise silence is like a top creamy layer of the cake. Other layers of the cake are not so beautiful. A single incident of Encounter, human right violence, Custody in valley changes this picture entirely. Regular terrorist activities have been replaced with youth having sling shot in their hand and with pro-azadi slogan on the streets of the Srinagar. Sling shots in the schoolbag of students are common after Shopian murders. Lal Chowk book stores are full of pro- Azadi Literature and reports of Indian army’s human rights violation. “Azadi” is a buzz in the Srinagar and other remote area of the Kashmir, and they want to be independent of any control from India and Pakistan. Indian Govt and its representatives in state need to build more confidence within residents and work hard to develop more opportunities for the young and empty hands. After partition of India the people of unfortunate land continue to face insurgency and militancy. I feel utter bitterness against Indian Army within the locals. Modus of operand of Indian Army have not achieved much respect and confidence with in locals yet. I firmly believe that Government agencies need to create an environment of believes development and justice for people of Kashmir. Leadership should represent the Kashmir people, their needs and issues. People of Kashmir have understood that violence is not only the solution of their demands. People should not be denied the justice and justice should not be delayed.

kashmir : Bullet se Ballet Tak
After Amarnath Land row, when Election commission of India declares the elections in the state of J&K, Nobody was sure about the fate of elections. But 65% of turnout in valley even after call for boycott by separatist leaders shows a peaceful sign in the valley. Whole the world was surprised and trying to understand the feeling of a common Kashmiri who three month before pelted stones , shouted slogan against government but come out from their houses to vote for democratic Process.
It was a feeling with in Common Kashmiri that “Need of a common man like BIJLI,SADAK,PANI can not wait to resolve the Kashmir Issue”. Support of Kashmiri Awam to elections not only surprised the separatist leadership of Kashmir but also shocked them. Their claim of being real AWAZ of AWAM was neglected by people of Kashmir. Kashmir people choose ballet over bullet to resolve the problems and choose path of development. This time Kashmir vote for youth leadership with an ambition of development to come back to business after years of insurgency.
When new collation government will be placed not only then have the responsibility of providing good government but also to full fill the ambitions of common people who come out to vote for change. The challenges for new governments will be the young unemployed Kashmiri looking for new job opportunity, to start dialogue with the separatist leaders and provide a blue print for development of Kashmir. It’s a high time for the Government of India to work with state leadership to bring all mainstream and separatist politicians to resolve the issue of Kashmir. It does not matter who become next CM of the state but the writing on the wall of Kashmir is clear “THEY WANT BIJLI, SADAK, PANI, JOBS”. They want to see their full house votes, Hotels not bombs guns.

Lata mangeskar and Sachin Tendular is not a Bharat Ratna
Should sachin tendulkar or Lata Mangeskar be awarded with India's highest civilian award "Bharat Ratna"? If Shri Raj thankre have to decide, He will say no, because "Bharat Ratna" is the award for an indian not for any marathi.
Is being Marathi,Bangali,Dalit,Bihari or Assamis bigger than being Indian? At least any common man in india will not accept this. When any one is citizen ofIndia, He is indian first then Marathi or Bangali. Yesterday In a television program "Mudda" telecasted on IBN7 a viewer says,"North indian live in Mumbai but does not know marathi" do any one need to have language visa to stay in my country.
Why marathis are attacking on Amitabh Bachchan? When no one questioned the integrety of Sachin when he plays for india or plays for mumbai. Or no one questions "Saat Sur" of lata ji when she sings for marathi movies or sings for Hindi moviews.
Where was some politicians when whole india was generously donating every thing for Lature earth quake victims. do Ever so called marathi politician pay tribute to any Marathi Solider die in the cold condition in Kashmir. So as per some politician every Solider need to know Kashmiri when s/he posted at Kashir and need to learn regional language when s/he posted in the north east region of India.
Really, for Raj Being Marathi is better than being Indian, So what if Shahrukh khan pay rs 15cr as income tax dept in mumbai? So what india come together when some clamity arise whether in Marathi or in Kasmiri region? Raj need a marathi so what tears rolls in the eyes of jawahar Lal Nehru after hearing a song form Lata Ji a Marathi. So what when sachin a marathi hits the century and whole india stood on there foots and says sachin aal re.
if being Marathi is greater than being Indias than Lata ji and sachin can not be honoured as "BHARAT RATNA".
