The ages are changing and that too a bit fast! A lottery called as Article 370 and of course the much used word called as discrimination are nuts now!

I have read about Jammu and Kashmir Politics over the ages. Whether it has been good or bad it shaped eras according to the ages they lived in. Jammu was a divided lot with different kings from different traditions.
The advisors too were there in any case they gave less of advice and more of venom to be split. The same scenario carried into politics. In Jammu and Kashmir the problem was and is that it is religious-political politics which has expanded by no means. In Jammu the next man sitting to us in a private service bus cannot be recognized as to whether he was from Jammu or elsewhere. And we think we are developing our culture. We also think that we have a rich cultural heritage. But the bottom line is that we have forgotten the art of thinking. What discrimination are we talking off? Could I be permitted to say that we have no bonds left in a household and we talk of discrimination and that to time and over again! People exploited the people of Jammu to make sure the hay shines always, But it did not happen. We were too lackadaisical in our approach and thus slowly and steadily to mention we one day we will lose our everything and we won’t be able to think as to what mistakes we committed to make sure that Jammu became stronger! The money overdrive took us miles apart and the name of development thought we could out beat the others.
Kashmiris thought that they could do anything on the name of Article 370. But unfortunately speaking one thing was right they kept Jammu at bay. In politics there is no friend or enemy. In short the leaders from Jammu (barring a few used article 370 as a potent weapon to take the people up the gum tree and for Kashmiris it meant some sort idiotic ideology to prevail. If the same state is not one then how can the others from outstate the world offer you condolence here. There is every kind of possibility that we will not be able to cope up with the circumstances. The moment looks fine till we live it but when it passes over we do tend to go ever events thinking, ‘hope I have not committed a mistake or may be a blunder’.
Please do not sell our today for theirs beleaguered children (I mean those who have come here to boss over the locals). We should be more concerned of our children. The government is doing nothing and more expressing the politically vocab. By the way people have got so used to it that it looks worthwhile to many. Inaugurating a stupid water cooler which will be defunct after a month or perhaps more carries no meaning. Politically verbosity has webbed our psyche and we are small spiders who have got caught in it. The bigger ones are weaving more to wreck our psyches…..Think it over If you are a modern day thinker. For me a modern day politicians only because of the fact that I can see him! Period!
