ander Shalteng. The ‘Area Commander’ gallantly slit veins of my neighbour Nisar Shah, in his earlyWhy are you misleading the World with misinformation campaign?
Historical decisions right or wrong are beyond correction. It is beyond Shariat and beyond the preview of seh-telaq. What happened in 1990 and thereafter is all misfortune for all Kashmiris in general and for Kashmiri Pundits in particular. The blunder was initiated by the youth from the majority community who humiliated their elders, abused and accused them of acquiesce since 1947. Some of them assured them accession with Pakistan, some secession from India, some Sultanate of Sheikhs and some Switzerland type Government within a fortnight.
Soon well armed mercenaries from Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sudan, Lebanon and many other countries joined the misadventure’ an abortive dream supported by the State Government of the Time and the Central Government that is always caught napping.
The highwayman in the dark night turned honoured citizen in the daylight. Soon for his nefarious jobs he attained name , fame and recognition as an Area Comm thirties for he had challenged the Imam for sowing seeds of communal hatred. Khaliq Pachen’s corpse was shoed and spit for one week at the Habba kadal crossing as scarecrow until some Mufti dared to declare the gallantry un Islamic. Additional DC Rashid Khan was shot dead and no jinaza was allowed in favour of the innocent victim, no matter whether Hadith permitted it or not. The list is unending.
Unfortunately the progeny is fed with misinformation with ill motives by those who are one character in the dark and the other in the light.
27th October, 1947 I was a boy of 8. To the best of my knowledge, the Indian Army was invited and welcome to rescue Kashmir from the Pakistan invaders and as such is not an occupational force. My information is not from any tainted History. I am personally a witness to the occurrences of the event.
1947, our common slogan was: “hamla awar khaberdar, hum kashmiri hain teyar. Sheri Kashmir ka kiya irshad: Hindu Muslim Sikh itihad.” My commander those days was Sheikh Ghulam Nabi my junior, retired Executive Engineer, cousin of Sheikh Abdhul Salam, retired Commissioner for works. At times we in a joint parade with Tankipora cadets were commanded by Shamasdin son of Noor Mohammad, gatekeeper at Pladium Cinema a resident of Tankipora, Elders were commanded by Sheir Aziz.
Slogan against Indian Army was out of question. While sorties were bombarding the invaders at Shaltengh ( Battle of Shaltengh), the civilians, both Muslims and Pundits, contrary to the instructions to lie down at the threshold entrance on hearing siren, used to wave their shirts or some red cloth to the bombers with cries of welcome in excitement on their rooftops.
Pundit Vedh Lal Vakil Dhar from Zaindar Mohalla was put in jail in 1947 by Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah (Read Runghea duchie) for he had opposed both Sheikh Sahib and Pundit Nehru for their policies. He cautioned that once the Indian Army was invited subject to signing of the instrument of accession under compulsion or as per sweet will would not be revocable.
Early fifties and even in mid sixties after his release from jail, Sheikh Sahib in the robes of a Sultan (Night gown-little knowing that the night gown reminds one of a bedroom) was often seen in processions through Zaindar Mohalla. On his either side there used to be two well built and well cut Guers- Shahban Guer and Mohamedi Guer (milkmen) armed with long round-ball type top ‘dandas’ in their hands to pose for the body guard of a Sultan. Unfortunate that he left his mortal frame before he could be declared Sultan; he seems to have whispered to his progeny to ensure that Kashmir was declared a Sultanate to bring peace to his soul.
I personally worked hard for the issuance of Passport in favour of a Pak trained ex. militant Bashir Ahmmed Haroon who served his jail term of nine months under PSA so that he could go for pilgrimage to Mecca Medina. Despite favourable recommendations by the SSP IPS CID on 24-05-2011, the department has not cleared it. On the other hand Yasin Malik head of JKLF left for the pilgrimage on the 29th of October 2011. It is said that ten quintals of mutton is prepared to give a sumptuous feast. It smells that ‘dulghee is aez terfie serkar’
