Jammu & Kashmir live updates: GOI remove all provisions of Article 370

I have said this before, I am from Jammu province.. You can go on with your gagagagagaga nonsense of blames with absolutely no context of who I am or where I am from or how many family members I have lost to terrorism. Let me tell you the legacy I have and if you hang your head in shame, you could aplogize
First we talk about my forefathers
- My forefathers have migrated from Punjab to live along the Line of Control
- We survived 1947 and even at the risk of a gora drawing a line wrong (Sir radcliff was his name), we stuck it out for far longer before Indian army showed up
- Then we built an air strip for Indian Army landing their Dakotas - Over night. It is a world record of civilians coming together and choosing sides
- They fought alongside the LEGENDARY Brig Priam Singh (read about battle of poonch), in a siege that almost lasted one year. The ONLY border that Kabailis could not penetrate was our border - because we had made our decision
- in 1965, my uncles climed along our fauji brothers and helped in capture of Haji Pir (which our stupid govt gave away, as, as usual we lost a lot of land in other areas)
- in 1971, we supported our army and held our ground. There were incursions in Chamb, rajasthan and our bois went in towards lahore... But on our border, we did not cede an inch, nor we ran away
Then i talk about my generation
- The first war we saw was the day I was born. Because on our border, firing happens daily
- I grew up playing volley ball and doing boring PT with 93 infantry brigade
- me and my brothers were proud members of National Civil defence team and village defence committee
- we stayed back in 1991 militancy and helped army - we did not leave our homes, did not ask for help from anyone else and were happy with our limited humble means
- we NEVER had ONE infiltration from our border, because we did not allow shelter to those terrorists. If we saw one, we killed one. We saw two, we killed two. We saw movement, we alerted our army
- When Kargil happened, we carried ammunition, food, guns up hills - 32kg packs to our beloved armed forces, who were defending our homes
- We also allowed army to fight and did the work of army horses, because they are easy targets and all posts on our borders are not even trekkable for mules
- i have pants in my home, that have bullet holes, while we jumped in river ravines to take cover from pakistan fire

I and my brothers worked hard, studied hard and got a chance to be a knowledge immigrant. I send more money home that you will earn for yourself. My family still lives on that border. I was home till last sunday and moved out on sunday to join work back and monday this decision was made.

Am a proud indian and I do not consider you worthwhile to tell you my religion, because you do not have the basic sensibility to judge a human being without the name of their religion. I am a son of 93 infantry brigade, which is lovingly knows as the Poonch brigade. Am son of soil from Poonch. I am not an arm chair critic. I have paid my dues, owe a lot to my motherland and will die a proud indian.

But.... none of that takes away my humble and strong belief in respecting basic human values. even if they don't agree with ours. Congress spoiled this state over 70 years and it cannot be changed overnight.

Everyone can get angry. face the real heat and to have the forgiveness is divine. I rest my humble case.

Jai Hind.

I understand your position. My comment was not meant to be a "personal attack" on you instead for the "brainwashed and manipulated majority acting under the clutches of the Pakistani proxies". And I do understand that it did not come out that way! My apologies.

My family has gone through similar experiences of 1965 and 1971 wars. One of the 51 POWs Pakistan held back in 1971 was my cousin. And today we still serve in all the three wings of the armed forces.

Bbc is saying its from saura in Kashmir,
The idiot sidhhartha vardharajan has written an article in the wire that nearly 15 children with pellet gun shot has been brought to the hospital and he has shared some pic too.
"in one incident the student were making bread in their shop then security personnel asked 'is this for kashniri people they should be given poison not bread'and shot in their eye"
We are not some banana republic where ppl get shot for fun
This idiot has tested my patience this madarjat was once with rajyasabha tv, the hindu and has usa citizenship.

We should bring him first rather than malya and impose all those sections like fomenting communal tensions, fake news, sedition.

He almost became editor of Hindu till his US citizenship became the issue. People like him are the perfect reason why there should be some accountability for media.

Soura is the Place of Raghoram who was supposed to be the father of Shaikh Abdullah. He was converted to Islam by a muslim maulvi. Shaikh Abdullah was born in this village as a brahmin and he also converted to Islam alongwith his father.

Kashmir Lockdown "Draconian", Says Editors Guild Of India: Full Statement

Please don't see this with any other angle than, those are our fellow citizens. we should know what is happening there. I might be a nut job, but the editors speaking up at least should give some credence to the fact that i am not being a total banana.

This is what it says on the EGI website "The Editors Guild was founded in 1978 with the twin objectives of protecting press freedom and for raising the standards of editorial leadership of newspapers and magazines."

Under normal circumstances, the Indian press is as free as in any other functioning democracy

However in circumstance of National Security of India, every such covert member of Urbal Naxals invoke their "rights" over the National Security of India.

He was the editor of The Hindu. Apparently, he was sacked coz like most commies, he was lazy, more prone to talking than actually delivering. The irony here is, of course, that N. Ram - a TamBrahm & commie himself didn't take too kindly to dropping circulation of the paper and read the riot act. Result - fellow TamBrahm & commie had to go.

It is a protocol around the world over to not allow anyone into Emergency Rooms, Operation Theatres and ICUs

STRICT WARNING

a. We try our best to not ban or issue warnings.
b. We edit and clean, to ensure people can vent a little.
c. We delete posts, after a few hours, which are of no value or repeats. This again is to ensure people vent their feelings.

What will not be tolerated is calling Indians traitors or non patriotic, because they do not agree with a given line of thought or have different political associations. Discuss, debate and put your points of view across in a civil manner.

There are a few Pakistani members on this forum. They have their points of view. Disprove their points of view with facts. Name calling will only prove one does not have a counter.

REPORT POSTS. There is a dedicated team (more committed by passion and a little less by time) working behind the scenes.

Help us keep this forum clean by having a dignified, educated and responsible discussion.
