Sunaina Malik
First of all let's pay homage to the
departed souls of our two Indian
Army Captains and three Para Commandos, who have lost their precious lives, in a Fidayeen attack in Pulwama district of south Kashmir. After this, let's ponder over, what they would be doing, a couple of minutes back, when they got the information that Fidayeen have entered inside the building of Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI)? Perhaps some of them might be doing some official work, perhaps some of them might be preparing for field duty, perhaps some of them might be thinking to apply for leave application, perhaps some of them might be happy to meet his family after a long time as his leave application has been approved by his senior official, but to their bad luck all their dreams meet a catastrophic end under this terrorist attack. Here I want to say that, if some one kills a person, it does not mean that he kills one person but it means he kills the adoring husband of a wife, he kills the dreams of a mother, he kills the support of a father, he kills the security of children, he kills the inspiration of a brother, he kills the proud of a sister and over all he kills the affectionate mortal of God, which I think God in no case would have permitted so. Almighty has bent us to adore, esteem, honour, assist and sustain each other but not to odium and slaughter each other.
Our state J&K has been witnessing the bloody episode of killing of Armed personnel along with innocent civilians since the onset of insurgency. As per the written records nearly 5462 Army Personnel and 47000 civilians have sacrificed their inestimable life for the safety and security of our state. The most unfortunate effect of terrorism in our state is the displacement of our Kashmiri Pandits breathern from their mother land Kashmir (which they would not have even thought in their dreams). Due to Sangrampora massacre(1997) in which 7 KPs were killed and Wandhama massacre(1998), in which 24 KPs were brutally murdered, nearly170000 to 700000 KPs (pride of Kashmir) were displaced from their homes, their gardens , their fields and their heaven on earth. Other incidents which has shaken the people of state from with in, were the twin attacks by suicide bombers on Ragunath temple in Ragunath bazaar jammu on 30th march 2002 and 24 Nov. 2002 respectively. In both the attacks many devotees have lost their lives and lots of them got grave injuries. In count to this, these two incidents have also torn the feel of communal harmony of our people from with in.
At present when the countries like U.S and China, which have already reached at the level of developed countries, still struggling tough to make their countries more prosperous and to make the life standard of their natives more luxuries. But we people are combating, blaming and carnage each other. Un ending ambiance of terrorism incessantly pushing our expansion far far back then the developed countries. Having their pockets filled with money, people of developed countries, direct their mind towards inventing new machines and technologies. But our life revolves around Roti, Kapra aur Makan then Dukan and then Kabrastan. At this point of jiffy my heart is howling with questions like
When will utmost impediment of progress in the form of terrorism end?
When will tranquility and opulence knock every door in our state?
When will their be jobs in every home?
When will their be adequate Roti, Kapra aur Makan?
When will we also live comfy life like people of developed countries?
When will our child mind will be towards inventions and discoveries rather then towards guns and bullets?
When will effect of terrorism utterly fade from the minds and even from the dreams of natives of J&K?
In the end I would like to say that it is not the land and ego, but it is the life which matters. Life is most precious reward of God, so we must not make fun of this blessing by idly annihilating it.
