"तू थकेगा न कभी
तू थमेगा न कभी
तू मुड़ेगा न कभी
कर शपथ! कर शपथ! कर शपथ!

वृक्ष हों भले खड़े
हों घने, हों बड़े
एक पत्र छाँह भी
मांग मत! मांग मत! मांग मत!

यह महान दृश्य है
चल रहा मनुष्य है
अश्रु-स्वेद-रक्त से
लथ-पथ! लथ-पथ! लथ-पथ!"

GOOSEBUMPS.

Remember the name. Narendra Damodardas Modi. #Article370

To the people of Kashmir: Seize this incredible moment in History. Love India, just as India loves you.

Light a diya, not a Molotov.

This week-old Kashmiri baby, rescued by the Indian Armed Forces in the nick of time, is now five.

To all those preparing to fight a futile battle, and to all those egging them on, look at her before you pick up that stone. Think of her future, if not of yours.

This Gazette notification, setting in stone the abolition of Article 370, must have been deliberated for weeks, actualised in indecipherable legalise, and a thousand copies printed. And yet not a single journalist - not one - got wind of it.

When Indians want it, they can do it.

Unhinged display of communal bigotry by Farooq Abdullah. [This was back in April.]

"They want to abolish #Article370. We dare them. Allah would want that we gain independence from India."

Let there be absolutely NO doubt that he, and others like him, want Kashmir to burn.

INDIA IS FOR ALL, screams Farooq Abdullah today and the media goes mushy.

THIS is what he was screaming a few months ago: They think they will get Indians to Kashmir and settle them here. They think they will reduce OUR NUMBER. And we'll remain silent? INSHALLAH we will fight.

FINALLY, the crown of India is without thorns. Finally.

#Article370Scrapped

Death threats, beating trigger mass exodus of migrants from Kashmir. A vital ground-report by @rahulpandita.

Rahul will be attacked for this. The Indian media doesn't want exoduses from Kashmir to be reported; it runs against the victimhood propaganda. openthemagazine.com/special/death-…

A GUT-WRENCHING exposition by Dr @RatanSharda55, of the HAVOC wreaked by Articles 370 and 35A, on Dalits, Gurkhas, Refugees, and Women of Kashmir.

This article HAS to be read, and those who read it HAVE to feel ASHAMED that they were silent all through. newsbharati.com/Encyc/2019/8/9…

For seventy years, rights of Dalits, women, refugees, and Gurkhas, virulently trampled upon and squashed in Kashmir - Democracy is alive.

For seven days phone networks disabled - Democracy is dead.

Meet 19 year-old Dalit Radhika Gill. Her family was brought to Kashmir to work as sweepers in 1957. Radhika cleared the BSF entrance exam. Radhika is also a top athlete. But Radhika CAN ONLY GET A JOB AS A SWEEPER. Because of 370 and 35A.

SHAME on those who support 370 and 35A.

Meet 21 year-old Dalit Eklavya. A Kashmiri belonging to the Valmiki community. Eklavya is a BRILLIANT student. A topper, he is a postgraduate in political science. But Eklavya CAN ONLY GET A JOB AS A SWEEPER. Because of 370 and 35A.

SHAME on those who support 370 and 35A.

Radhika's dad; his tears finally washing away DECADES of cruelty. Harrowing moment captured by @PoojaShali.

“The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends toward justice,” said Dr King.

It did bend. And yet, there are some men & women who want to look away. SHAME on them.

Meet Sagar Sahi. A PROUD Gurkha whose ancestors were brought to Kashmir to fight the invaders. Sahi won a GOLD MEDAL in the Commonwealth Fencing Championships. Sahi applied for a job in J&K Police. Sahi was REJECTED because of 370 and 35A.

SHAME on those who support 370 and 35A.

"We are victims of social & economic discrimination. We have become bonded labourers in the State, confined to watchman duty, a slavery of a sort."

Heart-rending story of the 100,000-strong FORGOTTEN Gurkhas of Jammu & Kashmir. They can FINALLY celebrate. spotlightnepal.com/2019/08/12/gor…

“I have walked on dead bodies."

Meet Melu Ram, one of 150,000 West Pakistan refugees settled in Jammu & Kashmir. Melu Ram is STILL a refugee, BARRED from local govt jobs, welfare schemes. Because of 370 and 35A.

SHAME on those who support 370 and 35A. theguardian.com/world/2017/aug…

Meet 29 year-old Aijaz Bund. Dr Bund is the ONLY man in Kashmir publicly fighting for LGBTQ rights. But THOUSANDS of Kashmiri homosexuals cannot DARE to be as open - the RPC version of IPC Sec 377 is STILL valid. Because of 370 and 35A.

SHAME on those who support 370 and 35A.

Pathetic PROPAGANDA by @BBCWorld. 8:30 am Headlines: We have unearthed allegations of brutal torture by the Indian Army in Kashmir.

Out of a population of 12 MILLION, the BBC interviews TWO men. Worse, it DOES NOT verify their claims. One of them is the brother of a terrorist.

Kashmir: A Peep into the Future. A discussion on the road ahead after the abrogation of Article 370, with Lt Gen @atahasnain53 PVSM, Dr @abunouman, and Dr @MD_Nalapat, at the @mlrlitfest.

Kashmir is not 'normal'. And thank god for that.

Opening comments as part of the panel discussing 'The abrogation of Article 370 and what it means for Kashmiriyat' at @arth_live.

The Maths teacher miscalculated.

He thought the Indian army forgives and forgets. N. E. V. E. R.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #IndiaAvengesHandwara

Orphaned no more. Children of Dalits, Gurkhas, Refugees - discriminated for 70 years by those who claim to defend social justice, will now get domicile status.

FINALLY, the crown of India is without thorns.

#KashmirOpenedForAll

Kashmir has been turned to a Snakes and Ladders game. The ladders are provided by Pakistan and the snakes by Indians.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar. #IndiaVsTraitors

Those asking the world to take notice of the Syrian boy today turn their eyes away from the Sopore boy as It doesn’t fit their narrative of a kashmir brutalised not by Islamists but by the fascist Hindutva state.

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar.

Just how much of a MANIAC do you have to be to nudge a traumatised 3 year-old until you hear what you want to? And just how much of PSYCHOPATH do you have to be to then peddle it as a reliable witness statement? 

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar.

Such good news. The Gorkha community, discriminated for 70 years because of Articles 370 and 35A, their human rights ignored by the very politicians and activists who supposedly fight to uphold them, now getting Kashmir domicile status in their droves.
m.timesofindia.com/india/many-ret…

As Indians celebrate the first anniversary of the abrogation of Article 370, NEVER forget how those who claim to fight for Dalit rights ignored the plight of Radhika and a million oppressed like her.

But Truth and Justice need no allies. They sparkle in the eyes of Radhika Gill.

They call Kashmir the Switzerland of the East. WRONG. It is the Srebrenica of the East.

And Jammu would be no different. It is, for the Islamists, Dar-ul-Harb.

#JKHindusCheated

Kashmiris are not special; they are like the rest of us. Four reasons why It was legally and morally right to abrogate Article 370 and 35A.

#ModiTestsRahul

Dear @narendramodi. The talks and negotiations would go smooth if you remember just one thing: any new step or policy that the Abdullahs welcome, would be a step or policy AGAINST the interests of India.

That's it. That's all you need to remember.

The intelligence agencies point to a concerted effort to transform Kashmir into an Islamic State with the help of the Taliban. But as I explain here, it was the genocidal Geelani's dream to make Kashmir an Islamic State.

My views on #HinduphobiaNote.

On the recent happenings in Kashmir, with @RShivshankar.

We need to learn from Israel, to never buckle under or bow down to terrorism or their apologists. We need to operate from a position of strength not weakness.
