I was recently aboard a truck coming from Machil(Kupwara)and going towards Sogam when we were stopped in the Lolab area by a group of children aged between approx 13 and 16 asking for a ride to Baramullah, Our driver who knows the area like the back of his hand stopped and asked them to get in, they were 7 in total and boarded the truck from the back as the driver had in the morning unloaded a consignment in Khanchakh and therefore the truck was empty. Now you may be wondering what the hell was I doing in Machil(A remote border village), I was there to get information on how the Indian SLUMMIES recently martyred 3 more innocent civilian Kashmiris and then passed them off as foreign mercenaries trying to cross the line of control.READ THE STORY HERE
Trying to get myself out of the deep melancholy that had settled upon my being ever since I saw those mothers weeping for their sons in Machil, I struck a chord with one of the boys aged 13 and started to exchange pleasantries with him. What follows now is a snippet of our conversation. I have however changed his name for the sake of human dignity and protection from Indian Slummies.
Me: "So Ahmed why are you going to Baramullah?, you should be at School right now and not having a joy ride to Baramullah??"
Ahmed:"I stopped going to School 3 years ago".
Me: "And why did you stop, you dumb-lazy head"
Ahmed: "Cause the Indian army killed my father and I had to support the family".
Me: "Oh!! Inna Lillahe wa inna illaihi rajiun, why did they kill your father??"
Ahmed: "Nothing, he just had to die, that's it....".
Me: "I am sorry, it's alright if you don't wanna talk about it".
Ahmed: "Well!!!"(Slight hesitation), "my mother was pregnant with my young sister and the labour pains started about 7 in the night, the pregnancy was complicated and therefore she was being treated at District hospital Baramullah, in order to get there you have to go through the LOLAB TIGERS ARMY CAMP and they usually do not let any civilian vehicular traffic pass after 6 PM. My father was trying to negotiate with an army officer that his wife was in serious trouble and that he should be allowed to pass. The army officer would have nothing of it and slapped him in his face, my father who was a docile school teacher could take it no more and called the army officer an Indian bastard. The officer took out his gun and shot him dead on the spot. He was branded as a militant trying to attack the camp and the matter dismissed".
Me: "Oh Ahmed", "my brother I am so sorry, don't know what to say.....just cannot even come close to the anguish you must be going through".
Ahmed: "Its all right, I don't feel anything now".
Me: "So, what do you do nowadays??".
Ahmed: "I help in the packaging of apples at an orchard in Baramullah, earn about 80 rupees a day".
Me: "Is that enough???"
Ahmed: "Its very meager but what choice do I have??","I have to feed my brothers and sisters, don't I??"
Me: "How is your mother coping with all this??"
Ahmed: (With a desolate glance at the mountains) "She died in childbirth","My baby sister was brought home by the driver of the vehicle which was carrying my parents".
Chinaar,
ReplyDeleteI am crying with anger. I cannot take it anymore. Opression is so deep rooted that coming home back safely and in full in the evening is a miracle of sorts in Kashmir. I was myself harassed and tortured by a police officer recently to the extent that I wept profusely on my helplessness. Allah watches over them. Insa-Allah we will get our freedom soon.
I will publish this story in the every possible forum Insh-Allah.
sad, gruesome and I say a PLAGUE on the house of INDIANS.

I am amazed at how Indians look at our tragedies, they have slaughtered our children, women and youths n yet speak from a high horse, what else can u expect from Indians who demarcate n subjugate even their own people on the basis of caste n creed.
ReplyDeleteNo thousands of pandits were slaughtered, read govt of Indias official statements on number of kashmiri hindus killed which is approx 320 vis a vis muslims which is above 120,000......get some sense into your head n then talk to us
@ Hindu Fundamentalists/Hindu Fascists and Related sycophants...
