		<description>Kashmir is an integral part of India. We will have kashmir with or without kashmiri men. Kashmiris need to decide if they want to live then they live like good citizens of india or die and go to jannat. What are butchers of thousands of kashmiri pandits, killers of pandit children seeking sympathy for? You will now get paid in your own bucket of violence.</description>

		<description>Dear Indians,

If Kashmir is an integral part of India, how come only 45% of J&amp;K State is under India. What has Govt of India done to rgain the other 55% of J&amp;K? Nothing..Cause if they start doing anything, it will have to leave this 45% as well. It is like if you find two notes of Rs500
on the road and you pick up one note.When you were about to pikc up the other note, someone already picked up. Now you are happy with the one note cause you got it illegaly.Similarly,India did not do anything to regain the other half. That is because it knows if it tries any action,either polotical or millatry,there will be question mark on its claim over Kashmir. How many people in India know that United Nations Military Observers have a big office in the heart of Srinagar.They are not in Mumbai,bangalore, Delhi, Bihar. You have educate your country men that Kashmir is a disputed territory. I am not opposing any Kashmiri or Dogra be hold the opinion that Kashmir SHOULD be a part of India. But let us excercise this right of choice. If India has taken right measure to win the hearts and minds of Kashmiris for the last 60 yrs, probably the chances are that India will get full control of 100% Kashmir as opposed to current 45%.(Keep in mind,arrest of Sheikh Abdullah in 1953,installation of puppet Govt in Kashmir, replacement of Prime Ministership to chief Ministership in 1964,Unilateral decission of dilution of Article 370,military rule, more than 100 thousands innocents deaths by Indian forces (My three cousins included),rapes,custodial deaths,economic degradation,infrastructure, NO POWER, Indus water treaty, only to name a few)...

		<description>Dear Sir,

It is sad that such biased articles ever get into prominence.   Myra and Pankaj make no mention of half million Kashmiri Hindus who were ethnically cleansed and living in sub-human homes for 18 years.  Have they ever visited those camps and knew what it is like living there, driven out of your home and raising generations of children in sub-human conditions.  

This is not journalism, it is propaganda?   I wonder if the same journalists can walk freely in Pakistan making such statements about Islam?  It is better the sooner the world get rid of such journalistic trash.

Regards,
Hindu Human Rights Watch</description>

		<description>Myra,

I&#039;m not calling for the trifurcation of the state. Just a bifurcation. Let &quot;Jammu and Ladakh&quot; remain one state. 
Also, it will be neither a religious division nor an ethnic one. I&#039;m just saying that the Kashmir Valley should be separated and granted more autonomy as that is the only part of the state where there is a separatist tendency.

I agree that the philosophy of the Deobandis and Wahhabis might be similar but in fact they are two independant schools of thought. One originated in Deoband, Uttar Pradesh, the other in Saudi Arabia. Both are Islamic revivalist movements. 
Deobandi did not start as an opposition to Sufism (Wahhabism did). It started as an opposition to British rule as they believed that Islam was falling behind as a result of Westernization. The Deobandis are followers of Sufism:

		<description>Dear Indians please answer mourners cries
Courtesy Raising Kashmir local daily
Srinagar, Sep 06: Asiya has dagger in heart. Not just for her elder brother fell to Police bullets outside his home, but also for his last wish – Javed Iqbal requested his sister to make custard (Firni) for Iftaar (to break holy fast) . 
Myane Bayo…yita wael wael, firni ha chai tayar (O my brother…come soon the custard is ready) Asiya cried mournfully appearing to believe that Javed will come to taste the recipe she had lovingly prepared for him.  
Javed was eldest of the 46-year-old Mehmooda’s two sons and a daughter. 

While Asiya regrets for not offering her brother his favorite recipe, Mehmooda too is broken and her cries suggest she was waiting with dates and milk to offer a wholesome breakfast (in the evening during Ramadan) to her beloved son.
Javaid, a Taxi driver by profession, is known among his friends for his liking toward snooker.  
Javed had only this morning returned from a Jammu trip.
Relatives said Javaid used to help his father Abdul Majeed, a fruit seller. Majid is unable to speak. .“The biggest tragedy in a father’s life is to attend the funeral of his young son, sighed a neighbor who was trying to console Majeed.
 But Javed’s mother displays belief in the life hereafter: His sacrifice will not go waste and said, His blood will fetch results for the nation.
Riyaz younger brother of Javaid was unable to speak and was just gazing at the bullet-ridden body of his elder brother.
He was just answering the slogans raised during the funeral. Shaheed Ki Jo Moot Hai - Woh Qoum Ki Hayat Hai (Death of a martyr ensures life of a nation).</description>
