Kuchay Yousuf

Kashmir,
08.04.2019

Dear Politician,
I was delighted to hear the news that you have started your POLITICAL RUX again & expected this time you will cross all barriers and boundaries to achieve your goal. I have heard from my ancesters when people agitated against the British rule and got freedom. Freedom was to restore the dignity, safety, tradition, culture and honour of people but your instincts were not good from the very begining where you divided the people in the name of region, religion, ethinicity and tribal grounds. The unity of people was broken. The integrity & communal hormony disintegrated. This resulted in the existance of two nations with the brutality of lacs of people during their settlement Aaar and Paar. This was a brutal game played and there is none example of such an event elsewhere in the world. Further the hunger was not quit resulted in the formation of the third nation with more brutality like the past.

You adopted the familyism for decades together. You were milching the national resources better on the behest of new developing nation. It is your greatness that you made yours rich and prosperous and gave several people a grace to alinate as leaders but none seem trustworthy and dedicated. If you don’t mind you are no more faithful to anyone. You married to many during certain intervals till date and now a days nobody can claim wholly and solly for your ownership. You are now fragmented. You have tied knots with many more thereby raising mushroom growths of new parties with the illusion of wearing the crown. You are describing yourself wearing the world’s number one democracy dress but could not retain the honour of the profounder of democracy. The dress of democracy sewn by Dr Ambedkar was as Holy as freedom, you polluted it with the colours of communal hatred, religious confrontation, regional disparity, kashmir blood, chatisgarh tension. neighbourhood anger, chores & chias, anger & unrest in youth, draconian laws, biased media, troublesome life hazards & with darkness all over. Thus have changed the mindset of all. The people are worried about future, harrased by the laws of land, afraid of our own people. You have made them agitation mooded, dependent on regionalism, religion biased, everybody thinking interms of his own benefit. The system is looking disintegrated and deserted now. May be certain happy & rich, enjoying on the behest of other’s blood & doubtful environ. But on the whole the system needs to be soft & marvelous for everybody everywhere.
The basic strong foundation of prevailing peace is to address the main issues responsible for all the ill maths of the system like Kashmir issue, Maoist issue, Babri Masjid case, cow slaughter & lynching case, Gowdhara episode & all such issues which erase the national integration character among all the people.
Nowadays your magic is again on show. Your Lal Dupata, cosmetic beauty & shiny hairs weaving and airing magic waves to which your lovers get entangled without caring of their future. Your magic beauty and character of richness & command, your disillusion for the crown has made all the emerged and emerging parties and candidates out of their guts to marry you anyway. They are all set to sacrifice all their relations with people, their trust, honesty, customs, ethos, brotherhood, religious fervour, sympathy and even humanity for your love. This is a tough time for innocents, minorities especially muslims, under privileged sections of people, lower castes, ethnic tribes where they get suffered a lot, ruined, crushed, lynched, devastated in the name of nation development and true nationalism. The law becomes lawless; justice becomes injustice when delayed to decades together, only super voices can speak while others made silent. Other products are awarded the trade name as anti nationals at an ease. The villains cry and buy people, innovate new tactics of bifurcation, expose the opponents, dramatise enough, sensitise religious hatredto get voters in your support.
The enough of waters have flown now. The people are aware of your bad politics now. They know your inner & outer well. The befooling tactics for SADAK, PANI & BIJLI has ended now. Employment for the youth is a dream now. Hollow slogans of employment generation, subsidy, bank balance, ration for one rupees per head, woman empowerment, bati bachav bati padhav, mun ki baat, dhan ki baat, goli say nahi boli say, rehabilitation and many more slogans will not work now. Dedication, faith & trust, open heartedness, love for all people, self lessness, patriotism, love for humanity, realising and accepting the actual facts of any conflict or problem, resource management and giving innovative ways of success and prosperity, respect for law and justice and respect for democracy and the constitution in real sense are some of the ways to have prosperous, peaceful, and successful living of the people.
Dear politician, you may not be angry with me even if I may be wrong. Hope this time you may not make up your face with artificial cosmetics. Come with your natural and sincere face and clear heart because the people have suffered a lot. I am profusely concerned for the reason……what will be our story to tell to the future generation who expect much more from us. We might be ashamed to tell them about the Rux of blood shedding, bombings, devastating fires, hartals, road blockages, crack downs, pelets, stone peltings, night raids, PSAs, CASO, sleepless nights and much more…… ….
I am ashamed how can i tell them the story of this RUX with relation to the 21st century of modern democratic ERA.
MAY PEACE PREVAIL….& …..PEOPLE BE HAPPY ENOUGH…!
