Yes, lynching a new deadly combination of alphabets is introduced in the democratic secular dictionary of India and recently in Kashmir also. In 2015 it comes in the light with Dadri incident when Aqhlak was lynched by bhagwa brigade over the rumor of carrying beef with him. After that more than 20 such incidents are recorded till now. State media showed it as they felt necessary, scripted and in few cases broken and edited stories as per their benefits. Anyhow the thing that is to be worried is that it has happened and is continue till now.
It is very unfortunate that we are forgetting that we are human first. Politicians, media or be it common mass everyone is looking for an opportunity on such incidents to establish their interests.
A woman got raped in a moving train and the headlines read as “ Muslim women on fast raped by a Hindu constable” think for a while isn’t she a human first and isn’t the rapist an animal in clothes? Why this Hindu-Muslim. Between this Hindu-Muslim we forget we are human first.
In just 10 days Kashmir lost 20 youths including top police officials, calculate how many of them were shot dead by the army and how many by Kashmirs them selves? is this kashmiriat?
COW and AAZADI are becoming more important than human beings these days. I wonder how animals in human clothes dare such incidents that too on the name of religion, which never taught such actions. Even loin and Tigers also don’t kill members of their community how do we?
Kashmir the night of forgiveness, and an officer on duty was lynched by the goons, who for their parents are at Jamia Masjid to offer prayers. Is this what Islam taught us. But unfortunately when you try to raise a voice or oppose such actions you will be flooded with the comments like where were you when ADC killed XYZ or XYZ killed ABC? What does that mean if they had you to will kill your brother? And maybe at that point of time, I had compromised with my concise but not every time.
Almost all national TV channels aired debates on the killing of DySP but they forget to mention about the 15-year boy who had gone on shopping for Eid, why this? Is this the way of work of the third pillar of democracy?
In just 10 days Kashmir lost 20 youths including top police officials, calculate how many of them were shot dead by the army and how many by Kashmirs them selves? is this kashmiriat?
The religion in which being vegetarian is propagated how come it allows the killing of humans? A religion which says “if you killed a human killed whole of the humanity” how came it allowed lynching of an officer on duty for their protection or I never mind to say he was on jihad (risking one’s life for earning a livelihood for the family is also jihad) and they martyred him. This proves that this human-like faced animals in clothes had no religion. They just look like humans.
We also had a second quality of such elements, they are not seen in mobs but are very active behind the walls, they celebrate over the coffins of others. For Kashmir cause, they are all away from Kashmir except few faces.
I beg to the future of Kashmir for sake of your old parents just read your religious scriptures once before indulging in such activities and follow accordingly.I am quite sure you will bring change. Let’s not make this word more common now.
