Hi Aakash Hassan,
This is in response to your article ‘WHY ARE KASHMIRI MUSLIM NOMADS BEING EVICTED” dated Nov 20, 2020; https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/20/tribal-community-face-eviction-from-forests-in-kashmir, I decided to reply you as I have been noticing your network’s continuous rant against India and especially on our Kashmir.
I would have loved to ignore you as being a network working from Qatar which is essentially has state religion and does not believe in democracy so you did not even stand a chance to lecture us on our democracy and freedom. But I realized that you are being followed by members of your religion outside India and thus damaging India’s reputation. Though these people who follow you just do it because they think you and they are following same religion makes them obligatory to read you and follow blindly.
To start with, your network and in this case you – always refer the democratically elected Government of India as a HINDU NATIONALIST PARTY. There is no point of me explaining you and your ilk the meaning of HINDU as you and they look the world from their own lens. You all being subjected to a particular way of living under a particular religion feel that whole world is like that and especially India. So, do come out of this phobia as you are insulting the world’s largest democratic process.
Hence, do refer next time us as Government of India because they represent all the section of society in India. It’s not like only one particular community is represented as in your country’s case. Also, hope while exporting goods worth of USD 12.3 bn and importing a fraction of USD 1.5 bn to same India you did not objected and labeled Indians like that.
Now coming to your and all of your kind’s favorite topic ie Kashmir. It was just that a false narrative which was set by world powers for their benefit so they kept on hiding the truth under the carpet. Now, since their motive is almost finished so even they are agreeing to our facts. But to make you understand it is like 88% of current outsiders living in Qatar asking for their claim over the country – I doubt you will accept that so similarly we do not accept when Pakistanis came rushing into our land and occupying it. Kashmir is an integral part of India and will remain so. Period.
Apart from this it is so amazing how you propagate your false narrative as well.
1) Your network always reports that internet / communication is not working thus keeping the population out of reach from the rest of the world. Now, did you travelled all the way from Qatar to India and then to Kashmir during this pandemic or you got the report and twitted video through some one using internet. So, as said before – think before reporting.
2) Your subject in this report is:
a) Over sized obese person, claiming to be poor Muslim but having 2.5 acre of land, rearing about thousands of goats, kids going to school (of course the education/business opportunity being provided by Government of India). So as said before – think before reporting.
b) He is complaining about the Government because he has to leave the encroached part of land which does not belong to him. He is confirming that others are also asked to do so but he is complaining because he think he is being stand out due to his religion. Is there any other community in Kashmir Valley right now apart from Muslims. So, those others also belong to his religion but you are not reporting that. Can a Qatari encroach illegally in Qatar?? So as said before – think before reporting.
c) You are reporting how a political party is changing the demography of Muslim-majority area. How this area became Muslim-only…..did you ever report exodus of more than half-a-million Kashmiri Pundits from the valley. How they were tortured/killed in late 1980s. So as said before – think before reporting.
d) Even the photo looks morphed and not part in Kashmir – if that so then as said before – think before reporting.
