Just heard a song on Kashmir's Azadi(freedom).
These individuals are really passionate and motivated about their
Azadi. Indeed they have been brainwashed about the so called Azadi or
Freedom. Freedom from whom? India is already a free democratic country
and every person is free to do his work, business, fight elections and
do anything he wants if it is not illegal. There is the entire legal,
law enforcement and justice system which
gives you freedom from crime. You have TV, friends and Social Media
which gives you freedom from boredom. You have free education, books,
food and even uniform for children which even gives you freedom from
ignorance and illiteracy. Although there is a lot of corruption, but we
all are hoping that food and health security comes which means Azadi
from hunger and diseases. From whom else you need Azadi? Separatist
groups in Kashmir, Assam, Punjab, Manipur, Tripura and almost all North
Eastern states are fighting for Aazadi. Is it not a foolish demand? How
can a sane person even think that the Govt. will agree to their illegal
and treacherous demands? Even if the Govt. agrees to them, what next?
Every state will start demanding Aazadi. Let us imagine that all the
states get seceded and claim themselves as free nations. What will these
free nations do when all Districts (which will become states after
Azadi) again demand for a similar Aazadi which their predecessors are
demanding now. Can Kashmir give an Azad Leh, Azad Ladakh, Azad Rajouri,
Azad Poonch, Azad Udhampur etc.? Can Assam give an Azad Dibrugarh,
Sibsagar, Cachar etc? Ok say they agree to these demands as well? What
if every city within them demand a similar kind of freedom? There are
thousands of cities and towns in India. Can each of them be a separate
nation with their own, PM, president and parliament? What if after that
every other lane demands Aazadi and then the feeling of Aazadi trickles
down to every house and individual? Will it not be a funny situation to
be in. Every house will sing songs of Aazadi passionately demanding a
separate nation of 4 or 5 people. Is this feasible? So any demand of
Aazadi should not be legal and should be termed as treason or sedition
by the Govt. to bring an Anarchy to the entire democratic structure of
the nation.
1 more question I want to ask to people of the likes of Prashant Bhushan who say that a referendum should be organized for the people of Kashmir to find out if they want Azadi. I would ask him a few questions:-
1. How can he seek opinion of people on an seemingly illegal demand. Can you create a referendum such as How about removing taxation? Nobody wants taxation but can that be removed? Can you create a referendum on distributing all the wealth and land in the nation equally amongst all? All the people who are poor which is of course a majority in India will agree to this but the rich would not. So how can he ask the opinion of the people of a state on whether they want to secede?
2. There has been an immense demographic change in Kashmir since the last few centuries. I would not talk on detail about this as everyone knows how the Kashmiri Pandits were chased out. So does this mean the minority opinion makes no sense? Will you not consider the opinion of the minority who do not want a separate Kashmir because they know that they will be killed the next day Kashmir is separated?
3. Who decides the area of a referendum? Kashmir belongs to India and if a referendum has to be done, every Indian should vote in it. How did Mr. Bhushan decide that only those living in Kashmir get the right to vote? The same thing happened in Sylette District of Assam when Gopinath Bordoloi agreed for a referendum of the most prosperous district in Assam at that time which was the hub of education, commerce and industry. India lost the prosperous district to Bangladesh, just for a small margin. Had all the people of Assam or India got the chance to vote for the fate of Sylette, it would have been a part of Assam and India today.
Let us all Indians get together to fight separatism and try to spread Nationalism among our fellow citizens who have strayed to the wrong path. Let us not tolerate any anti national comments or movements. Jai Hind.
