Jammu, Mar 21: The perverted and anti-Dogra author of obnoxious essay "Sale of Kashmir: A day we want to forget" further wrote: "The Treaty (of Amritsar) was enforced by the British arms. It was only when British troops along with Sikh forces marched to the Valley that Immamudin (Governor of Kashmir) surrendered and the (sic) Gulab Singh was installed as the new ruler. It may not look surprising then that a century later, in 1946, Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah proudly recalled Immamudin's revolt in the court where he was tried for sedition charges for launching the Quit Kashmir movement (against Jammu and Dogras) which challenged the very basis of the Treaty and, hence, the moral right if the Dogras to rule over Kashmir".
He further wrote: "Dogra's (read Dogras) tried to legitimize their rule on the strength of the British might and their Hindu-ness and pushed entire Muslim population in the Valley into a position of exclusion and disadvantage in almost all spheres of political, social and economic life. Even their British masters felt ashamed. Colonel Ralph Young visited Kashmir in 1867. As he traveled along the road to Srinagar, he found 'that it had all been once under cultivation but it is now desolate. Certainly the country is not now flourishing'.
However, more accurate and outspoken was a real humanist, Robert Thorp (read a highly biased Briton). He openly held British responsible to 'the people whom it sold into the slavery of Gulab Singh'. He described Kashmiris 'whose characteristics (both intellectual and moral) give evidence of former greatness, trampled upon by a race in every way inferior to themselves (read an affront to the self-respect of the Jammu Dogras) and steadily themselves and bars the way to all improvement, whether social, intellectual or religious".
The author of the nasty anti-Dogras essay did not stop just there. He further wrote: "Dogra regime, having tasted a crushing defeat at the very outset (absolutely wrong), made it a point to crush the virility of the descendents of Lalitadetya (Lalitaditya was not a Kashmiri) and Sultan Shahabudin. Not only were they literally unarmed and banned from joining Army, but even mimic fighting solely for the purpose of entertainment was strictly prohibited. Jawaharlal Nehru was aware of all this as he arranged the defence of Sheikh Abdullah along with Asif Ali (another Congress leader) in a sedition case for launching Quit Kashmir Movement, but out of political arrogance, he wrote to a proud Abdullah on August 25, 1952, that Kashmiris are 'not what are called a virile people. They are soft and addicted to easy living'. (What Asif Ali wrote was expected of him.) Tale piece: Neither the Congress's Quit India resolution nor the Muslim League's Pakistan resolution forms part of the lore of Kashmir's freedom movement. The two events which stir a Kashmiri are Martyr's Day of July 13 and Quit Kashmir, the roots of both lie in the Treaty of Amritsar. It needs open mindedness and some sense of past to understand that".
What does the authors of "Revisiting the Treaty of Amritsar" and "Sale of Kashmir: The day we want to forget" actually suggest? They suggested that they and their ilk in Kashmir, including those who control the ruling National Conference, have contempt for Dogras of Jammu. They condemn Dogra and the Treaty of Amritsar, but they do not say that Jammu province should go out of the State. They pour venom on Dogras but they want to grab their motherland, Jammu province, which is rich in green gold and rich in other natural resources, including precious water and minerals. They abuse Dogras, but they have fixed their evil eyes on the resource-rich Jammu province.
It must remain a matter of shame that they are so irrational, biased, subjective, cunning, ungrateful and greedy. They would do well to ensure segregation of Kashmir from Jammu and Ladakh. Even otherwise, time has come for permanent separation of Jammu and Ladakh from Kashmir which houses the likes of these two perverted Kashmiri writers. (Concluded) |
