For once, can we humanize them? Can we protect their dignity and theEnglishdignity of their families? Can the judiciary of J & K function without being manipulatedby New Delhi and its minions? New Delhi doesn't waste a minute when it comes toAds by Googleprotecting its lackeys, paramilitary troops, counter insurgency forces, co-opted War in Iraqmilitants, co-opted regional political players, but the 'impeccable' demeanor of NewDelhi is exposed as a fa�§ade when it comes to protecting the dignity of Kashmiriswhose only subsistence is unflinching faith and unrequited hope. The variousgovernmental agencies involved in the investigation of the Shopian tragedy have castdoubts on the veracity of the findings of independent commissions/ organizations. The inferences drawn by the CBI vis-à-vis the deaths of the two young women in Shopian have generated questions that didn't exist earlier. Is New Delhi attempting to legitimizethe non-performance of the government of J & K in the wake of the Shopian tragedy? Isthe CBI lending sanctity to the doleful apathy of the state government in the aftermathof the protests engendered by the deaths of Asiya and Neelofar? Have mainstreampolitical organizations that are exploiting the loss of these two women to their politicaladvantage lost credibility now that a 'highly reputable' investigative agency ispublicizing the deaths of Asiya and Neelofar as 'unfortunate drowning accidents'? Thesequestions remain unanswered. New Delhi, however, has succeeded in reinforcing thehostile factionalism in Kashmiri society; the in-bred hatred and festering doubt thatentrenches divisiveness more deeply; the culpable gender violence that gets put on theback burner; the indebtedness of regional political players to New Delhi; the brusquedismissal of the hopes of our younger generation.Posted on 21 Dec 2009 by Webmaster� All Rights Reserved | Kashmir Watch Copyrights © 2003-2009, Email: editor@kashmirwatch.com Site Designed & Developed By Abdul Ghani .
