Pear trade in J&K is worth Rs 200 crore, but owing to the curbs in place this year, growers have been able to sell them for just 12.5% of the usual price.
In Episode 1544 of CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta looks at some top economists pointing to the pitfalls of ‘currency nationalism’ with data from 1991 to 2004.
Among 19 Indian firms sanctioned by US Treasury Dept was Lokesh Machines Ltd accused of coordinating with 'Russian defence procurement agent to import Italy-origin CNC machines'.
While we talk much about our military, we don’t put our national wallet where our mouth is. Nobody is saying we should double our defence spending, but current declining trend must be reversed.
Don’t talk about bplebiscite now, many countries and many states will break if we start taking opinions of people now. Over the past few hundred years Pandits and other Hindus were converted, killed and forced to leave their mother land, also increase population by population growth. Who was ruling Kashmir at the time of accession to India? Who were living in Kashmir for the past 1000s of years and who were ruling Kashmir. Most of this who say Kashmiris neither speak Kashmiri nor have Kashmiri culture.
Imran, you are looking it in such a small way that I am surprised. The situation is not so simple to solve. This is not the right platform to discuss but I can talk for hours on this subject. The complexities vary from point to point and situations change consistently.
What starts basis some reason changes while time passes. The actual cause and reasons diminish and take a new form. Kashmir was the most peaceful place in India. When our neighbour helped some corrupt minds in Kashmir with arms and ammunition the process of turning a heaven into hell started.
Further doing a plebiscite at this time is insane. Kids born after 1990 have just seen bloodshed and nothing good. We need to give at least a decade free of terror to Kashmir and then get a plebiscite done because at that time only will it be wise.
Plebsite at this time shall mean chaos and contradiction.
Today people express what is favorable for their existence. In the contemporary world which is the age of Anti-Christ, Appearances and Realities differ from each other. The minds are locked down and people have lost the capacity to think.
This guy has a superficial understanding of Insurgency and it’s nuances. He only knows nitty gritty of the Kashmir quagmire. (Framework is utmost when one deals with any investigation).
I fear the worst is still in the offing. I also fear that spark has been neglected, the burning of House is inevitable.
May Lord save us.
Terrorists are getting weapons and ammunition from outside of country, and may be 10% snatched from Security forces.
If both Pakistan and China are made to pay for supporting terrorism there will be peace in Kashmir. All terrorism has some support from vested interest else can’t survive.
Pakistan will go begging but won’t give up supporting terrorist.
And as usual a Pakistani general working as part time opinion journalist, trying to hint the misdid by terrorist (they are not militent).
There was never a better way to mass broadcast and still hide behind the curtain of press.
The argument is indeed agitating, not the expression though. Abusage and frequent solecism detract from the frame of reference , implore decoction from the outliers, and wind up as semblances in a session of imperfections, sour taste in mouth.
If this was truly grassroots intelligence, it should mention what the true citizens want. We all want kashmiris like the rest of the world to live a happy life!
I think the true point of this matter is the people of Kashmir who are legal occupiers of the land, they need to determine what they want for their future and their land.
Why not just hold a plebiscite agree to its results and let everyone live in peace. Thats the true democratic option, not this whole non-sense of blaming others. There is no point in creating decades of unnecessary friction.
No, we don’t want a plebiscite when your minds are corrupted by Islam. Do you realize the islamic prophet was a paedophile? Don’t you understand that islamic terrorism is a grave threat to humanity? How can islamic mentality be trusted?
You are right, we are lucky that ppl of great Nation elected Modiji and he saved Kashmir from becoming a radicalised Islamic state otherwise Nehru had ensured that decades ago………
Modiji is correcting the Blunders of Nehru chacha
Plebiscite should definitely be held in Kashmir, not just Indian Kashmir but in the entire Princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, including POK, Gilgit-Baltistan, Sakshgam Valley and Aksai Chin.
For that to happen the very first condition set by UN should be fulfilled i.e. withdrawal of Pakistani forces, terrorists and Pakistani nationals from POK and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Rohit Singh well said….
Fully support your views….
Modi has stopped Kashmir from becoming a radicalised Islamic state……
Kashmir was the biggest Blunder of Nehru chacha the so called VISIONARY PM
Imran you must accept Kashmir is integral part of India No repeat No compromise on that issue…..
Issue remaining is how and when we take back the PoK, the Gulam Kashmir….
Hope you understand and not living in fool’s paradise
A grassroots analysis, unbiased too. Perhaps, after several years such in-depth study. The gullible citizens remain trapped between the devil and the deep sea. All stakeholders in Kashmir had their vested interests. Unaccounted money accounted more for terrorism and secessionism. But the learned author too called the terrorists as militants, a respectable political term though everyone knows that one who is out to unleash terror is called a terrorist.
Militancy flourishes in absence of law and order. Indirect political support by restraining and selectively using the the law and order machinery also has the same result. These were main ingredients fueling the violence which have disappeared. There has never been an unrestrained repression by security forces.
The attempts at targeting the economy is an obvious method to create a law and order problem. If the forces are seen to be acting fairly and quickly people instead of siding with the militants will side with the law and order machinery giving the crucial intelligence, further depleting the capabilities of the militants. The increasing neutralising of the terrorists will also put an end to local recruitment of the desperate few and criminals thriving on the violence.

Signs of new political leaders emerging in the Valley are visible now. Government should encourage young leaders who are inside out Indians.
