Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
The name Jyoti Malhotra sounds like it is Indian, but, the article reads like it’s written by some Tasleema Qureshi (made up name) from Lahore. I wouldn’t be surprised if these writers who pose as Indian reporters are really Imran/ ISI/ Pak Army’s gang of information war mongers.
And, if she is really Indian, she should know that Bohemia is not a country. These writers seem to consider themselves to be angels sent by God to establish equality and peace in this world. What does Jyoti have to say about the ten gold decline of non-Muslim population in Pakistan over the last two decades? What does she say about the ghastly horrors the Kashmiri Pandits endured and many of them lost their lives to?
It is easy to shoot holes in a canvas. If you try to understand what the painting is about and the context of the painting by looking at other works in the gallery, probably you wouldn’t want to shoot holes.
A pen in the hand of a myopic and opinionated journalist is more dangerous than a gun in the hands of a deranged person.
Whatever Europe thinks, I have no sympathy for the male chauvinist, racist, sexist Muslim Sunni popular outcry of Kashmir valley. Sometimes one has to take a stand. Sometimes you have to fight to be a man! (a line from a piece of county music)
INDIANS ON THE MAIN DO NOT BUY CONSUMER GOODS FOR THE SAKE OF BUYING THEM TO OUTDO THEIR NEIGHBOURS…IF THEY START TO BE CONSUMERS OF EVERCHANGING SPECS AND LEAVE LAST YEARS DESIGNS SITTING COLLECTING DUST…..INDIA I FEEL DOES NOT HAVE THE MARKETS IT IS OFFERING…
Jyoti is at it again; she has put together events of the last week, however disparate, and with her simmering anti Modi feelings, she came out with this article. Kashmir issue is over. Leaders will be released in due course and elections to the UT of J&K will be held. This is what is understood by EU as “in accordance with the wishes of people of Kashmir “. Jyoti should know clearly and once for all, that there is nothing beyond this in Kashmir. And the timing and sequence of events will be decided by the Modi government depending on the security situation there. So Jyoti should not write anything on Kashmir in future unless she is writing about POK. It is possible that Amit Shah may pull a rabbit out of his hat and offer people’s representatives from POK to join the Kashmir assembly! Jyoti may like to worry about such possibilities and its dangerous implications as Pak and China will go livid with anger. NRC is purely an internal issue of determining who is an illegal immigrant and no country in the world can dare raise an issue about it. NGOs and anti India cliques may be active about it, if that is any consolation to Jyoti. I would honestly request Shekhar to review her articles before they are uploaded . There is absolutely no problem if you criticize Modi but do it with sound logic and sense.
Not sure what this article is trying to convey and to whom. On the one hand the author wants the government to talk with Pakistan and on the other she is peeved that the world over it is business as usual with India despite the scrapping of Article 370. The heading of the article seems to be made-up to get more clicks and seems completely disconnected from the content. The concerns from the western nations are completely misrepresented as the statements from these nations are just wishy-washy with no real substance, and were not followed up by any actions in any way, manner of form
In this context, it would make sense to reconcile to the fact that India is now a player at the high table with a lot of leverage across the world and it would behoove our journalists to look at where mainstream (Bharat) is heading and frame your arguments accordingly. Twisting the existing world scenario to suit a limited audience is going to expose you to a lot of ridicule.
What “right things” you have in mind that India should do in Kashmir? What if the Kashmiris say restoration of article 370 and their statehood are the only “right things” for India to do?
What other “right things” can India do in Kashmir when it has no money? “No funds, Modi govt puts on hold its Rs 2,600-crore education plan for J&K and Ladakh”! “After Article 370 move, HRD ministry had drawn up major plan to improve education infrastructure in J&K and Ladakh. Officials now say they don’t have adequate funds.”
Why are we reminding ourselves of Kashmir issue and liking the same to Indian economy. They are two separate issues according to me. European capitals will always point to human rights violations whenever a mike if pushed on their faces. This is a mere posturing. But business is as usual. Better to focus on economy and expose government there rather than link Kashmir issue with it. Secondly, what is there to talk with Pakistan.. opening the issue once again after water has gone under the bridge is foolish. Govt must focus on what it can now do for JK people and not worry about reactions internationally.. Both issue are separate and attempts must be made not to rake them up needlessly
The article is disjointed and mixes up too many things; work of a lazy journalist. This approach towards Kashmir and Pakistan has nothing to do with Beijing but everything to do with taking a different route to a complex problem. Who inspired the US to react the way it did in the aftermath of 9/11? It was a natural response, whether right or wrong. Hypothetically, if Kashmir were to part from India as an independent nation OR to join Pakistan, will Jyoti guarantee that India-Pakistan will have friendly borders just like any two civilised nations have? For once strategic issues must be left to experts. Journalists should get out of their armchair and start reporting experts’ perspectives rather than pouring out their heart on the keypad.
Jyoti Malhotra appears sad that things are going well for India on the international front. This is what Marxism does to you – turn you into an antinational traitor.
One has never understood the need for ad hominem attacks. Point out flaws / fallacies in the column’s arguments and propositions, by all means, spell out a better way of seeing the issue.
If things are not going well in Kashmir – apart from some efforts to grow broccoli – it is in our own interest to start doing all the right things. With or without a nudge from the international community. As for the India economic story, it is beginning to sound more like a fairy tale with each passing day.
While you may have a point regarding which is suffering due to structural problems in our country. JK is settled thing of past now, now only thing to do is flush out terrorists.

The author needs some journalism lesson I believe. So many unrelated things have been mixed up. Such a poor writing!
