Yasin Malik’s men didn’t stop at raping the 27-year-old Kashmiri Hindu nurse Sarla Bhatt. They then murdered her, engraved the acronym ‘JKLF’ on her body, and mutilated it out of sheer contempt for her Hindu identity. After that, they issued multiple warnings to her family against cremating her remains according to Hindu rituals. The family still went ahead with the cremation, defying the threats. When they went to collect her cremated remains (asthi) later, a mob of around 200 Islamists descended upon the crematorium and stomped over them.
They didn’t stop even at that. They then bombed her family home with a grenade.
Do you really think all 200 of those monsters who showed up at the crematorium were foreign infiltrators, Pakistani terrorists, or JKLF members? These are the questions that make many Kashmiri Muslims very uncomfortable. The moment you raise these issues, especially when they present a narrative portraying their community as victims, they label you an Islamophobe or resort to similar accusations.
I have seen all kinds of Islamists, but the tribe in Kashmir is the craftiest. Many of them pretend to be atheists in private, yet their public behaviour and political leanings tell a completely different story. Very hard to take their words at face value.
#Siva will pay 500 crore out of 5000 and it is okay by banks. Why not? Exchequer bails them out. Like #sandesara group he too will be doing well ! But laws are for us mango people driven to suicide for 5000! Right @FinMinIndia @nsitharaman ??
I continue to receive special attention from the Chinese Communist Party in a way few foreign scholars do. This is just the latest in a series of articles about me in the CCP's mouthpiece, the Global Times (also known as the Goebbels Times).
It's an admitted fact that Wuhan Institute of Virology, with US funding, worked on manipulating coronaviruses. Now The Australian daily claims US has obtained a 2015 document written by PLA scientists that discussed weaponizing a coronavirus. So why is China still being shielded?
Much of Asia, from Japan and South Korea to the Philippines and India, is battling a fresh COVID-19 surge. But the country where the pandemic originated is reporting just a handful of new cases daily, despite a low vaccination rate. What's China's secret to controlling the virus?
No one believes the Indian government's no-Chinese-intrusion claim. A US intel report says, "China-India border tensions remain high, despite some force pullbacks this year. China’s occupation since May 2020 of contested border areas is the most serious escalation in decades..."
In the talks, China has been taking India round and round the mulberry bush. While fortifying the territorial gains of its April 2020 stealth aggression, the PLA cheekily tells India to “cherish the positive trend of de-escalation ... and work with China to safeguard peace..."
Having squandered its leverage by vacating Kailash Heights, India comes a cropper. China has used never-ending talks to consolidate the gains of its aggression. It refuses to pull back from Depsang, Hot Springs, Gogra and Demchok or return to pre-April 2020 positions in Galwan.
Beijing thought that after the joint WHO-China study report, the world would move on. But the report, by echoing Chinese propaganda, has only sharpened calls for probing the virus's real origins, including the lab-leak hypothesis. Even India's overcautious MEA wants such a probe.
What's the Quad's use if the US gets into bed with the world’s deadliest terrorists and undermines stability in India's neighborhood? What gives Team Biden the right to order an elected Afghan president to prepare "roadmap to a new, inclusive" government involving brutal Taliban?
Humble proposal, put a price tag on every monument or stadium named after any leader. Congress, BJP, doesn't matter. On the front door, in giant letters, Have their name, and how much the damned thing cost right next to it. See who wants their name on things after that.
Somebody entered my house and occupied a part of it illegally. Negotiations followed and it was decided that both sides will withdraw from their present positions, the intruder will vacate a part of my house and so shall I. Great victory for me.
Any deal involves some give and take. Yet the compromises that went into forging a deal with China narrowly limited to one sector (Pangong) were largely made by India. It finally acceded to the terms China offered before winter — a Pangong-only deal centered on creating a buffer.
