How beautiful is the heart of those who go through the worst storms in life, yet remain gentle, patient, kind, and humble.
They win twice, here and hereafter.
What exactly is happening in Sidhra? A demolition drive carried out by the JK Forest Department against poor Gujjar families has now triggered outrage across J&K. If these structures were “illegal”, then how were people allowed to live there for decades in the first place? Many families allege they were not even served proper notices before their homes were demolished.
What makes this even more ironic is that the very person heading the department is now out protesting publicly. If the department itself carried out the drive, then what exactly is his responsibility? Governance cannot work like this. Action against encroachment cannot become action only against the poor & vulnerable while influential land grabbers remain untouched. This needs to stop!!
The banner burns in orange light,
A ghost of ink within the night.
The golden horns dissolve in heat,
Crushed beneath a thousand feet.
The crowd cries out, the sparks fly high
As ash and smoke reclaim the sky
What once was printed, bold and grim,
Is torn apart at freedom’s whim
