#Kashmiris love the #Indian Army. The Army has cared for us and protected us always.
Nine year old Burhan Malik has been given new life by the Army.
Burhan was suffering from a heart problem. He needed specialised surgery in New Delhi. His family did not have money for his treatment.
The #Army and Indrani Balan Foundation @ibfpune
financed Burhan's full treatment. The child is hale and hearty now. Watch video.

There are rumblings in Kashmir society. Many young #Kashmiris are saying that we want #GOI to bankroll flyovers, railway networks, great roads, super speciality hospitals, educational institutions, great civic infrastructure...We all want sarkari jobs. Then why do we insist on hating everything #Indian?

Examine the attached post from Kashmir's social media. The man said that after he appreciated the new railway network connecting Srinagar to New Delhi, some India haters got after him saying - Bro, why are you promoting Indian interests in #Kashmir?
The man says he wanted to tell him - Get real. We both shall be co-passengers one day in the train from #Srinagar to #NewDelhi.

The man's words are instructive for the youth -
Kindly teach them realities of life, and post college/univ trauma. Anything we think is revolutionary, simply turns out as escapism. Write your own books, stop reading others. They lived and wrote books irrelevant to us.

Entire #Kashmir knows of the divide between North Kashmir and South Kashmir regarding the #IndianArmy.

North Kashmir has nurtured a loving bond with the #Army for more than two decades.
South Kashmir is largely still hostile towards the Army.
In South Kashmir, many people desire change and want to develop a healthy relationship with the Army.
After the #LokSabha elections and the weakening of separatist camps, change shall be more rapid. 🇮🇳🫡

During Congress years, senior bureaucrats sent by GOI to the UN openly made fun of the Congress for not having any policy on #Kashmir.

This was recently revealed by an eminent gentleman who had gone to the UN.
On the contrary, the #Modi government policy on Kashmir is clear-headed and is spelt out in action. It has transformed Kashmir.

Here is the text of the post attached below.

"During a chance encounter quite some years ago in the UN in Geneva with a high ranking Indian bureaucrat, while discussing Kashmir, Indo-Pak and Geopolitics, I said to him; "Sir, with all due respect, I think Delhi's Kashmir policy needs some changes...[here]...and [there].... [This]...can be done more and... [that]... should be done less... There is a need for [this] and [that] needs to be revisited etc etc."

He started laughing, almost hysterically, for about a minute. Perhaps a few seconds less or a bit more. I was surprised, especially as this was - to my mind - quite unflattering behaviour of a high-ranking diplomat sitting in the Serpent Bar of the UN. When he caught his breath, I asked; "Forgive my ignorance, but could you please explain the joke to me as well. I could use a good laugh as these Sessions of the UN are always very stressful."
He said, while he kept laughing: "My apologies, Sir. Please don't get me wrong Qureshi Sahib, I just laughed as I find it extremely funny that someone with your expertise and intellect still thinks that Delhi actually HAS a policy on Kashmir".

Under the leadership of J&K DGP Shri Rashmi Ranjan Swain, J&K Police has systematically broken the terror and narco-terror networks in #Jammu and #Kashmir.
Multi-crore properties and assets of all those involved in terror and narco terror activities have been seized by the state as per law. Multi-crore properties in J&K belonging to #Kashmiri origin terrorists and terror handlers based in Pakistan have been seized as per law.
The significant drop in terror activities that we see on the ground is the result of these sustained efforts.

#Lavender cultivation has emerged as a #Purple Revolution in the villages of #Jammu region.
Farmers of villages in #Doda, #Udhampur, #Reasi, #Ramban, #Rajouri, #Kathua and adjoining areas are raking in profits, thanks to lavender.
#CSIR #Aroma Mission of #GOI provided farmers with free high-quality lavender plants. The profits attracted other farmers too.
The Lavender Festival of #Bhaderwah attracted study teams from various states.
Lavender is used in perfumes, cosmetic products, herbal products, medicinal care, etc.
With high-quality lavender oil production across Jammu and #Kashmir, the region is on the world lavender map.

Bijbehara is a flourishing town on the bank of #Jhelum river in #Kashmir. It is on the main national highway #NH44.
In ancient times, #Bijbehara was known as #Vijayeshwara. This is a Sanskrit word, which means The Town of The Victorious #Shiv.
In #Kashmiri, the town is also called Vijbor or Vijbror. The part Vij refers to #Vijay, the #Sanskrit word for #Victory.
The image on the right is the painting of Bijbehara by Charles Hardinge in 1846. He wrote it as Bij-Beara.

In 37 seconds, the new #BJP ad for #JammuKashmir captures the new-found prosperity and economic growth of the region after abrogation of #Article370.
Listen to the opening line in #Dogri, the language of the #Dogras of #Jammu.
The man welcomes you to #NayaJammuKashmir. 😃

I saw this boy at a function organised by Indian Army at Subhana Stadium in Sopore.
He is an ordinary #Kashmiri boy of Sopore who loves his nation, who loves #Tiranga, and who loves the #Army.
In every bit of clothing, the boy wants to be a soldier.
The whole Kashmir has seen the amazing difference made to our valley by J&K LG Shri Manoj Sinha @manojsinha_ Administration and the Army.
This is why even hardcore radicalised areas like #Sopore have transformed.
Hands that were trained to throw stones are now holding Tiranga with love and pride.
