Deeply saddened by reports of a cloudburst in the upper reaches of Brar, Bandipora, which has reportedly damaged the foundation and fencing wall of the historic shrine of Hazrat Baba Dawood Khakhi (RA), revered as the Chaar Yaar Shrine.
For generations, this sacred place known locally as Shangpal has been a symbol of faith, spirituality, and Kashmir’s rich civilizational heritage. Its five natural springs, emerging high in the mountains, are a rare wonder that draws devotees from across the Valley.
This is not just the loss of stone and mortar; it is a blow to our shared heritage and collective memory. Urging @CM_JnK and @dcbandipora to consider immediate assessment, for restoration, and ensure this revered shrine is preserved for future generations.
The NIA court in Lucknow acquitted 78-year-old Mohammad Naeem in a 33-year-old case of sedition and spreading communal hatred saying the prosecution failed to establish the charges beyond reasonable doubt and that crucial evidence linking the accused to the alleged offence was missing.
“Calling India "secular" in the Constitution is like calling water wet…It obscures India’s own philosophical understanding of pluralism!!”@GitanjaliAngmo@moradabadpolice appears to have missed the memo on Indian pluralism.
Deeply concerned about damage to a place that’s sacred to community and part of our identity. In local parlance this place is called Shangpal. The cluster of five springs looks like a miracle at this height. A personal request to HCM Omar Abdullah saheb to take cognisance.
To all the young girls being targeted right now and young Ruchika, I need you to know:
1. You have done nothing wrong. You have stood up for your future, you exercised your democratic right, and you showed up!
2. These attacks are coordinated, many of these accounts targeting you have existed and been cultivated solely for the purpose of targeting dissenting voices. THEY ARE NOT REAL. THEIR WORDS ARE NOT REAL. Do not believe them. They don’t define you.
3. No matter how hated these coordinated attack might make you feel. You are very loved. There is a real world out there that does not believe a single word they say.
4. Your dissent, your energy, your courage, your defiance, your sheer love for the country is the beating heart of our nation. The whole nation sees it.
5. The whole nation also sees what they are doing to you. They are seeing how they are bullying you. They are seeing how fragile their egos are. They are seeing the small men, in their big jobs, and how their sense of self is hinging on harassing you and beating you down into submission. The world is seeing them! You are not alone.
Today they are doing this to you, and and for the last decade, since I was your age 19, they have been doing this to me. I SEE YOU, and we are with you. YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
If you ever need help, please reach out +91 9811867474. 🤍
And to all the trolls - you are a disgrace to this country, YOU predictable filth.
Hon’ble PM @narendramodi, there are two Gen Zs in India. One inherited opportunity; the other, in Kashmir inherited curfews, crackdowns, internet shutdowns, lost classrooms, unemployment and trauma.
Kashmiri youth seek neither sympathy nor charity only dignity, equal opportunity, political space and the freedom to dream without fear. If compassion is to define India’s future, let it begin with Kashmir.
Monsoon has exposed another leak, this time, it’s not an exam paper but it’s the roofs over displaced Kashmiri Pandit families at the Nagrota TRT Camp in Jammu.
Perhaps the @OfficeOfLGJandK and the @Divcomjammu are waiting for the ceilings to collapse before announcing another “commitment” to the community.
Do Kashmiri Pandits deserve only speeches or will they ever get roofs that don’t leak?
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam isn't secularism. Religious pluralism isn't secularism. Both of these aren't substitutes of secularism. Secularism is the separation of church and the state. A secular state is the greatest guarantor of liberty and equality in a country where there is a religious majority and minority and one side tries to crush another. Even in pluralistic societies, where there isn't any visible conflict, a secular state is the best bet to maintain overall harmony. The makers of our Constitution understood this very well. So they made a very modern document, without referring to some glorious 5,000-year-old civilisation or any ancient or mythical glory.
Scholar Umar Khalid was 34 when he was arrested in 2020. Six years on, he remains in jail without trial.
Meanwhile, Kapil Mishra, who openly gave an inflammatory speech in the lead-up to the Delhi riots, was rewarded with a cabinet post as Delhi’s Minister for Law & Justice.
The Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Praveen Sood, said on July 27 that dealing with agitations involving citizens is often more challenging than tackling terrorism.
“Sometimes I feel that facing terrorists in Jammu & Kashmir or dealing with any insurgency is perhaps even easier than when we have to face our own people, because using force against them is very difficult,” he said while addressing the 88th Raising Day event of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) as the chief guest.
