Any ways the way you are rolling on the floor it shows you are a dumbas*.

Indian Occupied Kashmir locked down in bid to stem deadly protests

Thousands of Indian troops enforced a strict curfew in parts of Kashmir Wednesday in a bid to stem three weeks of deadly protests that have claimed 11 lives and led to soaring tensions.

Six people have been killed in the last four days alone during demonstrations against the killing of Kashmiris by Indian security forces which began with the death of a schoolboy earlier this month.

Each killing has sparked a new cycle of violence and state chief minister Omar Abdullah appealed Tuesday for calm and for people to stay in their homes, adding that widespread curfews would allow tempers to cool.

Northern Sopore town was locked down for the fifth day running and neighbourhoods are also under curfew in the Kashmiri summer capital Srinagar and other towns in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley.

Fatal shootings by security forces on Tuesday claimed the lives of three teenagers in southern Anantnag district, about 55 kilometres (34 miles) south of Srinagar, which is also under curfew.

Indian Kashmir has been wracked by street protests since June 11, when a 17-year-old student died after being hit by a tear-gas shell fired by police during a pro-independence demonstration in Srinagar.

Also Wednesday, extra forces were deployed to protect the start of an annual Hindu pilgrimage to the icy Amarnath shrine in the foothills of Himalayas. In the past, it has been the target of Islamic militant groups.

"Adequate security arrangements for the smooth conduct of yatra (pilgrimage) are in place," Kashmir's tourism minister Rigzin Jora told reporters, as he flagged off first batch of 1,274 pilgrims from Kashmiri winter capital, Jammu.

The pilgrims, including 400 ash-smeared saints, left Jammu in caravan of busus, cars and trucks protected by machine-gun wielding paramilitary forces.

The violence in Kashmir is seen as a major test for chief minister Abdullah, who came to power last year promising to improve human rights.

Even where curfews were not in place Wednesday, life came to standstill because of a general strike called for the second day running by separatists. Shops, schools and offices were closed.

India and Pakistan each hold Kashmir in part but claim it in full. They have fought two of their three wars over it.

Separatists have fought a decades-long battle against rule by New Delhi, favouring independence for the region or for it to join neighbour Muslim-majority Pakistan.

An anti-India insurgency, which New Delhi says is fuelled by Pakistan, has claimed an estimated 47,000 lives.

"There is a two-track struggle going on in the (Kashmir) valley," wrote columnist Manoj Joshi in the Mail Today newspaper. "The first is a military conflict involving Pakistan-trained and armed militants...

"The second is a civil protest movement which is a melange of separatism, Islamism and alienation against misrule and lack of avenues for productive employment," he said.

I simply do not understand the sense of sending in these thullas covered in what looks like a padded rajai, a WWII helmet with a steel grill visor, and a lathio in hand man. Against guys chucking rocks at them.

There has to be a middle ground between lathis and throwing rocks back (today's newspaper had a photo of some thulls gathered around a wheelbarrow collecting brick pieces to chuck back!) and the use of live ammunition as a last ditch measure.

The security forces need much better body armour. Nothing fancy, but why not basic sports quality hard guards at least? Like elbow and forearm, knee and shin, hip and thigh, back, as well as motocross style upper body armor with shoulder and chest protector integrated as well? It would not cost more than 5000 bucks at most. Can't we spend that much on each policeman?

Secondly, the world over riot police have guns that fire non-lethal rubber bullets. Why not fire those at the stone pelters? Yes you could lose an eye or a testicle, but I find it hard to imagine rallies with green flags in Sopore or Anantnag over a young man minus one testicle. And it would give other young men something to think about before they accept their daily wages for stoning on hire.

Thirdly, as way back as the early 90s the Indian Army MP has had these electrical prods and tasers. Crude but very effective. And once hit, you develop this sudden overpowering lifelong urge not to experience it again! After all, there's something spectaculary un-heroic and un-inspiring about a "pro-freedom insurgent" going into grotesque tonic-clonic paroxysms on the ground as his bladder and anal sphincters lose all tone and violently expel their contents involuntarily.



Cheers, Doc

Spot on ! It makes my blood boil to see these guys who are doing our dirty work run up against stone throwing mobs without the basic of protective gear. Yesterday there was a video of a mob beating a policeman brutally. The guy didn't have a single piece of protective gear on except for his helmet. We regularly see images of the SPG showing off their toys, guess it helps if you are providing show & pomp for the PM & other assorted VIP's but these poor guys get sent to handle riots with just a stick. How much can it take to issue these guys with protective equipment & non lethal weapons? Can't we as a country of 1.2 billion afford some basic protection to a few thousand riot police? Chances are that a unprotected policeman may feel danger to his person enough to use deadly force where one who was better protected may have waited out the protesters.

Amaranth yatra begins amidst tensions in Kashmir

The Amaranth yatra began on June 30th from Jammu Kashmir amidst tensions in the valley. The first batch of 500 Hindu pilgrims left in a convoy escorted by heavy security.

Several towns in the valley were put under curfew because of the security situation. Pilgrims however remained undeterred, vowing that they will continue the yatra.

The DIG of Jammu Kashmir, Farooq Khan, said that nearly 3,000 border security force jawans have been deployed to avoid any untoward situation.

Thousands of pilgrims travel every year to the holy Amarnath cave shrine in south Kashmir, dedicated to lord Shiva, that is located at a height of 13,500 feet.

Authorities extend curfew to new areas in Indian Occupied Kashmir to end anti-India protests

SRINAGAR, India — Authorities brought new areas under curfew in the Indian portion of Kashmir on Wednesday to control the worst street violence in a year, triggered by the killing of 11 people allegedly by government forces over the past two weeks.
Thousands of government forces patrolled the troubled town of Sopore where the curfew continued for a sixth straight day.
With tension mounting in the region, authorities put most parts in Srinagar, the main city in Indian Kashmir, and the key towns of Anantnag and Baramulla under curfew on Wednesday.
Omar Abdullah, the state's top elected official, asked people to stay indoors. "They should not violate curfew and not engage security forces."
Shops, businesses, schools and government offices were shut in the region. Authorities postponed college examinations and even blocked text messages on cellphones.
No fresh violence was reported Wednesday, a day after police and paramilitary troops fired on thousands of anti-India protesters, killing at least three people in Anantnag, a town 35 miles (55 kilometres) south of Srinagar, police said.
Local residents said that one of the dead, Ishtiyaq Ahmed Khanday, 15, was not part of any protests and was killed in the compound of his home.
Faced with more than two weeks of increasingly strident protests in the divided Himalayan region, government forces have been accused of killing a total of 11 people in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Protesters demanding independence have attacked troops with rocks and sticks, and government forces have responded by launching tear gas, charging with batons and opening fire.
Muslim militants have fought in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir since 1989 for independence or merger with Pakistan.
While anti-India demonstrations are frequent in the region, the latest round of street protests was triggered by a police investigation earlier this month that found Indian army soldiers had killed three Kashmiri civilians in May. The investigation said the soldiers staged a gunbattle to claim the dead were militants. The army responded by suspending two officers.
Anti-India sentiment runs deep in Muslim-majority Kashmir, which is divided between India and Pakistan and is claimed by both.
Separatist politicians and armed militants reject Indian sovereignty in Kashmir, and want to carve out a separate homeland or merge the Himalayan region into Pakistan.
More than 68,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the conflict since 1989.

Protests rock Kashmir, Amarnath Yatra halted

The annual Amarnath Yatra has been halted by the authorities on Wednesday in Udhampur district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The buses leaving for Kashmir from Udhampur district for the Yarta that is scheduled to formally start on Thursday were halted for three hours. According to the authorities, this was done to ensure the safety of the pilgrims as the Valley witnessed violent protests in the last 2 days in which at least 6 civilians have been killed. The journey is likely to resume in the evening.
Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir Petrol and Tankers Association has refused to carry fuel to the Valley due to security concerns. The move by the association comes after 35 tankers were reportedly damaged by agitators during the recent protests.
The association members are demanding adequate security for the tankers and are currently holding a meeting with the state government officials on the issue.
The Association's president Anand Sharma says that the tankers would however continue to supply fuel to the Jammu region.
The refusal to carry fuel is likely to hit not only the Valley but also the Ladakh region. Everyday, 200 fuel tankers leave for Kashmir and Ladakh from Jammu. The daily requirement of fuel in Kashmir and Ladakh is estimated to be 24 lakh litres.

Soldiers have to be held responsible for certain human rights violations in Kashmir,but that does not mean the entire army is evil.i cannot speculate about Pakistani involvement,but yes certain sections of the army are definitely at fault.
And frankly i was hurt by such casual attitude of certain members from India about the Kashmir issue,but again i think Kashmirs should try to adopt a more democratic approach.There are problems in every state and the people there worry more about dealing with them first.
