'Rebels kill 15 Indian soldiers

If India was fighting against the "foreign militants" then a force of few thousands would have been enough. But the problem is they have to fight entire population of Kashmir, thats why they need such big deployment.

Now, if they pull out Kashmiri people would eat them, if they stay there they have to bear the costs and risk, that is why they are in continous process of fruitless negotiations.

That decreases the risk of any major threat from Pakistan and at the same time gives them a control over people to certain extent.

You mean fight these peoples? :rolleyes: :disagree:

Indian Idol creates Kashmir stir
By Altaf Hussain
BBC News, Srinagar



Crowds line up in Srinagar to audition
Hundreds of young people have ignored militant threats in Indian-administered Kashmir and auditioned for the popular television show Indian Idol.

A large number of girls were among those who turned out for the auditions in the state capital, Srinagar.

Indian Idol, based on the popular UK programme Pop Idol, has run for two years but this is the first time auditions have been held in Srinagar.

Militants called the Sony TV programme vulgar and against traditional values.

It's not a vulgar kind of programme... It is really a great opportunity

Auditioner Miss Shami

Al Madina Regiment, the militant group which warned hopefuls to stay away from the auditions, has been behind several attacks in recent years.

In recent years, various militant groups have attempted to enforce Islamic values, particularly a dress code, in the region.

'Great step'

The auditions in Srinagar turned into quite an event - particularly against the background of Kashmir's traditional society.


The show is hosted by actress Mini Mathur

In spite of rain, there was a festive atmosphere outside the Sher-e-Kashmir International Convention Complex (SKICC), where the auditions were held on Wednesday morning.

Since it was launched, Indian Idol has provided a platform for aspiring singers across India.

The publicity head of Sony TV, Shola Rajachandran, told journalists "we have come here with confidence and good will".

"Why not have a nice budding singer from Kashmir?"

One young lady waiting for her auditioning sister told the BBC: "I appreciate Sony TV for taking such a great step.

"They have afforded a chance to Kashmiri youth to show their talent and to represent Kashmir. It's a good beginning."

She said the militants had no business interfering in a programme like this.

"If somebody wants to get freedom for Kashmir, that's altogether different. Everybody wants their individuality, their personal identity and personal recognition. For that, it's a very good platform."

However, she was angry that the people coming with those auditioning were made to wait on the road outside the SKICC in bad weather.

Perhaps, Sony TV did not want to take any chances with security, more so in view of the militant group's warning.

'Talent'

A number of candidates who failed in the auditions, performed before media people outside the convention centre.

Among them was Saima who was ruled ineligible for being under-aged.

She was accompanied by her burqa-clad grandmother, who said she was keen for the young girl to join the contest.

Many Kashmiris have been emboldened to join the singing contest after a young man from downtown Srinagar, Kazi Tauqeer, won a music contest on another show on Sony TV last year.

Meraj Ahmed who lost out in the auditions on Wednesday told the BBC: "There is a lot of talent here. Sony TV is exposing it to the world."

The Himalayan state of Kashmir has been a disputed territory between Pakistan and India since the partition of the Indian sub-continent in 1947.

The region has been the scene of an insurgency by militants against Indian rule since 1989. That conflict has cost at least 60,000 lives so far

Fifteen paramilitary troops have been killed by separatist rebels in India's north-eastern state of Manipur, officials have said.
They said the troops were returning from a village to the state capital, Imphal, after Friday's final polling round for the state assembly.
It is not yet clear which of Manipur's many separatist groups may have carried out the attack.
Earlier this month, six policemen were killed in Manipur by suspected rebels.

Ambush

The convoy of the paramilitary India Reserve Battalion was returning from election duty in the hill district of Tamenglong to Imphal when it came under heavy fire near the village of Zouzantek.
The officials said the troops fired back and fought, but two of their vehicles were completely destroyed by the rebels who hurled grenades and fired machine guns from both sides of the hill road.
The officials said 10 soldiers died on the spot and four on the way to hospital.
The condition of three more was said to be serious and doctors said the death toll could well rise.
Abduction
This is the second attack on security forces by separatist rebels in Manipur during the three phases of the state assembly elections that took place this month.
Six central reserve policemen were killed in the first attack in the hill district of Ukhrul in mid-February.
The United National Liberation Front (UNLF) - Manipur's oldest and strongest rebel group - claimed responsibility for that attack.
Intelligence officials say they were not too sure whether the UNLF was also involved in the attack on Saturday.
This is because the district of Tamenglong is a stronghold of the rebels of the Naga tribe, who were responsible for some violence during and before the elections on Friday and also the abduction of a candidate earlier in the week.

Somebody's not wanted here! This is a mass people's movement, unlike some 'foreign-controlled' limited 'movements'. Time for Black Panther time? Time for Quebec Referendum/Independence time? Time for Lakota Nation time? Time for IRA time? Time for Basque time? Time for Palestine? The clock is ticking....
