amaskar. Wish you al l aHappy Diwali.My recent trip to Jammu hasgiven me further insight of
how things have started changing inparticular to Samoohik Maikhla. I wasinvited by All State Kashmiri PanditConference to attend this communityYagneopavit function. It was precededby performing all functions likeMehandiraat, Devagon etc. In thisfunction, 21 boys participated, whowere from different parts of the world.One boy was from US, 2 boys were fromKashmir valley and the rest were fromJammu. The KP community should bethankful to ASKPC organisers for suchreformist activity and congratulatethem for doing so year after year. Theyalso take lead in conducting marriagesof poor girls.
This trip gave me anotheropportunity to meet various sick anddestitute families in the Camps atMuthi, Purkhoo, Mishriwala, Nagrotaand Udhampur. On behalf of KPA, amonettary help of about Rs. 15000.00was offered to various deservingfamilies.
Last month once again, wewitnessed the sad demise of ShriJ.N.Kachroo, a founder-member ofProject Zaan and Member of theMilchar Editorial Board. Shri Kachrooused to take lot of interest in KPAactivities and was a regular contributorto Milchar. Father of Shri SurienderKachroo, our Ex-General Secretary,Kachroo Sahib was the man of very

Kharghar Project: Ourarchitects have alreadyissued a tender noticein 2 newspapers (FreePress Journal and a Marathi daily) on7th October 2006 and we are awaitingbuilders' response for the constructionwork. We as a community have beencomplacent regarding the collection offunds after the initial impetus.Repeatedly we have been requestingthe members about theircontributions, but it seems membersare waiting for the work to start. Withthe present funds available, it will notbe possible to start the constructionon continuous basis, in case we decideto start piling work on 9th December2006, the Mahurat date.
NOIDA Association has alsopurchased a piece of land at NOIDA. Imet their working committeemembers who have been collectingfunds for their project. I was reallysurprised that in the last 4 Sundays,they have moved from door to door andhave collected Rs. 20 Lacs. Thecommunity population there is about800 famil ies, but their l i fe-membership is about 400. I wouldrequest our biradari to pick up furtherinitiative from here and send theircheques to KPA by the time we arrangefor door to door collection.

he Editorial Board, 'Milchar'announces with deep regret,the sad demise of itsseniormost member Shri
J.N.Kachroo on 14th September 2006at Mumbai. Shri KachrooSahib's departure from thescene has been a great lossto the Mumbai biradari ingeneral and the KashmiriPandits' Association in par-ticular.
Shri Kachroo Sahib gotassociated with 'Milchar' inthe year 2001, when its Edi-torial Board was re-consti-tuted to bring in profession-alism in its publication.Apart from the valuableguidance he provided to theBoard, Kachroo Sahib ini-tiated the column 'From thePages of Histrory' in'Milchar' in January 2001and continued it till August2005 when he could notconcentrate much on writ-ing due to his ill-health. Hiscontribution to refurbishthe journal has been enor-mous. The vacuum createdby his departure as far as 'Milchar' isconcerned, can not be filled for a longtime to come.
Apart from his contribution toMilchar, Shri Kachroo Sahib was in-strumental in launching the ProjectZaan, a Kashmiri literary platforn inthe year 2000 in Mumbai. It was actu-ally in late 1998 that some enthusias-
tic members of Lalla Ded Educationaland Welfare Trust, under the inspir-ing guidance of Shri Kachroo Sahib,conceived the idea of organising somesort of 'Story-telling' or 'Quiz Contest'
in Kashmiri language to in-culcate interest in ouryoungsters in their mother-tongue. Initially, one pagehand-outs were releasedalong with the Milchar, giv-ing tit-bit information aboutour culture, language, birthplace etc. to our youngsters.These hand-outs created in-terest not only in our younggeneration, but also in thesenior members of the com-munity. It was here whenShri Kachroo Sahib and histeam discussed the blueprint of the project withKashmiri Pandits' Associa-tion for the larger interestof the community, and KPAdecided to give logistic sup-port to this laudable effort.Consequently, on 30thApril, 2000, Project Zaanwas re-launched as a jointproject of Lalla Ded Educa-
tional & Welfare Trust and theKashmiri Pandits' Association,Mumbai.
The periodical 'Hand-outs' ulti-mately gave way to the 'InformationDigest Series', of which 5 volumes havebeen published till date. This also in-cludes the publication of 'Basic Readerfor Kashmiri Language', the first of its

kind in the country incorporating theStandardised Devanagari-KashmiriScript, in March 2001, . The 'Reader'was further revised and republishedin June 2004.
From the start, Shri Kachroo Sahibhad the young boys and girls of thecommunity in mind, who he wanted tobe in touch with their language andtheir roots. So he conceived the ideaof conducting quiz programmes on theyearly basis, where these youngsterscould recite stories, poems, riddlesetc. in Kashmiri, and also answerquestion related to Kashmir andKashmiri, based on the informationgiven in 'Information Digests'. Thusstarted the 'Quiz Contests' of ProjectZaan, which were held year after year,initially for only youngsters, and finallyfor seniors as well. First such QuizContest was held at Kashyap Bhawanon 30 April 2000 at the re-launch ofProject Zaan itself. With the help ofShri Sunil Fotedar of Texas, USA, theProject was also put on internet in theyear 2001.
Though the Project Zaan could notdo well during the last couple of yearsmainly due to lack of funds, it washoped that the things would move inthe right direction once the revisedblue-print, which Shri Kachroo Sahibhad lately thought upon, was ready.But the Almighty did not allow us com-pany of Shri Kachroo Sahib for long andthe Project got yet another setback.
In keeping with the hopes and as-pirations of Shri Kachroo Sahib, thisis the right time that the organisersrevive the Quiz Contests, induce moreinterest in our youngsters and addmore volumes to the Information Di-gest Series. Since the Project Zaan hasalready some capital for introducing
prizes for various events, it would beworthwhile, if some sort of Award isalso started in the name of ShriKachroo Sahib. It is hoped that theorganisers will not find the commu-nity wanting and many well-wisherswill come forward to finance theProject. If such a thing happens, it willbe a humble tribute to the great per-sonality of Kachroo Sahib on behalf ofthe Mumbai biradari.
A MemoirThat night on 14September 2006, suddenlymy world stood still, mylife came crumbling down
like a building of cards and I wasshattered. Boitoth (Shri J.N.Kachroo),the dearest person who was my friend,guide and philosopher for the last overfive and a half decades was recalledto the eternal home by his Creator.What the Lord giveth, He taketh backand so it had to be !
Besides teaching me academicsubjects from first principles, hetaught me precept and practice, howto live a fullfilling life, by loving withoutexpectations and service before self.
I owe him immense gratitude forhaving touched my life in so manymeaningful ways which defy definitionand description. He was the one whoaccepted me despite all my faults andflaws. He showered on me loving careas no one else, during my formativeyears; thus moulding my characternearest to his heart's desire.

ver since human beingsstarted thinking about theiridentities and values, theyhave been aiming for an ideal
โ the perfect human being, whom allother human beings should strive toimitate. There is only one concreteresult of this deliberation upon whicheveryone in the human race will agree,however-namely that mankind as itlives and behaves on this planet today,has not yet become perfect. No wonderthat while nature doesattain perfection but wepeople never do.
There is a perfect ant,a perfect bee etc. etc. butmankind is perpetuallyunfinished. Imaginatively,when mankindโs spiritawoke to life, a conceptwas born that became known asethics. Ethics can serve as a signposton the way to becoming perfect.Imperfect or as some may want toaddress unfinished man requiresethics because the consciousness ofself prompts people to think ofthemselves first and only then โ if atall โ to think of others. Despite Ethics,crimes like wars, murder, mayhemand better not to mention lesser ratedones like dishonesty, continue to exist& grow, unabated. The only thing thathas continuously changed & willcontinue to change is the way in whichmorals are interpreted, justified andimplemented. Unfinished mankind,however, has remained & wil l

continue to remain asfar away from whatpeople actually shouldbe or could become.Modernity has provideda garb that men nowhave a shower and ashave before going toattack another fellow human being.
The ethics of those who are ontheir way to becoming perfect humanbeings seem thus to be imperfect , a
fact that wi l l c learlyprevent these ethics frombecoming fully effective.One of the mainshortcoming probably isthat , ethics are, as arule, preached toothers,hoping that theywill take them to heart
thus underlining that we have twosets of morality, one which we preachand the other which we practice butseldom preach. Every human being,however, has his or her own uniqueexperience to guide their ethicalpractices. There may not be any societywhere morals are not contraveneddaily. We are, thus, forced to admitthat crime is unavoidable henceroutine. Consequently, there is nopoint in referring to the unavoidableimperfection of human nature as adisease too since if it were so, we allwould have contracted this disease asimperfection reigns everywhere.
In short, the perfect human beingwill never exist. ss

n 1990, we were forced to fleethe Valley, to sever our tieswith our ancestral land whereour pedigree had lived for over
five thousand years. Shaiva Kashmiriwas there even before Kashmir knewany Buddhists, Sikhs or Muslims. Theland was known not only for herbountiful rivers and mountains but alsofor the scholarship that it cultivatedfor over three thousand years. It isrecorded that whenPatanjali completed hisc o m m e n t a r yโMahabhashyaโ on PaniniโsAshtaadhyaya, he wentover to Kashmir to consultand seek the approval ofthe pundits in Kashmirbefore โreleasingโ it to theworld of scholarship atlarge. A Buddhist scholar,Kumar Jeev who wastrained in Kashmir, is alegend in Chinese history.He, i t is bel ieved,translated over a hundredPali texts into Chinese,which saw Buddhismflourish in China. ThePandits have been a peaceloving ethnic group, fond ofgood foods, fruits and flowers, andabove all scholarship. You may recallthat after the displacement of 1990,the uprooted community wasextremely concerned about theeducation of their wards, food andshelter was accorded a second priority.

A friend of mine fromJammu expressed hisastonishment at seeingyoung kids appearingfrom nowhere early inthe morning and theirparents escorting themtheir way to somenearby school, in most cases, a tentschool. This has been and maycontinue to be the basic desire of our
biradari - pursuit ofeducation, knowledge andgyan and understanding. Sanskrit has been the
language of intellection ofour ancestors. This factmust not be ignored. It isan august duty of ourgeneration to inspire andpersuade our young mindsto study Sanskrit andmaster it. Our ancestorsmastered many languagessimultaneously andSanskrit occupied a prideof place there. In thepresent material ist icworld, parents assumethat engineering,medicine, andmanagement are the only
worthy areas that their wards oughtto opt for. It is an ill conceived thoughtwhose consequences can be fatal forour progeny. The areas of knowledgeare many. We should aim at excellingin all areas including the study ofShastras and Vedas. This will ensure

glory to our future generation andthose that follow them.
There are many communities inour own country that have suffered thetrauma of displacement but theyensure that their kids learn themother tongue at home. Can weemulate their example? Instances aremany, but I bring forward just two:Bengalis who had to run away fromwhat is now Bangladesh and Sindhiswho flew Sindh in Pakistan. Bengalisare scattered in various states, so areSindhis yet they speak their respectivemother tongues at home. There aremany other communities that deserveto be emulated in this respect.Instances are : Malayalis, Tamils,Punjabis, Gujaratis to name a few.
I was amazed to find that just fourGujarati families in Asmara, NorthEast Africa had successfully preservedtheir mother tongue after nearly ahundred years of migration there! Andtheir kids spoke chaste Hindi too justbecause, as they put it, they wereamply exposed to Hindi Films rightthrough their childhood and youth.The families sought brides for theirsons and grooms for their daughtersfrom Gujarat. There was not a singlecase of inter-community marriagereported.
May our renewed quest forpreservation of our culture, identityand heritage make it happen acrossthe country and abroad so that ourprogeny does not suffer the pangs of alack of identity, as do manycommunities in several countriesacross Europe and the Americas.
Love Kashmiri, Learn Kashmiri!Be a rightful heir to your legacy andhistory and culture!

You amaze me, my countrythat not only you grant immunityto a dreaded Ghaziwho spawned the insurgency,conspired and took up arms against you,looted, burned and rapedand gunned down innocent denizens,with impunity -but also accord him the privilegeand the highest honourto take the salute today,in the Republic Day paraderight in this borough here,so near to wherehis victims shiverin the refugee tents. oo
am thrilled to receive a copyof, yet, another book of ShortStories by Shri M. K. Raina,wri t ten in streamlined
Devanagri script of Kashmiri language.It is, indeed a great pleasure andprivilege to put forth my thoughts thatthis latest publication of Shri Rainahas aroused in my mind and review,as far as possible, its contents. Ahundred paged book, published byโExpressionsโ, Vasai, Dist. Thane andpriced at Rs. 30.00, contains five shortstories in Kashmiri language, revolvingon the theme, that the title of this bookupholds. The five stories reveal fivecommonly occurring situations, within-depth focus on the psyche that isassociated with Kashmiri life and therealities thereof.
โkรฉnh nรณn, kรฉnh sรณnโ, literallymeans โsomething apparent andsomething underneath the depthsโ,but if one ponders on this thoughtfully,it shapes as a philosophy, a realitywhich everyone realizes in life that,in our every day happenings there isas much invisible under the layers oftime and space as is apparent to thenaked eye. As the surface of an oceanreveals a magnitude of panorama asseen by the eyes, but, underneath inits depths, there is a phenomena oftime and space which reveals itselfdifferently and diversely at differentoccasions, as one goes into the depthsand looks around with binoculars ofperceptions and observation.

become a well-known person in ourKashmiri circles, he is associatedwith. Born in 1948 in Kashmir, he isby profession an engineer. Till 1990,he remained engaged in Kashmir withpostings in different parts of Kashmirwhich provided his keen eyes anabundance of Nature and its bountiesthat Kashmir abounds in. Thisemployment, however, did not lastlonger and with exodus of KashmiriPandits, he was also displacedinternally, firstly to Jammu for fiveyears as a refugee and then with ashade of better circumstances, hemigrated to Mumbai where he ispresently based apparently undersatisfactory environs of opportunitieswhich he has been in keen look outwhole of his life. He has created aworld of his own in Kashmiri literallycircles, as a writer of Kashmiri proseand poetry, as a linguist for Kashmirilanguage, its streamlined Devnagriscript and computer friendly fonts,reproducing Kashmiri classics, presentday literature that is, surprisingly,getting generated abundantly indifferent scripts and fonts of Kashmirilanguage. He is associated with manyjournals that our KashmiriOrganizations bring out at differentplaces in the country, being a prolificwriter of Kashmiri prose and poetry ofcontemporary interests. It is alwaysrefreshing to visit his websitewww.mkraina.com
This apparent, vast and variedbackground has provided him aninvisible insight with depth, in looking
Sept. - Oct. 2006 cdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd Page 9
around the minute details of every daylife in general and in particular thepractices and nuances of a Kashmirias it obtained in Kashmir beforeterrorism over there, and now in awidespread diaspora, consequent toKashmiri Pandit exodus from theirancient homeland. His professionalexpertise has provided him a uniqueknow-how of engineering and reverseengineering as required inconstructing intense plots for complexsituations, getting in to attachmentsand detachments, with microscopicdetails and photo-finishing ofconceived relations and dramasthereof, layer by layer, with highpowered lens of his perceptions andobservations with visionary breadth ofheart and head. This is necessary forconstructing a macro structure ofhappenings of day to day lives as itobtained once upon a time and as itprevails presently. His l iterarylanguage is simple and sweet, as of acommon man in every day life. Havingresearched Kashmiri Proverbs, Vaaksand Shrukhs, he very skillfully chiselsinto the depths and engraves jewelsof Kashmiri idiom appropriately, tobroad band complex situationsremarkably and humorously. Thougha sufferer of Kashmiri Pandit internaldisplacement, his writings revealbroad mindedness, associated withKashmiriyat, maintaining in word andspirit the tenets of communalharmony. He has a keen eye on theinjustice that our women-folk havereceived and the focus is visible toreform the society in this respect. Hislife has been a visible struggle, as helost his father in early childhood andwas brought up under the care of hisgreat mother and as the saying goes
behind his outstanding contributions,there is a woman, his outstandingpartner of life and a happy family. Thisapparent acknowledgement of womengreatness is, rightly, becoming visibleand focused in his short stories, soare the intense situations throughwhich the down-trodden in our societypass.
With this as the background, thefirst story in this book is about โThuk-shukurโ which beautifully describesthe feudal practices followed by land-lords and money lenders in generaland in this situation in Kashmir, inparticular. โInterest on loan andinterest on interestsโ used to enslavethe common man in debts required forperforming the marriages of theiryoung ones. Though the system waseradicated in Kashmir immediatelyafter the partition of the country, whenthe peopleโs government came in powerover there in 1947, the practice is stillrelevant speaking generally. Withchanged times the values have alsochanged and this is revealed withgreat insight in this story where onebrother of old values suffers the pangsof this cruel system. But his vagabondbrother, whilst totally disrespectingthese values, offers timely succor tohis brother, in volunteering himself toserve the money lender to pay off theloans, and contrarily makes the life ofthe money lender miserable byfollowing the literal meaning of theproverbial commands, the lattergenerally gives, causing great harm tohim. The situation, in the process,becomes as tense for the money lenderas he prefers to forego the debt andget riddance from the vagabondemployee whose services he hadagreed to exploit in place of his older

brother who was growing weak underthe burden of age and prevailingcircumstances caused by hisadherence to old values and respectfor the employer. Kashmiri languageis remarkable for its treasures ofquality proverbs and idioms which, attimes, convey differently than whatthey literally mean. Mr. Raina has verycommendably chosen many suchproverbs which the younger brother ismaking use of in turning the tables inconfronting his master by following theliteral meaning of the proverbs. Thewhole drama thus provides ahumorous, interesting and literarypiece of literature.
The second story, โVathโ is focusingon a social situation, faced by KashmiriPandits, due to their beingdiscriminated for jobs leading to theirmigration beyond the limits of thestate, in search of bread and butterand subsequently by internaldisplacement after the onset ofterrorism in the state, which causedtheir large scale exodus from thevalley in 1990. The story describes thepains of this migration anddisplacement and reveals the valuesof โrelationshipโ, which prove mostlysuperficial at the moments of trials andtribulations. Even amongst thebrothers, sharing the accommodationwhich a migrant brother had createdat Delhi becomes unpleasant causingcrafty set back to his brother who wasdisplaced, lock stock and barrel byexodus. Though the sister-in-laws hadvery sympathetic relationship amongthemselves, the relations grew sour,as generally happens under suchsituations, between haves and havenots. In the process the parents sufferand die a sad death and the younger
brother has no alternative other thanreturning to Jammu for his survival.With better conditions he works hard,does well and succeeds in having hisown residence. On the inaugurationday, he invites the elder brotherโsfamily who visit them with an ulteriormotive. However, the brotherly relationreveals, blood is thicker than waterand the strained relations get onceagain corrected with changedcircumstances. The story ends on anoptimistic note when the elder brotherwills his Delhi property amongst thetwo sons, one his own and the otherthat of his brother. The whole is abrilliant plot of events and details,revealing the pains, migration andexodus of Kashmiri Pandits, hascaused in their real lives.
The third story โTabdeeli โ isrevealing a fascinating drama causedby the transfer, (Tabdeel i ) of adedicated off icer in Kashmiriambience, who had risen from amechanic to a Head Clerk over thirtyseven years of his service. By dint ofhis dedicated services, attachment ofaffection and love for his colleaguesand moral integrity, he created aniche for himself in the office. As usedto happen, this long service had madehim possessive of his job and was,therefore, very much upset with thetransfer order, a new boss had allowedto take place. As his all efforts toreverse this order, appeared to havenot proved purposeful, the dedicatedofficer gathers courage to accept thereality and prepare himself to face thechallenge caused by the transfer. Thestory reveals the clash of egos andsuch sensitivities very delicately. Hevisits the office in another town ofKashmir, in preparation of his move,
fey รฒp+kj cdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdc MILCHAR
Sept. - Oct. 2006 cdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd Page 11
and is thrilled to find some of the oldcolleagues who had served him andthe respect he was still commandingupon them. As per the Kashmiricalendar, which is an obsession withKashmiri psyche, it was veryauspicious for him to shift to his newoffice, by noon on a particular day. Tobe on time he sends his family andsome necessities of house hold to thesite of his transfer assuming he wouldrush as soon as the new boss giveshim the relieving orders, and reachtimely to suit the limitations causedby the calendar. The boss remainedbusy with some urgent meetings,could be in connection with the effortshe had decided to make in reversingthe transfer orders of this Head Clerk,who was an asset to his organization.Just before noon, the boss reaches theoffice and instead of signing therelieving orders, he gives him themessage that he had got his transferorders reversed. What a climax! He isvisibly upset and all his colleaguesheave a sigh of relief and congratulatehim for having been retained in thesame off ice. The story again isrevealing the values old order hathand what it means to keep pace withthe changing times. It also describesartistically the relationships that usedto exist in offices providing stability,security and selfโrespect. Even thepeon was respected and he wasextended all courtesies that used tobe in vogue amongst the top heirarchy.Mr. Raina has succeeded in picturingthe emotions and feelings as an artistof appropriate words, expressions andmeaningful proverbs.
The fourth story, โShamimaโdescribes the communal harmony weused to have in Kashmir which is also
referred to as โKashmiriyatโ. It detailsthe lives of two families in Kashmir,one a Hindu and the other a Muslim,both living as very close relatives,always at the beck and call of eachother. Both have only a daughter,which grow together as very closefriends. After graduating from thecollege, the parents make intenseefforts, as is the usual practice, tosearch for the matches of theirdaughters and both are married withgreat expectations. The Hindudaughter, Tosha, migrates to Kolkatawhere her husband finds a suitablejob and the Muslim daughter,Shamima, settles with her husbandwho, as desired by her parents, was abusiness man. Though distancescreate visible barriers, the two familiesand their daughters remain in closeand constant touch with each other.Tosha, in course of time, gives birth toa son and Shamima to a daughter. Forsome time things are apparently allright, but under the covers, the thingsturn volcanic with Shamima, as herhusband wants to give her a divorceand marry other girl for whom he hadlong standing infatuation. A storm getscreated in both the families butShamima, being a lady, is destined tosuffer. However, the deal is settledand divorce entitles Shamima tomonetary benefits and also with thepossession of her daughter, Bunty.Shamimaโs parents feel distressedwith this happening. Shamima,however, gathers courage and shestands by her parents, consoling themthat she was, as if, their son, alwayswith them for al l intents andpurposes. Lot happens in between andshe finally joins the school as ateacher despite lot of opposition from
fey รฒp+kj cdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdc MILCHAR
Sept. - Oct. 2006 cdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd Page 12
her parents. The Head Mistressdevelops a great liking for Shamimaand in her mind wishes her to marryher brother who had recently lost hiswife.The Head mistress, creates thesituations and gets the remarriage ofher brother, though much senior inage, solemnized with Shamima despiteall apparent opposition. Originally, itwas agreed that Shamimaโs daughterwould also live with her mother butthis does not become acceptable to herhusband as someone advises him thatthis would deprive his son, from hisdeceased wife, of love and affectionfrom Shamima as she would in thatcase be partial to her own daughter.Despite all efforts to the contrary,Shamima has to reconcile, being awoman, to leave her daughter underthe care of her parents and pass thedays with her new husband at the costof her happiness. Days pass on likethis and one day to make the Eidpurchases, Shamimaโs husband waswaiting for her to return from school,when he looks upwards to the nest ofa sparrow on the ceil ing of hisverandah ,where he was waiting. Themother sparrow was comforting heryoung one when the husband ordersto get the nest uprooted. This causesa commotion to the mother sparrowwho apparently gets broken down andbreast beaten to find her young onekilled. This creates a change of heartin Shamimaโs husband who nowrealizes the pain that Shamima mustbe having, being separated from herdaughter. He immediately reverseshis aversions and brings her daughterto live with them. Shamima returnsfrom her school and finds to herimmense joy, her daughter and stepson playing together as brother and
sister. This makes her feel that thoughher husband was much senior to herin age, he was still with a human heartand she develops great admiration andaffection for her husband. With thishappy feeling, the story comes to aconclusion with optimism that stillthere is humanity left in our society.
The fifth story is โZaan-Dedโ, whichliterally means the โmother of identityโ.It portrays the tragedy which ourheritage is suffering due to ourchanged circumstances,displacements and exodus. Zaan Dedweathers the onslaughts in herhomeland, refusing to come out, as didhappen to the people who were takingher care but were compelled to getdisplaced for so many reasons. Sheweathers the snow storms andtyphoons but remains in her abode andall the migrants in far off corners failto reach her to take possession of theheritage that is thus left in thehomeland. Whosoever, tries to bringher reaches her alone or when it istoo late and in the process they onlyget killed unable to carry her throughthe frost and bite of the times. Still,Zaan Ded is hoping against hope thatone moonlit night her heirs will appearcrossing the barriers of time and spaceand give her a helping hand.

roadly speaking, when justiceand right are denied to aperson over a longer period oftime, the person is left with
two options: bear the situationpatiently, or the reaction is anguish,and that reaction, in the processculminates into terrorism. Besidesother things, spreading of communalhatred, religious frenzy, separatisttendency etc. are the tools whichterrorists generally use. Guns too areused to achieve the so-called specifiedmission. Fanaticism, extremism,radicalism, separatism, militancy,activism etc. are its other names ormanifestations. This is one side of thepicture of terrorism (terrorists fighting
for a genuine cause i.e. liberatingthemselves, their society/countryfrom the oppressor/ perpetrator).Another side of the picture isdisgusting and questionable.

Apart from natural beauty, Jammuand Kashmir has a unique culturalblend which makes it different fromthe rest of the country (India). It isnot only distinct in cultural forms andheritage, but in geographical,demographical, ethnical, socialentities, forming a distinct spectrumof diversity. The people of Kashmir,Jammu and Ladakh, all follow diversereligion, language and culture, butcontinuously intermingling whichsymbolizes Indian Unity amidst
Diversity. Its different cultural formslike art and architecture, fair andfestivals, rites and rituals, seers andsages, languages and literatures,embedded in ageless period of history,speak of endless unity and diversitywith unparalleled cultural cohesionand amicability. Kashmir has been agreat centre of learning. A treasure of

the status of an independentStatehood. In the case of Kashmir,where Maharaja (King) Hari Singh wasthe ruler, s i tuation worsenedconsiderably. Territorial disputes overKashmir had already started brewing,Pakistan claiming that Kashmir shouldgo to his side since Muslims were inmajority there. Apprehending thatMaharaja might opt for an accessionto India, Pakistan prepared for anaggression in a bid to capture the Stateforcibly hoping that masses, mainly
Muslims, would support its mission butthat didnโt happen. Secular forcesheaded by the then popular massleader Sheikh Mohammad Abdullahfondly known as Sher-i-Kashmirmotivated the Kashmiri people(Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs) to riseto the occasion and stand united tocounter and frustrate the evil designsof the enemy who was marching to thecapital city Srinagar indulging inbloodshed and mayhem. A new sloganechoed the entire valley: โHamlavarkhabardaar, hum Kashmiri hai tayaar-Hindu Muslim Sikh Ithaad, Naya Kashmir
Zindabaadโโ Beware you attackers!We Kashmiris are ready to counteryouโLong live the Unity of Hindus,Muslims and Sikhs-!!โ At HazuriBagh, Srinagar before a large crowdon October 1, 1947, Sher-i-Kashmirproclaimed: "Till the last drop of myblood, I will not believe in two-nationtheory." It was a rebuff to Mr. Jinnah-father of the nation of Pakistan, whowas watching the developments soclosely from his country side. Findingtheir designs on Kashmir notfructifying, Pakistan rulers launchedan armed attack on Jammu andKashmir to annex it. Tribes inthousands along with Pak regulartroops entered the State on October22, 1947 from several points andindulged in loot, arson, rape, bloodshedand mayhem. Bowing before thewishes of the people and seeing hisown regular army being out-numberedand to push back the invaders, theMaharaja signed the Instrument ofAccession in favour of India on October26, 1947 on the prescribed terms andconditions. This was accepted by theGovernor General of India, LordMountbatten the next day. TheInstrument of Accession executed byMaharaja Hari Singh was the samewhich was signed by other rulers ofthe other princely States. Similarly,the acceptance of the Instrument ofAccession by the Governor Generalwas also identical in respect of allsuch instruments.
With J&K becoming legal andconstitutional part of Union of India,Indian army rushed to the State topush back the invaders and vacateaggression from the territory of theState.

place in the oldentimes. It was sti l l aplace of KP devotees.This Teertha has beenmentioned in somehistories on Kashmir.Zurhom : 'hom' is theword derived fromAshram. Ashrams were constructedfor saints and learned scholars so thatthey could carry on the meditation and
creative work at ease, away from thehustle and bustle of towns and cities.Zurhom (Kupwara) is a famous Teerthawhich was the last station to reachthe world famous teertha of โShardaโwhich is under the control of Pakistannow. From Zurhama about six hoursjourney on foot comes Sharda(ShardaโDesa of Kashmir).
During recent excavations made atZurhama by the state ArchaeologyDepartment, important statues havebeen found. These are: 1) BhagwanVishnu riding on โGarudaโ. 2)Meditative Budha in โMudraโ and 3)Yakhsha Mukh Shiva (a veryinteresting find). There was a DeviMandir also, where devotees used tocome.

There were great โViharasโ,โChaiteysโ and Gumpas in wholeof Kashmir. I personally haveseen a statue of Budha, two feethigh having a small Vihara atits back. It was found whiledigging in a Pyrithrum Form atZainapora (District Pulwama).Later I met the curator ofLalmandi Museum Sh.J.L.Bhan, a friend of mine, whogot the statue in the museum.It was stated that the statue wasfourteen hundred years old. Itis about ten years prior tomigration. What I mean to sayis that the statues of Buddhawere made with aesthetic senseof art from stone, metal, woodand ivory in Kashmir and manyof these master pieces exist inthe famous museums of theworld. This shows thatBuddhism had stretched itsroots in the whole Valley. Thereis much more to say on thisaccount, but this article isrestricted to the teerthas of NorthernKashmir only.Bhadrakali : Kali is the Goddessrevered everywhere in our country.Bhadra-Kali is about seven kilometersfrom Handwara. The statue of Kali issaid to be natural on the top of thehill. On Mahanawmi โ Teher and
Charvanโ was taken to this place bythe people of Handwara and Kupwara.It is interesting to note that migrantsfrom this area, even go from Jammuto pay their obscene to this greatGoddess. The teertha is on the hill.One Km. distance of ascending the hillis covered by foot. BSF has constructed
a new temple on the grandstatue of Kali.Saadeh Maaleyun : It is a veryfamous teertha of Kashmir. Thisis a wonderful place, whereSadhu Ganga (rivulet) flows. Busfrom Handwara to SaadehMaleyun is available. One and ahalf kilometer distance is to betracked on foot from the bus stopto this auspicious place. Manypoets, including me have usedthis name in various creativepieces of poetry. As is clearlyknown from the name, the placewas famous, as many saints livedthere for Sadhana. It is said thata large piece of land wasattached to this place for themaintenance of the Ashram.Langar was run daily to give foodto the saints and the devotees,who attended this Teertha.Some years back it is said, thatthe Pujari of this great place ofworship was hanged to death.Nobody goes to this place of peaceand beauty now. Saadeh
Maaleyun will remain in the books, butour younger generation must be madeaware of our great heritage.Tikkar (Kupwara) : About two kmsfrom Kupwara on the Kupwara-Chowkibal road is Tikkar. The place isin a forest. It was told to me that therewas a temple of Raagneya Bhagwati

at this fine place. Tikkar was seen bypeople even up to the year when massmigration of Pandits took place. Therewas a beautiful Ashram, some greatsaints dwelt here and devotees wouldcome from far off places to see thisAshram of learning. Sh. Moti Lal Saqihas told me that he used to visit thisplace almost once or twice a year. Hewould tell me the wonder-stories ofthis place of importance.Ram Takht (Seat of Rama) : Theplace is situated in the forest ofKralpora. Ram-Kund and Sita-Kundare also situated here. Due to bigsnakes rare people have seen thisplace.
One Pandit Kashi Nath, who is aBrahmin told me at Udhampur, that
he has visited this place once afterfacing many dangers in the wayleading to this place. One can not say,whether Lord Rama has come to thisplace or the Teertha has been namedon the name of this famous king ofAyodheya.Bumy : It is a very famous village. Ithas its own history. Gouripur (Nowcalled Goorepur-a place of milk sellers)is near Bumy. It was told to me thatSwami Nand Lal of village Hashru didhis long course of Meditation here.SHIV, Harvan : These are two placesdedicated to lord Shiva. โ Shivaโ is atone kilometer distance from Yembran
(old name Amravati). There is a statueof Shiva and one gets remedy from painwhile bathing in the near by sevensprings.Harvan, the forest of Hara (Shiva) isnear the village Tujar. There is aspring, and Shiv Lingam at this placechanges sides. Devotees used to visitthis place of wonder.Chandigham : One and a half km fromSogam, where there is a Mahaganeshatemple, Chandigham is reached.Chandi means the ferocious mood ofKali to destroy demons. At this placeis a spring of โ Chandi Mataโ down thehill. About twenty Pandit houses werethere prior to migration.Wilchgam : It is situated at a distanceof 3 kms from Kralpora village. There
is an old temple of Nandkeshwara. Thefamous temple of this deity is nearSumbal and Dr. Agni Shekhar haswritten a book in Hindi on the greatdevotee of Shiva.Gushi : Gushi was a big village of K.Ps.They were the Masters of grandorchards. Mangala Devi Temple issituated in Gushi. There is the storyof a โDevdaar Treeโ which gave bloodwhen cut by some local people and inthe morning the tree was again seenstanding by these people.

Some of the facts of various Teerthas mentioned in this articlewere told to me by Sh. Omkar Nath Pandit Darvesh and hisworthy Mrs and daughter. Darvesh (a Saint) is their ancestralname of their great grand father - Jewan Pandit Darvesh, whowas a spiritual saint of high order.

raqi had even issued ordersthat everyday about 1500 to2000 Brahmans be brought tohis doorsteps, remove their
sacred threads, administer Kalima tothem, circumcise them and makethem eat beef. These decreeswere ferociously and brutallycarried out. The Hindureligious scriptures from 7thcentury AD onwards and about18 magnificent temples weredestroyed, propertyconfiscated and ladiesabused. Thousands ofBrahmans killed themselvesto evade this horrif icbarbarism and thousandsmigrated to other places,resulting in their third tragicmass exodus from the SaffronValley of Kashmir. Those whostayed behind were not onlyforced to pay jazia, but theirnoses and ears were choppedoff. To escape the tremendouspain and agony, they cried. โIam not a Hindu.โ
After Kashmir, the nextdestination of Iraqi for waragainst so-called infidelitywas Kargil. It is now a Shia โdominated area and there arefrequent sectarian clashes betweenthem and the Buddhists.
In AD 1519, about ten thousandKashmiri Pandits died duringpilgrimage to Harmukh Ganga, wherethey had gone to immerse the ashes
of those eight hundredHindus who had beenmassacred duringAshura a year before.Poet-historian Sukasays about this

mass conversion of the Hindus.However, he could not administer hiscriminal designs because of theMughal annexation.
Akbar was tremendouslyinfluenced by the amazing moralsupremacy of the Kashmiri Pandits.Abul Fazl records in Ain-i-Akbari, "Themost respectable class in this country(Kashmir) is that of the Pandits, who,notwithstanding their need forfreedom from the bonds oftradition and custom, arethe true worshippers ofGod. They do not loosentheir tongue of calumnyagainst those not of theirfaith, nor beg, norimportune. They employthemselves in plantingfruit trees and aregenerally a source ofinspiration for othersโ.The great MughalEmperor abolished jazia and otherunjust taxes imposed upon theHindus. He also evinced great interestin the rehabilitation of the Pandits.Suka says, โ The Emperor announcedthat he would without delay rewardthose who would respect theBrahmans in Kashmir and that hewould instantly pull down the housesof those who would demand the annualtribute from them.โ
The greatness of Akbar lies in hismagnificent and fascinating policy ofreligious tolerance. Jahangir andShah Jahan were not so tolerant. Buttheir religious enthusiasm cannot betermed as fanatic. During this period,the Brahmans could perform theirreligious ceremonies after payingsome tribute. But the whole scenario
changed with the accession ofAurangzeb to the throne. With hisbigoted fanatic and dogmatic approach,the Kashmiri Pandits were once againmade vulnerable. Iftkar Khan, theMughal governor of Kashmir during thereign of Aurangzeb, brutally tyrannizedover the Brahmans to such an extentthat they approached Guru TegBhahadur, the ninth Sikh Guru, atAnandpur in Punjab and solicited his
personal intervention with theEmperor. This ultimately led to theGuruโs martyrdom and made GuruGobid Singh to create the Khalsa tofight the oppressors. Muzaffer Khan,Nassar Khan and Ibrahim Khan wereother governors of Aurangzeb whoferociously terrorized the KashmiriPandits. These celebrated scapegoatswere once again forced to migrate fromthe land of their origin. It was thefourth disastrous mass exodus of theAryan Saraswat Brahmans fromKashmir.
During the rule of later Mughals,Kashmir witnessed the outbreak ofthe worst kind of religious intolerance.In AD 1720, Mullah Abdul Nabi, alsocalled Muhat Khan, a non-residentKashmiri Muslim, was appointed as

Shaikh-ul-Islam. In order to assert hisreligious authority, he asked theDeputy Governor, Mir Ahmed Khan, tostart a campaign of persecution of theKafirs (infidels) - as the KashmiriPandits were called. In order to satisfyhis satanic ego, the Mulla issued sixcommandments:1. No Hindu should ride a horse, norshould a Hindu wear a shoe;2. That they should not wear Jama(Mughal costume);3. That they should move bare arms;4. That they should not visit anygarden;5. That they should not have tilak markon their foreheads;6. That their children should notreceive any education.But Ahmed Khan refused to executethe mischievous decree. The Mullahthen excited his followers against theKashmiri Pandits. He established hisseat in a mosque, assumed the dutiesof the administrator under the title ofDindar Khan and let loose the reignof terror. The Hindus were wickedlytormented, their houses burnt andproperty looted. Hundreds ofBrahmans were killed, prostrated,maimed and humiliated. They beganto run away in large numbers and hide
themselves in mountainous terrain.This was the fifth dreadful massexodus of the legendary KashmiriPandits from their mystic motherland.Those who remained behind lived in
the most horrif ic and terribleconditions generated by the Mullahand his gang. But soon he wasassassinated by his rivals and his son,Sharif-ud-Din, become the newShaikhul-Islam. The son improvedupon the brutal methods of his fatherand inflicted most barbaric, cruel andinhuman tortures upon the vulnerableBrahmans. The plight of the KashmiriPandits during this period becametremendously miserable and tragic.
The Afghan rule in Kashmir (AD1753-1819) was a period of cruelty,homicide and anarchy. W.R. Lawrencecalls it the โreign of brutal tyranny.โThe barbarous Afghans employed everywild, inhuman, primitive, ferocious,cruel and brutal method to suppressthe Kashmiri Brahmans. A pitcherfilled with ordure was placed on thehead of a Pandit and stones were pelton it, till it broke and the unfortunateBrahman become wet with filth. Theirbrutality and atrocity crossed theextreme limits when Hindus were tiedup in grass sacks, two and two, anddrowned in the Dal Lake.
The victimized Hindu were forcedto flee the country or were killed orconverted to Islam. There was horriblemass exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits,
sixth one, to far away places likeDelhi, Allahabad, etc. Many coveredthe long distances on foot.

meet one or the other, they seemedto be very indifferent. Some kind oftransformation had taken place. Wasit they had grown older or matured?Was it I had returned after a coupleof years and the change had comeabout within me? Lots of questionsbut no answers. In retrospection it wasour ignorance. No one among usrealizing the dirty trick that wasshaping unabatedly to swallow us up.
In 1985 when I asked some of myKP friends why the Muslims hadchanged their dress code, wearinglong shirts and silwars, I was told thatit was a Bollywood film influence. I hadseen on TV news from Pakistan thatthe city image was similar than it usedto be in Srinagar.
I went to see Majid at his CulturalAcademy office of Lal Mandi. Anorderly told me that he was upstairsin his office. A wooden veranda led tohis room at the end. The chair wherehe was supposed to sit was empty.Suddenly he had vanished ? In theroom there was another curtaineddoor, may be leading to some otherrooms. For the sake of courtesy I didnโttouch the curtain. I waited and waitedbut he did not turn up. The adjoiningroom was filled with about ten totwelve persons whose glimpse I hadcaught before entering Majidโs room. Ilooked around from the veranda andagain saw the room with persons.Although it was an office, the personsseemed to fuss over some mattersother than culture or office work?Some of them did not seem to be likeKashmiri Muslims at all.
I realised afterwards that mypresence had caused some sort of stir.I was an irritant. One of them in the
room uncongenially gave me tounderstand that I should better gothan keep waiting for the person. Ipenned down a note and left back apackage of bananas on the table formy friend. Majid never showed up.
Half a year later in 1988 Majid hadto rush to Chandigarh. His father hadbeen taken ill and he was referredfrom Soura Hospital to PGI. At Srinagarhe had collected my brother's addressfrom my friend Ashwani. AtChandigarh he along with his cousinand another friend had dropped inwithout hesitation at my brother'splace to seek his help at PGI. Theywere served tea and promised help bymy brother. My father wrote this tome, โMajid told me that you had beento his office twice but he had been out.He told me here to write to you for apardon.โ
Another friend known as Mehboobtold me that some time back Majid hadgone to โa foreign countryโ. He did notelucidate except saying that Majid wassaying if Kapil could go to a foreigncountry, why couldnโt he? It could bethat he had been to Iran or to POKillegally, I guess!
I went to Shafiโs home at FatehKadal. Earlier his mother Lalla wouldhave embraced me and his two sisters,would have come out running andsmiling. but this time they even didnot get up to greet me. There was roomonly for a formal conversation thattook place, they sitting in their wot andme standing outside the window intheir house compound. I felt uneasybecause I had not known them likethis ever before! Mohd. Shafi took meto a room on the first floor. I noticed

Biradari News Biradari Newsl Justice 4 Priyadarshini Mattoo -Santosh Singh awarded Deathsentence in Mattoo murder case :Priyadarshini Mattoo has finally gotjustice. The Delhi High Courtconvicted Santosh Kumar Singh of therape and murder of Priyadarshini 10years ago. Delivering the verdict in apacked courtroom, a division bench ofjustices R.S.Sodhi and P.K.Bhasinstrongly criticised the judgment of thetrial court that had acquitted Santoshseven years ago for lack of evidenceagainst him. The prosecuting agency,the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI), was seeking death sentence forSantosh. On December 3, 1999,Additional Sessions Judge G.P.Tharejahad given Santosh the 'benefit ofdoubt', although the judge said heknew the accused 'was the personwho committed the crime'. The highcourt said the trial court was wrongin doing so. โBy acquitting theaccused, despite being convinced thatthere was no doubt in theprosecutionโs case, the trial court hasmauled justice. Its decision hasshocked the conscience of the court,โthe bench said. The court said it wasclear that police had initially tried tosabotage the probe under theinfluence of Santoshโs father, then anIPS officer. Some key witnesses werenot examined to help the accused. Butthe trial judge had 'quite amazinglygiven a perverse judgment' even afterholding all the circumstantialevidence in favour of the prosecution.Santoshโs acquittal had led to strong
public reaction, and had triggered adebate on whether justice was beyondthe reach of the common man.Although the CBI, which had beenpulled up for its handling of the case,filed an appeal against the verdict inthe high court in 2000, the case wasbrought out of cold storage only thisyear after a sustained public campaign.The acquittals in the Jessica Lallmurder case this year added to thepublic uproar. (Input courtesy:hindustatimes.com)Latest: On 30th October 2006, theHonourable High Court of Delhiawarded Death sentence to SantoshSingh, citing it as a 'Rarest of the Rare'case. KPA and Milchar congratulatethose young people of the communityespecially Aditya Kaul and Indu Jalali,who spear-headed the movement'Justice 4 Priyadarshini Mattoo' andmobilised public opinion for severepunishment to the culprit.

* Homage to Late Shri J.N.Kachroo:I first met Shri Kachroo about 1997-1998. He was a handsome man with anoble bearing and always remindedme of my maternal grandfather Pt.Nand Lalji Kitroo, a great Educationistin his times.
I once read Shri Kachrooโs articleabout his sad experience at Baramullain 1947. My heart took a leap into thepast. My Father who was a Lecturerat St. Josephโs College, Baramullaescaped the holocaust by a whisker.We fled Baramulla on Sunday morningand the Qaballis (Raiders) landed onMonday night. My association with Shri Kachroowas limited to Lalla Ded Educational& Welfare Trust activit ies. Hisenthusiasm was enormous. It eggedme on. I remember him when wevisited Vasai-Virar area in search forland for the School. He always walkedin the lead giving others courage andhope. Had the Trust succeeded in itsendeavour, surely Shri Kachroo wouldhave been its first Principal andadvisor. Shri Kachroo is no more amidst us.Lalla Ded Educational & Welfare Trustis also no more in effect. Nonethelesshis absence will be felt whenever wethink of his best contribution to theCommunity - 'PROJECT ZAAN'. Luckyare those born in Shri KachrooโsFamily. May God Bless and give themcourage.

* 'Sharda Sadan' :The name itself makes one standproud and tall. I congratulate those
* Letters *who had the courage to dream this.
It is my observation that there isan invisible divide between KPs livingEast of Chembur and those on theWest. This year the Annual Hawan washeld at Khargar for the very first time(would be Home for Sharda Sadan). Inoticed very little attendance by KPsliving in the West. Quid Pro Quo. Youdonโt come to my Hawan why should Icome to yours. Perhaps ?? For Fund raising KPA has set up aCore group of Nine. Under the ableleadership of Shri Makhan Lal Matoo,the group will certainly do KPA proud.Their Conviction, Influence andHonesty of Purpose will fetch them thedesired/required Crore, no meanachievement.
However not withstanding allabove, it is my humble opinion that thisProject can wait. After all KP Refugeespost-Independence waited over 3decades to achieve their dreamKashyap Bhavan. So what is the hurry.Displaced KPs post-1989 can wait adecade if need be. There are moreSerious and Pressing concerns athand - the Displaced KPs or Migrantsstill living in miserable conditions inJammu Camps. I request the KPA Trustto urgently deliberate on this and ifdeemed fit do the necessary. Take thisCrore and head for Jammu. Constructmay be 40 or more Pucca/decentstructures of about 500 sft (no frills)on the land already occupied by thesemigrants. Give them some relief andrespectable surroundings to live in. The Community can provide freeof cost โ Planners, Architects, CivilEngineers, Logistic SupportSupervisors etc. Material may bepurchased at a discount from somelocal sympathetic suppliers. Let

Mumbai KPs lead the way- Avtar K. Misri
* Kashmiri Literature :Dear M.K.Raina "รณrzรน, dรณr kรณth".I have no words to thank you for thework you are doing to preserve theliterature written during the period ofmigration of Kashmiri Pandits.
Your selfless and honorary workwill be written in golden letters, whensomebody like you writes the historyof this crucial period in black & whitei.e. very honestly but critically. As forI am concerned, I did not do muchduring the last 16 years but only thetragedy of driving away the oldestcommunity of Kashmir in our owncountry remained, cutting my eachnerve day and night. During the pasttwo years after spending nearly twolac rupees, doctors could not give mebit of relief from my trouble. But thepen did not stop to write whatever Ifelt. It was Kashmir only whichcrunched me always. Bearing theheaviness of my left arm, I wrote whatcame to my mind. It is your grace thatit is now preserved on internet for theresearchers of the coming times to dojustice to it.
My total works are nearly twenty.The 'Neelmat Puran' is coming thisyear. The album 'Sangarmaal' is nowcomplete and will be released soon.The 'vร vas kรบn' (To the Wind) attachedherewith, is a longer statementalpoem, sending my words through thewind. I wish some organisation comesforward to featurise the poem.
I once again thank you for your goodwishes for me and the work you aredoing to preserve Kashmiri language,culture and history.

* Shri N.N.Pandit :I feel the death of Shri Niranjan NathPandit as a personal loss to myself, for,Pt. Niranjan Nath during my stay atMumbai around late 1940's looked onme as his brother. I am determined tospeak that he always stood up for theweak and oppressed. I deeply mournhis death and share the grief with hisfamily. May God bless his soul. I willcherish for ever his magnetic charmand the qualities that made him sucha wonderful companion and a truefriend. I say, he is not dead, he is justaway.
- Manmohan Ambardar, Satara.
it on net for benefit of the generalmasses. His publications have a placein our libraries and in the curriculumof Kashmiri language courses. The dayis nearing fast when his works will berecognized for literary awards andrewards. It is an eye opener that hehas to spend from his pocket forbringing out all these treasures of ourcontemporary Kashmiri literature.Whilst bringing awareness to thisshocking reality, I wish MaharajKrishen Ji all the best and manylaurels and recognitions he deserves.

the old house had undergone somemodifications. He had joined KashmirAdministrative Services (KAS) afterdoing MA in English from KU. We sat,talked about this and that, God andthe world. We never met again. It wasa relationship like a knife that hadturned blunt. You could no longer useit. ;;
