Amarnath Land Row

For the past one month, Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir is on a boil. Let us break all events apart and see where the actual problem is and how it stared in the first place. The Congress(I) and PDP were in coalition in the state, and it was under the PDP's CM rule that the legalities of land transfer was looked into. The resolution was passed in the J&K assembly under The Congress(I) CM's rule to transfer 40 acres of land to The Amarnath Shrine Board.

The yatara(travel) to the shrine (Hindu temple) is going on from 150 years and with the local support of Muslims of the valley. Everyone admires and respects that. But, if the land was not required to better the facilities for the devotees or to increase the devotees head count then to look into the legalities for land transfer and then passing the bill in the J&K assembly was either a mockery in the first place or was done to get Hindu vote in an election year. or If the land was required to increase the head count of devotees, then the revocation of such an order is like creating an economic blocked for the local people of the valley as more tourist would have come to the valley.

Now, in opposition to the land transfer were mostly the ideology that, first it is against the sovereign Kashmir which to millions of Indians is totally absurd cause they have never seen Kashmir not being the part of India. Second, that the government is trying to settle Hindu's in Kashmir and disturbing the demographics. Though, same people were either mute spectators or were involved in the atrocities on the kashmiri pandits community (Hindus) years back.

First, the separatist oppose a development plan which would have brought more revenues in the hands of the people of the valley directly from the increased tourists or devotees, then suddenly say that India is indifferent to minorities (Muslim) for whom the government spends millions of dollars for a safe, sound and better Haj pilgrimage. I guess it is because of these reasons that the ongoing Amarnat Sangharsh Samiti's agitation is Nationalist in a Hindu dominated country and communal because the separatist are putting salt on the wounds of millions of Kashmiri pundits and thereby on Hindus in India.

Now for the Solution :

The solution is simple but requires great courage for a leader, in the hardest time (election year). You have to address the nation and explain that neither Hindu sentiments nor Muslim sentiments or for that matter not any of religious sentiments will be hurt in India. India, won't be divided on religious, regional grounds by any separatist's and that every religion and every region has to accommodate others sentiments. It is therefore, necessary for the leader and every politician and most importantly the so called (every media) intellectuals to rise above there patrons (Sonia Gandhi, RSS, Funding Institutions) politics and condemn the revocation order and deal firmly with the separatists. Also, scrap the Ram Setthu Project and built the Babri Masjid back where it was.
