Jail Bharo Andolan

Let me begin by saying that to understand this piece of article you have to think a little out of the box. Well if you are still grappling about what the box means here, then I am referring to national media or news channels which are orchestrated outside India by some religious fanatics who want to end the oldest religion in the world i.e. Hinduism. The irony is that the self made media analysts, of Hindu and Indian origin, are executing such a plan for money. I am sure by now you must be thinking where the hell is "Jail Bharo Andolan" in all this after almost 50 words. Well you got the point now, where is Jammu's news even after 50 days of agitation and more than 50x4 thousands people who took to streets fearlessly to support the Aamarnath Sangarsh Samiti's call for "Jail Bharo Andolan".

Now for the andolan, all the jails or police stations in Jammu and neighboring districts were full and thousands of nationalist protesters, large no of which were women, courted arrest themselves. The police have to make nationalists stay in the nearby degree college which was also full with nationalists. The security agencies itself places the estimated number of people who courted arrest themselves as 70,000. The police were not expecting so many nationalist protesters to turn up for the mass court arrest call by the samiti and therefore, there was no adequate arrangements for water or food in police stations. According to the highly placed sources SMS in and out of the Jammu region are blocked. ( For complete information visit

Separatist have demanded for a free Kashmir and termed there agitation as a freedom movement. But, how can any true nationalist accept that even after knowing the sacrifice made by Indian soldiers in various wars (1948, 1965, 1971 and Kargil). How can anyone forget about Kashmiri Pandits who had to flee there own land because of separatists after more than 20 years of Independence. Everyone of us have the right to defend his religious faith and identity. The land transfer didn't hurt anyone's religious sentiments but its revocation rightly did to the Hindus in Hindustan. A fight for one's religious faith and preserving a nation's land from going to the hands of separatists can neither be termed as communal nor it can be unjustified.

In fact such a mass ignorance by the media or anyone else is a national and cultural crime. It can only be termed as an effort to downplay the oldest manuscript 'Geeta', the oldest known civilization and religion 'Hinduism' and true diversity and cultural values of India by separatist and the national media.
