Jammu needs to rethink strategy to get rid of Kashmir

The agitation in Jammu has reached a critical juncture and attained a mass, which could term it as Peoples Movement. Launch of civil disobedience is a step in right direction and it will give a peaceful outlet to the anger of the masses.
But, the Sangharsh samiti and the people of Jammu must realize that this is the time of reckoning as such Jammu should not repeat the mistakes committed by Kashmir. Kashmir valley has been burning for the last 20 years, bandhs, hartals, guns, violence and killings have brought nothing to the people there.

As such Jammu has to understand the psyche of India and people have to realize the fact that strategic interests are far more important to the government of India than the human rights of Jammu or the religious values or dignity of Hindus
Government of India can not lose Kashmir and this is the reason that despite 50 days of violent protests in Jammu, the Home Minister, the Prime Minister and the Indian media appear to take the side of Kashmiris. This surprises the people of Jammu, they ask how could India reward secessionists at the cost of nationalists.
Although BJP has put it as a battle of nationalists Vs Separatists in J&K, but believe me as soon as it gets power, it will conveniently forget Jammu, forget abolition of 370 and forget the Uniform Civil Code. Though BJP has done well to support the cause of Jammu , but it has led to the agitation being branded communal but pseudo-secularists have their own compulsions.

The Amarnath Sangarsh Samiti will have to understand that anger of Jammuites is a result of 60 years of slavery and Amarnath land is a means and not an end in itself. Samiti will have to incorporate the larger interests of the people of Jammu that include political equality, equality in development, infrastructure and everything dealt by the state.

It is high time Jammu demands a separate autonumous regional body on the lines of Ladakh Council within the framework of Jammu and Kashmir and India..And importantly the muslims, paharis, gujjars and budhists should be promised and assured equality in everything.

Let Kashmiris be free from India and Jammu and Jammuites get rid of the Kashmir stone, which has been tied to their necks for the ast sixty years. Agitating without strategising is of no use and our short and long terms goals should be achieved by the agitation.
