Kashmiri’s have demonstrated once again that they are not
menial, least than other developed societies. They have social revivalist more
superior than Karl Marx in the stone-form of Gulzar Peer and industrialist more
superior than Vijay Mallya in the
ugly-form of Mustaq Peer.
Mushtaq Peer has disproved the Romans that Rome was not
built in a day (an act that Americans would take thousands of years to master).
His wealth making industry is unique because no person has been as successful
as he (Farooq Abdullah has not been as successful although his years of slavery
and loyalty of the Indian state!).
But, I am surprised to see people, columnists, writers, critiques,
social scientists, etc. faming themselves, criticizing him as though he is the
first person who has misused his position (and only!). All officers except a
few are corrupt in Kashmir. We are well aware of government schools. Recruiting
officers have become corepatis.
Licences are granted from sources unknown (even officers’ expected children get
licences before birth!). Doles and social welfare fund (mundi fund) is received by government employees (otherwise they
will have to beg!). This all is before our blind eyes and we are ourselves
witness.
What we need is not criticism only but practical approaches
to tackle this menace. So, we need some system to prevent it (If you can think of any send it to samlos928@gmail.com with your name and address
it will be published). We need a change not chaos created by government
agencies. We need to strengthen co-operation between ourselves at citizen
level, to organize ourselves against it (not Anna Hazare drama).
But we will never be able to organize ourselves against till
we are selfish.
