NNNNNhe joint statement ofPresident Musharaf andPrime Minister ManmohanSingh after their meeting in

Delhi has been interpreted variously.Some feel that it is definitely a bigand significant stepforward. For once Mr.Musharaf never mentionedthe ‘views of Kashmiri’s atanytime during these twodays. He added that Indiahas a position thatboundaries will not beredrawn. He no doubtstated his position thatLOC cannot be a solution.He chastened Geelani ofthe break away Hurriyat touse brains. These all showa much mellowedPakistan. These point tobetter things to come. Thisis also supported by theeuphoria in both countriesover the confidence buildingmeasures. No doubt on the ground theopening of Srinagar-Mazafrabad busroute means very little, but muchnoise was created on both sides of theborder.

On the ground, India appears tohave yielded quite a bit. Accepting thatpeople from J&K can cross the borderwithout possessing a passport, was abig let down. A categorical demand forstopping cross-border terrorism wasnot made, when it is known thatterrorist infrastructure on the otherside of border is intact, is not only

retired and the rest are going to retirein the next three or four years. Evennow people who were employed, wereappointed to class 2 jobs. Those whowere in business in 1990, have losttheir business except for ten or twelveshops that may exist in the villages.Setting up new business is not thateasy and will go against the vestedinterest in such trades alreadyexisting there. So how can peoplesustain themselves back in Kashmir?Nostalgia alone is not enoughmotivation to track back .

The internal dynamics of thecommunity may also revert backmovements. During these 15 yearsmany of our youngsters have with greateffort created a niche for themselves.they cannot throw that away for anunknown future in Kashmir.

We would expect the state toprovide a helping hand in rehabilitatingthe community economically. Butnothing like that appears to behappening. No body in power whetherin state or center appears to beinterested in vote-wise-insignificantcommunity.

Considering the odds against usall, developments on political levelbetween India and Pakistan seem tobe of no cheer or dismay for acommunity. Community will have tosee within itself to find solution to itsproblem. Even that is becomingdifficult in view of the existence ofquixotic leaders working at crosspurposes. Let us leave that discussionfor another day.

NNNNNashmir is on the crossroads ofher destiny. Trans LOC Busservice has been started. Let us

hope this momentous event isremembered as one bringing good luck.In the past certain events have provedthat destiny has helped Kashmir in thelong run.

I have to draw the attention of thereaders to the following events, whichplayed momentous role:1. Muslim Conference was conceived in1931. Speaking in its first session in1932, Sheikh Mohammed Abdullahsaid that they needed to carry non-Muslims along forachieving theirpolitical goal. Theorthodox elementslead by Mirwaiz leftthe organisation. Thisgave opportunity toS.M.Abdullah to usemosques to propagatehis ideas successfully.2. Muslim Conference(MC) gave a call toobserve 19th May 1936as ResponsibleGovernment Day. ManySikhs and Hindusjoined it, ignoring thatMC was organizing it.3. In 1939, MC waschanged to National Conference (NC).Ghulam Abbas and others from Jammu

KKKKK(Mirpur) decided toleave the party. Beingclose to Pakistan theywere under greaterinfluence of MuslimLeague. If they hadstayed back, could havepersuaded others to joinML.4. Jawahar Lal Nehru visited Kashmirin 1940 on a private visit. S MAbdullah used the opportunity ofplaying host and came very close toNehru.5. In 1944, NC issued a document

called NayaKashmir. It promisedan ear of prosperity,progress and freefrom the evils offeudalistic regime.People werecaptivated.6(a). In July 1944,Jinnah visitedKashmir with a viewof winning support tohis two-nationtheory and PakistanDemand. Withoutrealising the psycheof Kashmir, he usedthe reactionary andcommunal platform

of MC at Jamia Masjid to downgradethe National Conference leaders. He

had to face humiliation at Baramullawhere he was not even allowed tospeak. Kashmiris rejected the twonation theory.6(b). In autumn of 1944 Veer Savarkarvisited Kashmir and offered help totrain and arm some youth ifMahasabha branches were opened. SN Fotedar, KP leader declined theoffer stating that KP were opposed toboth Muslim and Hindufundamentalism.

If Jinnah or Savarkar hadsucceeded in their mission andweaning Kashmiris from secularcourse, Kashmir would not haveescaped the communal trouble of1946-47 and India could not haveintervened. I shudder to think of the

fate of Kashmiri Pandits in 1946-47or even during the raid of the tribals,if the Kashmiris had succumbed toJinnah or Savarkar bait. Kashmirrejected the two nation theory.7. The visit of INC leaders in 1945 andthe reception given to them confirmedKashmiri Muslim’s faith in secularism.8. Nehru’s support and Jinnah’sopposition to NC in the wake of QuitKashmir movement helped Kashmir torecognize friend from foe.9. Maharaja Hari Singh was a prisoner

of indecision on accession. Paksponsored tribal raid on 22nd October1947 forced the Maharaja to sign theInstrument of Accession on 26ttOctober 1947.

If the matter had not beenprecipitated, a negotiated decisioncould have been possible as NC leaderswere trying for. Who knows on whatterms Jinnah could have agreed?India would have no legal right tointervene.10. Equally important was the decisionof the Cabinet Committee on securityprovided by Mountbetten to airlift abattalion to Srinagar in spite of theopposition by the army commander, allBritish. If the airlift had not beenstarted on 27th October and the raider

had reached Srinagar earlier, theaccession would have been onjeopardy.11. All decisions were not so lucky forKashmir. The most unfortunate waswhen Mountbetten succeeded inmaking Indian Government to referthe matter to UNO.12.

he is on the train, depending on hismood at that time. He would not evenbuy a return ticket if travelling by bus,whether for scenic panorama toGulmarg or sandy sprawl to Goa Hemight after all spontaneously decide togo back, trekking on foot. He may falloff that beckoning cliff or still better,could fall head over heals in love withsomeone he meets there hence bereftof any idea as to when or whether wouldhe want to go back.

Planning seems to Shambu Nath astempting fate, therefore, he firmlybelieves that to live for the future is ayouthful dream and thosewho live for the moment, trulylive for the future. No doubt,such an attitude isfundamentally at odds withthe principles of ordered co-existence and he would noteven pretend that thisdeliberately overplayedattitude, could form the basisof a generally applicable ruleof conduct. Imagine howchaotic would life be withoutany plans, schedules, cut-off,maps, budgets not eventimetables. Of course, Icannot afford to live planlessly and I donot even deny the validity of thatChinese proverb. “… In spring, plan forthe year, in the morning for the day…”Indeed, people are different and they

NNNNNYour* phone call on theoccasion of Janamashtami, toremind me to observe that dayas a vegetarian day and abstain

from all non-vegetarian food, speaksvolumes about the roots of our cultureand tradition, ‘Kashmiriyat’. The basisof this thought is Sufism.

Both Sufism and Kashmiriyat havethe history of tolerance and unity. Thepoet saint Noorudin Noorani Known asNund Rishi preached this and imploredon the people to live in communalharmony. Not only did Nund Rishi, butLalded, Samad Mir, Shamas Faqir,Parmanand, KrishanjooRazdan, Zindlal Kaul allbelonging to the KashmirValley had the sameidentical lookout on life. It ismost surprising to realizethat the thoughts of thesemen of high thinking ranparallel to “Trika”philosophy. It is this conceptthat blended Shaivism andIslam. This blending of thesynthesis of the two ways oflife brought the BhaktiMovement, which proved tobe one of the glorious periods of IndianHistory. It is most important for allKashmiris to know that Kashmiriyat isthe blending of Islam and Shaivism. Themessage of Kashmiriyat is tounderstand the essence of all religions.One must follow one’s religion in letterand spirit, at the same time one has torespect all other religions. This has beenthe message of the greatest leaders like

March-April 2005

Raina, Advocate, was the President ofthis Halqa Committee.D-Day for Kashmir – Parker Pen lost: I still remember one eventful day,when while walking back on theParade Ground road, I saw an emptytruck pass by me. On looking up I sawour beloved Jawahar Lal Nehru,standing in the truck. He smiled andwaved at me. I did the same in return.

Then on a make shift wooden standat Lal Chowk, Nehru was standing alongwith some local prominent persons. D.P.Dhar was on the same platform on theleft side of Nehruji. Bakshi GulamMohammad was with us in the assemblyof a dozen or so people. D.P. Dhar camedown from the stand and took away myparker pen from my pocket, for notingsomething. The pen was never returned,and I suffered pang of grief for the loss.I remember, to be witness to a plane loadof Army flying over us at the Lal Chowk,and Bakshi in his dramatic gesturethrowing his cap upwards in praise ofALLAH.Abdullah Enthroned : On the daySheikh Mohammad Abdullah was totake over as the Chief Minister of theState, we, as volunteers got lined upinside the Shergadi (then StateSecretariate Building) gate to welcomethe dignitaries. When lastly SheikhAbdullah arrived, a loud cheer went upthe congregation, and the crowdthronged forward pushing each other.Some volunteers, including me gave aprotective cover to Sheikh. While he wasgoing up the stairs leading to his officialroom on the first floor, among the crowdone person followed him closelyshouting ‘Sheikho Balai Lagai’ (SheikhI will sacrifice myself for you). In that

ecstasy when he came closer to Sheikhon the last step, shouting and openinghis arms for embrace perhaps, Sheikhturned, slapped the man so hard thathe fell back still and dumb on the crowdfollowing. He at last shouted ‘Tse Dhakh’(you get ruined). I recalled this incidentfirst when Sheikh Abdullah was arrestedand put behind bars in jail for nearlyten years at Kodiakanal in Tamil Nadu,Move to Delhi : The whole stateadministration was in turmoil. At thesame time my family’s financialcondition was getting from bad to worseeveryday. As we were completelybankrupt after losing of house and oursmall business, it was not possible tomake two ends meet. There was nospare source/cash to fall back upon.

Kashmiri students who were withme at the University started moving outof the State for better opportunities. Ialso began contemplating similar action.I sought from the bank my transfer toUdhampur, where from I plannedmoving to Delhi with the help of mytransfer TA money, I would receive. Ireceived some two hundred and oddrupees as my transfer TA. I moved toUdhampur, where I stayed for two/threemonths and then advanced to Delhi insearch of a better opening.

On reaching Delhi I had no whereto go. Two/three nights I slept inCannaught Place shopping verandhakeeping my old suite case with theshopkeeper during the day. Shopkeeper,I remember, was a Sardarji. He was verykind and accommodating. I now hazilyrecollect it was perhaps Brocca Press atCannaught Place.

Being short of cash, it was not easygoing in search of a job everyday. Having


March-April 2005

got my name registered in theEmployement Bureau, I accepted a jobof an accountant in a Cannaught Placefirm, namely Dhoonimal Dharam Dasson monthly salary of Rs.150/-. The firmdealt in stationary items. I stayed duringthis period in Madras Hotel inCannaught Circle. Then EmploymentBureau sponsored my name for the postof Divisional Accountant to the office ofthe Custodian of Evacuees Property, theMinistry of Rehabilitation. I got the basicsalary of Rs.160/- per month fromOctober, 1948.Family joining : In the meanwhile I gotrented a room in Nai Wali Gali, KarolBagh, and brought my family. My wifehad given birth to a beautiful daughternamed Usha.

During our stay at Nai Wali Gali, wegot acquainted with other Kashmirifamilies living in the vicinity, who hadalso left Kashmir during and after 1947raids. At this time I can recollect thefollowing names, Som Nath Koul (nicknamed governor), Som Nath Zutshi (nicknamed Sehgal for his singingbeautifully), Bola Nath, Shambu Nathkhachru etc. In 1949 November, I wasblessed with a son, Ramesh.

As the time passed, we got in touchwith other Kashmiris who had migratedearlier. Most helpful among them toyoung migrants were Late S.L. Shakdhar(Parliament fame), Late Prem Nath Dhar(AIR-Awaz fame) etc.Inception of Association : Shri PremNath Dhar lived in Karol Bagh itself. Wewould sometimes go to his place forguidance and Kahwa (Kashmiri tea).One day in 1950 he came up with anidea that Kashmiris living in the vicinitymay have a ‘Damoulu bata’ party get-

together. As my son’s first birthdaywas coming up on 30/11/50, Ivolunteered to have such a gettogether at my place on that date.

We all met on 30/11/50 in theafternoon for the party. Late Prem NathDhar broached the idea of forming anassociation of Kashmiris in Delhistarting with our Karol Bagh area.Everyone present agreed to thesuggestion. It was decided that theassociation be named as ‘KashmiriSahayak Samiti’, and that a monthlysubscription of paisa 25 be collectedfrom the members of the baradari. TheSamiti was subsequently registered as‘Kashmiri Sahayak Samiti (Registered)',Delhi (South Zone).

At this meeting late Prem Nath Dharwas selected President, myself asSecretary, and Som Nath Koul, asTreasurer. I still remember how in coldand foggy winter and blistering summerSundays, we would go from door to doorto collect paisa 25 per family.Subsequently baradari members fromother localities in Delhi were roped in,and the Samiti started growing fromstrength to strength. Prominent, amongthem, I recall, were Shambu NathKhachru, Prithvi Nath Dhar (Planning)and S.L. Shakdhar (Parliament).

In 1959, under my Secretaryship, aresolution, approving the Election Rules(drafted by me), appointment of aReturning Officer for conduct of electionto the Executive Council of the Samiti,and three members to represent theSamiti in the then Kashmir Samaj, waspassed by the then executive, on 22nd

February 1959. The elections were heldat Lodhi Gardens, under the supervision

NNNNNong time ago, a robber livedin a forest. Often travellerspassing through that forestwould be robbed or even killed

by him. One day when Narda Muni,the great Rishi of yore was walkingthrough the forest, the hunter askedhim to hand over whatever he hadotherwise he would kill him. NaradMuni in a gentle voice told him not tobehave like this, as it would lead himto hell. The robber replied that he was

Valmiki & His Ramayana

LLLLLRama, with faith anddevotion and forgot allabout robbing andkilling and had nodesire even for food andwater either. He didnot even sleep. Weeksturned into months andmonths into years. Thus he came tobe called “Valmiki”, the sage of theanthills all over his body. Many yearslater he composed Ramayana inSanskrit telling the story of lord Ramaand established Ashram there in theforest.

Ramayana tells the story of atypical Indian family how four brothersof a family faced difficulties depictingthe values of the brotherhood,truthfulness, and dutifulness withpatience, courage, justice andsacrifice.

Lord Rama, the hero of the epic isthe embodiment of love, patience,courage and sacrifice. Thus Ramayanais the story of victory of truth and justiceover untruth and injustice. AfterValmiki, it was the saint poet Tulsidaswho wrote Ramayana in Hindi and madeit household name in every Indianlanguage besides English and otherforeign languages.

What makes the Ramayana relevanteven today? At a time, when humanvalues and family values aredegenerating and we find ourselves indarkness, the story of Lord Rama actsas a guiding light. All this makesRamayana a book of all times to come.

Lord Rama, the hero of the epicis the embodiment of love,patience, courage and sacrifice.Thus Ramayana is the story ofvictory of truth and justice overuntruth and injustice.

NNNNNhe first thing one needs forcorrect meditation is a rightmental attitude, particularly,one of listening. Most people

seldom listen. They are deaf to thesymphony of sounds in the worldaround them. They are deaf to otherpeople, for they are more interested inspeaking their own minds. They treattheir own conscience as though it wasdeficit to be overcome. They behave asthough perpetually campaigning fortheir own ideas. The process is neverending, every horizon reached, if it ever

is reached, only opens up new vistasof expectation and of wishful thinking.

For a few minutes everyday, why notgive this process a rest? Stopdecreeing your opinions to theUniverse. There is a state ofawareness that precedes the veryprocess of thinking. Seek that. It liesin inner calmness. Granted, this stateis not easy to find. One thing that willhelp you to find it, however, is'Listening'.

Listen to your thoughts. Listen towhat is, don’t keep on insisting on whatyou think ought to be. Tune in tothings as they are. Train your mindto accept what simply is.

Meditation is the opposite ofimposing your will on the world.Relinquish even for just a few minutes

The calmness born ofdeep meditationrepresents a high degree ofawareness. Meditation born calmnesswill enable you to not only remain calmduring periods of intense activity, butalso to face and accept with wiseunderstanding the trials of life. Your

goal then at all times is to remain“actively calm and calmly active”. Todevelop inner calmness, listenintently to the silence within.Listening in this context is another wordfor being fully aware – for not driftingmentally, but soaring upward to greaterheights of awareness.

Theflaws in our exclusive relianceon a materially basedapproach to health care areincreasingly apparent.Despite amazing diagnosticmachines and designercrafted medicines, oursociety is still suffering frompreventable 'epidemics' of heartdisease, cancer and infectious illness.Of equal importance is the recognitionthat a large segmentof our populationwhile notdemonstrating full-blown evidence ofdisease, isnevertheless notliving a true state ofhealth.

of their career is largely funded bymultinational pharmaceuticalindustry, which earns billions eachyear from sales of the prescriptions,and over the counter medicines. Infact an unholy nexus has come intoexistence between the two parties fortheir ulterior motives. As a resulttoday suffering people have beenencouraged to adopt 'pill poppingphilosophy' instead of 'stay wellphilosophy'.

Perhaps the most alarming result ofover dependence upon drugs is the factthat we have stopped altogetherresponsibility for our own health. Whenwe have headache we take a painkiller,when we have a cold, we might takeantihistamine. We suppress thesymptoms of health conditions becausewe want to feel better. We no longeraccept the logic that pain or discomfortis a message from our body that something is wrong. We have become usedto the idea that some one or somethingelse can deal with our health problems.Recently this trend has begun tochange. Scares about the side effects ofimmunization, abuse of the pain killer,antihistamines and antibiotics haveproved that conventional medicinedespite its many miracles have beenover used and we have become far toodependant on it.

Under such the prevailingatmosphere the message of Ayurveda issimple and clear. Health is more thanthe mere absence of definable disease-rather it is dynamic integration betweenour environment, body mind and spirit.Health is the return of wholeness andultimately reflects a higher state ofconsciousness.

Ayurveda teaches that we are notpassive victims of pathogenic forces butcan substantially impact our quality oflife through the choices andinterpretations we make. By reducingthe toxins and increasing the nourishinginfluences we ingest we can transfer ourminds and bodies.

Though many people are beginningto sense the limitations of a strictly bodybased approach to their health, yet theyare confused about which way to turn.How do you make your way through themaze of fragmented approaches to finda system that truly works to bring yourhealth vitality and happiness?

We invite suffering masses now toentertain a new and yet very ancientview of life and health. In this processthey will not be asked to discard theirobjective orientation but to expand uponit. Ayurveda is an intuitive, holisticmodel of health where the intangible aswell as more material aspects of life aregiven equal importance as both areconsidered to be fundamental to life’swholeness.

Ayurveda is not just a health caresystem but a complete approach toliving. It offers rich and comprehensiveconception of life and health – that takesinto account all parts of humanexistence – from its most abstracttranscendental value to its mostconcrete expressions in humanphysiology. In addition it clearly upholdsthe intimate connection between humanlife and cosmic life. The million-dollarquestion arises why and how has thisancient paradigm withstood the testof time and continued to this day tobe successful approach to health care?The first and foremost reason is that


March-April 2005

it is based on principles, which are asold as life itself, and also intimatelytied to how nature functionseverywhere in creation?

There are at least seven basicconcepts that help to define Ayurvedaas a unique and complete science of life.Some of them may seem initially to bebit somewhat different as they are notpart of modern scientific thought, butafter proper elaboration you will cometo appreciate the profound andcomprehensive logic upon which theyare based.1. The Unchanging nature ofAyurveda:Through the thousands of years thatAyurveda has been in existence, itsbasic principles have never changed,because they derive from universallaws of nature which are eternallytrue. These contrasts with the modernscientific paradigm where newtheories often render previousunderstanding completely obsoletewithin a short period of time.2. The subjective method ofunderstanding: one of the most definingfeatures of Ayurveda system concernsits methods for deriving knowledge.Ayurveda recognizes that much of lifeis non-physical and cannot be studiedobjectively. It therefore incorporates amore subjective or intuitive approach togain knowledge in addition to objectivemeans. Unseen intelligence, which forinstance orchestrates the process ofgrowth and differentiation in fetus or inthe healing of a disease, cannot beanalyzed or investigated by thesenses, even with the aid oftechnological means.

Ayurveda therefore relies on in-

depth observation of nature'sfunctioning to understand how thephysical and the non-physical aspectsof life function in a co-ordinatefashion. It also recognizes that theretoo is an extremely intimateconnection between the processoccurring in nature and those goingon inside our bodies. The Ayurvedicpractitioner is therefore able to drawcomparisons between his observationsof life as it functions around him andwhat is happening with the patient.This process can be illustrated by thephenomenon of fire. In the physicalworld fire can be observedtransforming the structure of asubstance like wood into some otherthing different i.e. ash. The Ayurvedicscientist takes note of this andincorporates how the same principlein nature works within the body toconvert raw foodstuff into nutrients.3. Five Element Theory:The third concept, which sets Ayurvedaapart from other healing modalities, isthe recognition that human life is partand parcel of nature. The specificintelligence that is responsible fororchestrating the natural world alsoguides physiological processes withinus.

Ayurveda calls these fundamentalprinciples which guide nature’sfunctioning in creation, Mahabutas orcosmic elements commonly known asAsh, Vayu, Agni, Jal, Prithvi. Theseelements are the basic building blocksof nature, which are responsible forall physical existence.4. The Theory of three Doshas:One of the most powerful conceptualtools in Ayurveda is the three Dosha


March-April 2005

theory. This theory explains how thefive elements, which make up thephysical creation dynamicallycombine to control all processes withinthe human physiology. These threefunctional capacities are called Vata– the principle governing all motion ormovement, Pitta – which control alltransforming processes, and Kapha -which is responsible for cohesion,growth and liquefaction. Without anyone of these processes therewould be no human life.5. Prakruti ConstitutionalType :The fifth premise of Ayurvedacalled Prakriti is the mostuseful tool for maintaining anideal state of health. Itrecognizes that each humanbeing is born with a uniquecombination of the threeDoshas and that this naturalbalance is responsible for thephysical, mental andemotional differences amongpeople. By identifying andmaintaining an individual’sPrakrati, Ayurveda can help eachperson create his or her own state ofhealth.6. The Effects of Reason:The next major foundation stone ofAyurveda recognizes the very intimaterelationship between the individualand all aspects of his or her ownenvironment. Ayurveda considersseasonal changes and climaticconditions to have particularlyimportant effect on health. Eachchange of season brings shifts in windcondition, temperature and humidityor rainfall. The predominance of

element i.e. Panchamahabuta in theenvironment changes, which willimpact the Balance of the Doshaswithin our bodies. If we can recognizeand respond to these environmentalchanges, we will better be able tomaintain a functional homeostasis, anideal equilibrium, of Doshas withinour bodies.7. Panchakrma – the science ofrejuvenation:

The miracle of the humanbody is that it has a healingintelligence, which is capableof constantly rejuvenatingitself. However when Doshicimbalance and weakeneddigestive capacity allow toxicimpurities to form, thisnatural capacity of the bodygets blocked. To remedy thissituation, Ayurveda offers thegift of Panchakrma - The'Science of rejuvenation'. Inthis process the body ispurified of the degeneratinginfluence of these foreignsubstances, thus freeing it to

naturally exercise its inherentrejuvenate abilities.

Many more Key concepts could belisted here – but these seven aspectsare sufficient to demonstrate theuniqueness of Ayurveda approach. Thisscience has always understood healthto be a co-ordinated functioning of bodymind and spirit in intimaterelationship with everything else increation, material and non-material. Itrecognizes that human life cannot beseparated from cosmic life. [Author is former Dy. Director ISM, J&K Govt.and has very kindly consented to writeregularly for Milchar.]

NNNNNost migration period sawKashmiri literature reachingits new heights. This eracreated many writers of fame,

whose literary creations not onlyproved to be contemporaneos in themebut these creations have been highlythought-provoking and up to thestandard. Present genre ofwriters present a native,nostalgic and a real picture,that reflexes our greatvalues and ethos. Thesewriters have been playing avital role in our cultural andsocial renascence thatmarks a new beginning afterninety.

We can not afford toforget the contribution of ourwriters to social and culturaldevelopment. A sensitivewriter, with his non-partisanapproach is not only anambassador of peace andharmony, but he createsawareness among themasses. A writer like M.K.Raina seesaround some corners and then revealit in his medium. He wants to knowhis motherland, he wants to preservethe great culture that we had. But our‘Vasmath’, the ‘treasure-trove’ is onthe verge of losing its existencebecause of the onslaught of someforces. He is not at all pessimistic buta quiet optimist.

An engineer by profession, ShriRaina is settled in Mumbai and hasbeen actively involved in literaryactivities. He has been doing

Critique - Ravinder RaviZaan Ded

PPPPPpioneering work in the field ofKashmiri literature and language. Aneditor of prestigious ‘Milchar’ and‘aalav’ (KP Magazines), he is the mainarchitect of the Project Zaan, a jointproject of Kashmiri Pandits’Association, Mumbai and Lalla DedEducational and Welfare Trust. This

Project is dedicated topreservation, propagation anddissemination of Kashmirilanguage, and culturalheritage of Kashmir. Besidesco-authoring the ‘BasicReader for KashmiriLanguage’, Shri Raina hasuncovered some valuableinformation about the LoveLorist and Mystic PoetessArinimal. Some books are alsoto his credit. His latestcollection of short stories‘tsók módúr’ too has got ravereviews, and now anothermuch talked about Kashmirishort story ‘Zaan Ded’ hascome to the fore. The story,

which appeared in 'Milchar' of Mumbai(March-April 2004 to July-August 2004issues) in Kashmiri, and in 'aalav' ofBangalore (July & August 2005issues) in English (translated by ShriJ.L.Manwati) is dedicated to ProjectZaan.

The whole story revolves aroundZaan Ded, an imaginary characterwho holds Vasmath, which symbolisesthe great legacy inherited byaboriginal Kashmiris. Zaan Ded, as thename suggests itself, is a symbol ofour great culture, civilization,

uniqueness, justice and what not. Itssymbolical expressions makes it adistinct anecdote. A symmetrical shortstory Zaan Ded has got a big plot.Characters are lively and wovenartistically. The writer has succeededin his statement when he says,“Before starting a story, I spend a lotof time on fixing and structuringvarious aspects of my characters.” Itdepicts the situation which forced thenative Kashmiris to leave their homesand hearths for no fault of theirs. Itsdifferent stages describe differentaspects of Kashmiri psyche. Thepeaceful co-existence amongcommunities is defined with examples.For instance, “Qadir Kak could forgethis meals but he would never forgetPhalahar (fruits) for Zaan Ded....... AliMohd. would never forget to get specialgifts for Zaan Ded ... etc. etc. A plainstory without any kind of ambiguity,attracts reader’s attention in total.However, brevity at some stages couldhave generated more curiosity.Chronology of events is like beads andgood treatment has been meted outto characters. It does not seem thatthe story has been devised but itspeaks itself, thus making it a worthreading short story. As regards thelanguage, colloquial usage has madethis story more interesting and catchy.Typical Kashmiri words, proverbialexpressions and spontaneous flow areother highlights of the story. ‘Kasheer’and ‘Kashmiriyat’ seem to be thefavourite subjects of Raina. His shortstory collection ‘tsók módúr’, Zaan Dedand other literary works mainly focuson ‘Kasheeriyat’. Zaan Ded is atragedy, a human tragedy, thatactually portrays the hapless and

wretched life of people, who are beinghounded out from their own land.These hapless people going through agreat trauma never show anypessimism but wait for the ‘Punim’ tocome. ‘Punim’ symbolises optimism.The people who fled to Bharatpur arecompelled by circumstances to give into people, who enjoy the rule. ZaanDed takes society with her, that isaround and individual reality of thecharacters has been taken seriously.Narrative in Zaan Ded is a class of itsown, howsoever it needs contemporarystyle that has come to stay now andis inevitable. Nevertheless, thenarrative has shown boldness and thisboldness has proved the writer’ssincerity in giving vent to his feelingsand emotions.

The portrayal of real-life tragedy,especially with the similes, maximsand dictums, has brought before, a livepicture that still haunts us. Zaan Ded,being nostalgic, is a mix of all kinds ofemotions.. It touches a hidden chordwith powerful emotions. Globalisationhas been the greatest enemy of ourculture. It has made our societiesconsumerists. Culture has becomeonly a product, which does not haveany identity. If this trend continues,then the day is not far away when weshall be stripped off of this heritageand it will be difficult to percolate ourgreat cultural legacy to our youngergenerations. Zaan tries her best topreserve it, come what may. Its simplediction and sensuous language makeit worth reading. Shri Raina deservescommendation for his powerfulinsight.[Author is with the All India Radio, NewDelhi.]

A Correction

In the 'They Left Us' columns ofJanuary-February 2005 issue ofMilchar, Shri Ashish Dhar waserroneously stated to be the son of LatePran Pyari Dhar. Shri Ashish is hergrandson. Her sons are Shri Ashok Dharand Shri Satish Dhar. The error isregretted.

he Annual CulturalProgramme of KashmiriPandits’ Association, Mumbai

is keenly looked forward to event by theBiradari. Not only does the event act asa source of 'Cultural catharsis', but italso revives the nostalgic memoriesof our native land.

This year, the programme was heldon 26th March, 2005 at Rang Sharda,

Bandra Reclamation, with usualfanfare and festive mood.

This time, our time-tested singers,artists and performers, who always havebeen the sheet-anchors of the event,were somehow not able to lend theirotherwise ever co-operative hands,because of their pre-occupation. Thismade the BOT to think hard, that timehad come to identify some new, youngand hitherto unexplored talent, amongstour biradari, as a back-up or reservetalent-bank. Simultaneously, it was feltthat the budding and upcoming bandof amateur artists would be prettyencouraged to get their own platform toperform.

Under the circumstances, the eventmanagement was entrusted to one ShriPankaj Raina - a talented artist of reputein the field of entertainment for decades,

who took up thechallenge and within ashort span of ten days,identified, collected,rehearsed the new talentand finally encapsuledone & half hoursengrossing and totally Kashmiri MusicalMedley, which judging by the audienceparticipation of foot-tapping, hand-

clapping and general buoyancy couldbe termed as pleasing & plausible.

The interval of half an hourinterlude, as usual, was earmarked forthe KPA activities. The President’sspeech enunciating the achievementsof KPA, which inter-alia, announced themuch applauded news of allotment of6000 sq.ft. of land by CIDCO atKharghar, Navi Mumbai, to theAossciation.

Biradari News &Biradari News &Biradari News &Biradari News &Biradari News &ReportReportReportReportReport News from KPA Mumbai:

The two flagship events of KPA,Mumbai, which generate a lot ofactivity and interest in otherwise morepre-occupied Mumbai Pandits are theAnnual Hawan and the AnnualCultural Programme.

The Annual Hawan this year wasstarted on 12th of February and after24 hours of various Sahakars thePuran Ahuti was performed on the 13th

of February the auspicious day ofBasant Panchami at New Mumbai.Nearly 1000 Biradari membersparticipated in the Puran Ahuti andpartook Naveed.

The Annual Cultural Programmewas held this year on 26th of March,at Rang Sharda, Bandra. The packedauditorium of 800 Biradari memberswas treated the totally oriented 1½hours programme (musical) by youngand non-musical amateurs likeDoctors, MBAs, CAs and Engineers,which instantly transported theaudience to their native land. Thisyear’s Life-time Contribution Awardwas conferred upon Shri Omkar NathKaul, a ‘silent worker’ of ourAssociation. The other half of theprogramme was a devoted to adebatable skit and entitled ‘adû chhàtarúnúy' (Have we to return to theValley ?) The skit was presented anddirected by famous actor Rahul Bhat.

The good news which we would liketo share with Biradari at large is thatafter years of efforts put in by thevarious members of the Board of

Trustees, the CIDCO has allotted6000 sq. feet of plot at Kharghar,Navi Mumbai to Kashmiri Pandits'Association, at one fifth cost of theprevalent land rate for developmentas Kashyap Bhawan. The KPA hasmade the initial payment of the plotand shall soon come out with the blueprint for the development of the plotwhen we shall approach thephilanthropic members of ourcommunity for their assistance.

Another Proud Achievement byKPA Mumbai - Migrant studentsexempted from MH-CET :Kashmiri Pandits' Association,Mumbai feels immense pleasure &pride to inform our communitymembers, within the country &abroad, that following protractedefforts and deliberations of over twoyears with the concerned authoritiesof Maharashtra Government,Directorate of Technical Education,Maharashtra has vide circularnotification dated 3rd. March, 2005announced that all the migrantstudents of J&K shall henceforth beexempted from appearing at the MH-CET written examinations. This hasbeen highly appreciated by all quartersof community especially in light of thefact that the much avoidable extrahardship & expenses of travelling toMaharashtra have been prevented &hence the much needed relief to themigrant students & their parents . Oursincere thanks to the Govt. ofMaharashtra for the noble gesturetowards us.

Nehru made an offer to Pak PM in1953 (after S.M. Abdullah’s arrest) tohold a plebiscite in the whole ofKashmir on the condition thatAmerican administrator was replacedby one from a small country. Pakdithered till she formed militaryalliance with America. India withdrewthe offer. USSR used the Veto at asubsequent UNO resolution. Kashmir

problem was frozen. The heatgenerated by the wars in 1965, 1971and 1998 (Kargil) failed to defreeze thesituation.14. Cross border terrorism/proxy warunleashed in 1989-90 has broughtlarge scale of death, destruction andmisery and no solution.15. So no wars, no UNO resolution,no terrorism change the situation andsolved the problem. Only one optionremains to be tried: Peace to benourished by all the concerned.

In a present situation of chaos andconfusion, dilemma and delusion andcutthroat competition we tend to lookfor solutions in the ideals that theRamamyana teaches us. SwamiVivelkananda writes, “Rama, theancient idol of the heroic ages, theembodiment of truth, of mortality, theideal son, ideal husband, the idealfather and above all the ideal King.The great sage Valmiki has presentedthis Rama before us. No language canbe purer, none chastier, none morebeautiful and at the same timesimpler than the language in whichthe great poet has depicted the life ofRama”.

Any entertainment of KPA wouldnormally be inconceivable without thespicy commentary or comic fillers ofour known anchors namely ‘Chandjiand Bharatji’. In their absence the jobwas taken upon by our own Shri M.K.Raina, whose matter-of-fact mannercommentary in chaste Kashmiriinterspersed with comic fillers, madeaudience to roar in Guffaws. It wasindeed a nostalgic journey which shallbe remembered and savoured for oneyear till the next cultural programme.
