this is the Moment Sahil Tahir had been waiting 73 days eagerly. Since the 5. August, the people in Kashmir were switched to mute all, the state had blocked the phones of eight million people, which is one of the biggest barriers to Communication in the Indian history was.
But the beginning of the week, the state switched free most of the mobile devices in Kashmir again. Tahir couldn’t believe it and sent in a hurry, a whole series of text messages to his business a boost. “Without the text messages can work here but none of them,” says the 30-year-old entrepreneur, who operates in Srinagar, a printing company. The relief was huge but it lasted only a few hours. “Then you have blocked the SMS again.”
looked like What is in accordance with the progress, turned quickly to a setback. The Indian state, wants to prevent riots, after he has deprived Kashmir surprisingly, the autonomy, does not dare yet, for the Locals, their freedoms in everyday life to return. To tense the situation, although Delhi would like to give the impression that normality is returning to a again.
visit of the “Militants”
normality? Of Tahir feels a little. Of the States in Srinagar, he could tell when he was giving his identity, he says on the phone. He is, in truth, different. Business people like him have much to fear: to Criticize openly the government in Delhi or complain that has deprived the state of the autonomy, threatens them with a prison sentence.
Try to get your business up and running again, which has suffered from the iron grip of the state, it may happen that you get a visit from the “Militants”. The underground fighters, the rise of violence against the Indian state, ed hot. Delhi calls them “terrorists”.
“I employ twelve staff and gained ten weeks. I can’t just make on the road.”Sahil Tahir, an entrepreneur
The violent forces attempt to force by threats the population to the radical Boycott in everyday life and to develop the Plan of Delhi by cross, Kashmir according to the wishes of the Central government. Between these two fronts, the draconian security forces of the state on the one hand, and the threat of militias in the underground, on the other hand, the everyday life in the valleys of Kashmir.
Many of the residents desire, while self-reliance, if possible, to an independent state: they are the permanent feud between the Indian and the Pakistani government to your home sorry. But that does not mean that you approve of all the violence of the militias. For all who want to work and need it in these days very difficult. “We have to be careful that we are not crushed between the fronts,” says Tahir.
This fear grabs now those traders who want to sell Apples outside Kashmir. The fruit is in demand everywhere in the country. And it is harvest time. But there is panic now in the industry, since then, a truck driver from Punjab, which was loaded with fruit, was shot and killed on Tuesday night by a extremists. “This was an execution, and people from other Parts deter India’s,” says Tahir. “And it is also a warning to all in Kashmir who want to go back to their shops.”
Tahir is not, however, want to close his company. He could not afford to support him, he says. “I employ twelve staff and gained ten weeks. I can’t just make on the road.” In addition, he has a wife and two small children at home. “We, too, can be the goal,” says Tahir. The fear is always there. Usually you can buy in the shops Srinagars only in the morning, afternoon and evening, the roll are closed shops.
Local election
to convey the impression that in Kashmir, a place of peace and normality month stint, Delhi lifted the ban for tourists to travel to Kashmir. The green light for a vacation in the mountains. “But who is the car” asks Tahir, “if there is no security here?” For thousands Kashmirer, the lives of the tourists, are the threats of the extremists to be a disaster. But many can also be seen in action in Delhi is not a good future for themselves, because the Central government has not consulted the Kashmirer once, before they were collected, the autonomy of the Region.
The hindu-nationalist government wants to stop in soon local elections in Kashmir, although most of the politicians are in prison. “It looks like would now compete in front of all people of Delhi as a puppet can lead,” says Tahir. That, however, had no way to regain confidence. Since 70 years a lot of Kashmirer struggling with the powerlessness not to be able to about their own future decide. After two Wars between Pakistan and India, the mountain area is divided, and of talks, the two nuclear powers are far from that.
About the alleged detention of children who throw stones at Indian troops, the government has no statements.
Delhi has lifted some of the restrictions in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir. The freedom of movement is greater, and minors were released from detention as local sources confirm. On the alleged detention of children who throw stones at Indian troops, the government has no statements. But the state is still determined to nip any Protest in the Bud. So it happened on Tuesday in the centre of Srinagar, 13 prominent women on the street Sit-in planned. Among them, the sister and the daughter of Ex-Prime Minister Farooq Abdullah were.
30 hours, the women in prison were, then they came free. “They asked us, we said an apology for the Protest sign,” the activist Muslim Jan. “We have denied.” It looks like it would have been her last Protest.
