Daily Diary (DD) - Day 301 of 2018

1209hrs:

I had to embed this extremely touching and emotional message - in Poonchi Pahaari - from a brave young lady living in Indian controlled Jammu & Kashmir, whose paternal grandfather had to flee for his life from Palandri (in what became AJK). Listen to her tearful plea to both India and Pakistan: to stop dividing the people of this territory on the basis of religion. "Let the humanity in us thrive", is her constant cry.

I understand that her name is Romi Sharma - an actress/poet - whose family resides in Jammu.

2132hrs:

Investigating Shujaat Bukhari's Murder.....re-visiting the 14th of June......The UN Report on Jammu & Kashmir.......Chinese posture since, Indian  posture since and Pakistani posture since.

We all need to be as honest as possible and she has made an effort - has read a lot - but is misleading or misinformed on many fronts.
