Wow!

Are we transitioning from a colonial era to a corona era?

These are deep anxieties in AJK.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 84 of 2020

1413hrs:

Information, knowledge, wisdom and technique/intellect are all a trust that every individual accumulates in some degree during the course of their life; to share, bequeath and pass on to the rest of humanity.

The following video was made in 2015 but it confirmed the flaws in democracy that I have been working hard to avoid, since beginning to plan the architecture of an internal political process in AJK since 2007:

.....

The following translates as:

Ye jo puri dunya me waba hay

This pandemic that the whole world (finds itself in)

Kya ye Kashmiryo ki bad dua hay?

Is it (the result) of a Kashmiri curse?

Further context:

A 7 month lockdown in the Valley of Kashmir (since the 5th of August 2019) is presumed to have instigated a global lockdown as punishment by the almighty for the world's apathy towards the plight of Kashmiris.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 83 of 2020

1927hrs:

An impending lockdown for a month in AJK has at least reminded us that we are - after all - part of a rapidly shrinking world.

We may not have access to most of the positive aspects of globalisation but we are deeply mired in its negative outfall.

Over the past few weeks I have tried my best to avoid the subject of Corona or it's technical term Covid-19, hoping that it wouldn't become the pandemic that it has.

Once we get over this, I look forward to returning to the subject of globalisation and its impact on this territory that has been hidden behind the heavy curtains of Indian and Pakistani nationalism, by the outgoing British empire in and since 1947.

This is of course an indication of how precious Sharda is to our Hindu brethren across the LOC but it is also a confirmation of why it shouldn't become the symbol of an ownership tussle between India and Pakistan:

In 1980 VHP organised Virat Hindu Sammelan in Jammu in which resultion was passed for its restoration and allowing for Pilgrimage. It is our Mother Goddess. Kashmir is incomplete without Shardha Perth.
