Daily Diary (DD) - Day 358 of 2025

0315hrs:

Countdown to end of 2025: 8 days

So, the code has finally been cracked! Not only did I wake up at 0256hrs, I woke at intervals after 0041hrs in the fear that I had passed the watershed of 0300hrs. 

Nevertheless, this now needs to become a permanent feature of my daily routine, as aspired to at the beginning of this calendar year, 358 days ago.

....

The following note in English and then followed in Urdu has been written by Dr Akhlaq Barlas of Ser Kakuta in tehsil Hajeera district Poonch, yet he lives in exile in the USA, having spent a good portion of his life in communist Russia (Soviet Union) too. In between he also served in the Department of Health in AJK. A man with rich experiences, some very bitter too which we will delve into - for the record - on some convenient date in the future.

Painful Questions That Demand Honest Answers

Do we know when British imperialism prepared the framework to govern United India?

Do we know who created that framework?

Do we know when the British established the judiciary and administrative system to control the people of India?

Do we know who continues to defend this British colonial system in Pakistan today?

And most importantly—whose interests does this colonial system still serve?

These questions are painful, but they are eye-opening.

Do we honestly believe that a rotted, oppressive, colonial system can ever bring prosperity to any country? 
I do not.

Historical Reality

India and Pakistan were created by British imperialism, with the cooperation of the Muslim League and the Indian National Congress, to serve the interests of international imperialist forces and the exploiting classes of the subcontinent.

However, there was a fundamental difference:

Indian National Congress leaders were largely nationalist and progressive.

Under Jawaharlal Nehru, India introduced major reforms in the army, civil services and governance, ensuring civilian supremacy over the military.

The Muslim League, on the other hand, remained pro-British, dominated by landlords and anti-democratic forces.

From the very beginning, Pakistani military officers—supported by international masters—subdued civilian governments and this continues to this day.

A Hard Truth

Pakistan was not created for the Muslims of the subcontinent.

It was created to serve strategic interests—particularly to defend the subcontinent from invasions from Central Asia and Afghanistan.

The British handed Pakistan a colonial administrative, judicial and military framework, which has consistently imposed misery, injustice and suffering on the people.

The Present Crisis

Under these circumstances, can anyone honestly believe that the same Pakistani bureaucratic system imposed on Pakistan-administered Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan will bring prosperity?

Those who believe so are living in a fool’s paradise.

Do elections under this rotted system change people’s lives?
I do not think so.

The same facilitators return to power—with the help of the federal government and secret agencies.

What Must Be Done

Real change will not come from fraudulent politicians, political parties, or the military establishment. It must come from the people.

A Roadmap for Change:

Create awareness among the people of Pakistan-administered JK and GB; unite them under a joint united front using platforms like the Awami Action Committee.

Educate the masses that elections under a colonial system are not the solution.

Prepare independent constitutions for both territories under Pakistan’s control.

Request the United Nations to assist in constitution-making, as UN observers are still present in the territory.

Reform the judiciary and administrative systems to meet modern societal needs.

Establish reform committees for education, health, agriculture, natural resources, climate, tourism and poverty alleviation.

End deputation of Pakistani officers in all departments and ministries.

Declare JK and GB free zones for foreign investment under local control.

Restore State Subject Rules in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Without dismantling the colonial system, there can be no justice, dignity, or prosperity.
The time for awareness, unity, and constitutional struggle is now.

تکلیف دہ سوالات جو ایماندارانہ جوابات مانگتے ہیں

کیا ہم جانتے ہیں کہ برطانوی سامراج نے متحدہ ہندوستان کے عوام پر حکومت کرنے کا فریم ورک کب تیار کیا؟

کیا ہم جانتے ہیں کہ اس فریم ورک کا خالق کون تھا؟

کیا ہم جانتے ہیں کہ برطانوی سامراج نے ہندوستان کے عوام کو کنٹرول کرنے کے لیے عدالتی اور انتظامی نظام کب قائم کیا؟

کیا ہم جانتے ہیں کہ آج پاکستان میں اس برطانوی نوآبادیاتی نظام کا دفاع کون کر رہا ہے؟

اور سب سے اہم سوال—یہ نوآبادیاتی نظام آج بھی کن کے مفادات کی حفاظت کر رہا ہے؟

یہ سوالات تکلیف دہ ضرور ہیں، مگر آنکھیں کھول دینے والے ہیں۔

کیا ہم واقعی یہ سمجھتے ہیں کہ ایک سڑا ہوا، ظالمانہ اور نوآبادیاتی نظام کسی بھی ملک میں خوشحالی لا سکتا ہے؟

میں ایسا نہیں سمجھتا۔

تاریخی حقیقت

ہندوستان اور پاکستان برطانوی سامراج نے مسلم لیگ اور انڈین نیشنل کانگریس کی مدد سے اس لیے تخلیق کیے کہ بین الاقوامی سامراجی طاقتوں اور استحصالی طبقات کے مفادات کی خدمت کی جا سکے۔ 

:تاہم ایک بنیادی فرق تھا

انڈین نیشنل کانگریس کے رہنما بڑی حد تک قوم پرست اور ترقی پسند تھے۔

جواہر لعل نہرو کے دور میں بھارت نے فوج، سول سروس اور نظامِ حکومت میں بنیادی اصلاحات کیں اور فوج پر سول بالادستی کو مضبوط بنایا۔ 

اس کے برعکس مسلم لیگ واضح طور پر برطانوی سامراج نواز تھی، جس پر جاگیرداروں اور غیر جمہوری قوتوں کا غلبہ تھا۔

ایک کڑوا سچ

ابتدا ہی سے بین الاقوامی آقاؤں کی مدد سے پاکستانی فوجی افسران نے سویلین حکومتوں کو دبایا، اور یہ عمل آج تک جاری ہے۔

پاکستان مسلمانوں کے لیے نہیں بنایا گیا تھا۔

یہ دراصل اس لیے بنایا گیا کہ برصغیر کو وسطی ایشیا اور افغانستان کی سمت سے آنے والے حملوں سے محفوظ رکھا جا سکے۔ 

برطانوی سامراج نے پاکستان کو نوآبادیاتی انتظامی، عدالتی اور فوجی قوانین دیے، جنہوں نے مسلسل عوام پر مصیبتیں، ناانصافیاں اور اذیتیں مسلط کیں۔ 

موجودہ بحران 

ایسے حالات میں کیا کوئی یہ سمجھتا ہے کہ پاکستانی بیوروکریسی کا وہی نظام، جو پاکستان کے زیرِ انتظام جموں و کشمیر اور گلگت بلتستان پر مسلط ہے، وہاں خوشحالی لا سکتا ہے؟

جو لوگ ایسا سوچتے ہیں وہ احمقوں کی جنت میں رہ رہے ہیں۔

 کیا اس سڑے ہوئے نظام کے تحت ہونے والے انتخابات عوام کی زندگی میں کوئی تبدیلی لا سکتے ہیں؟

میں ایسا نہیں سمجھتا۔

وہی سہولت کار دوبارہ اسمبلیوں میں آ جاتے ہیں وفاقی حکومت اور خفیہ اداروں کی مدد سے۔

اب کیا کرنا ہوگا؟

حقیقی تبدیلی دھوکے باز سیاست دانوں، سیاسی جماعتوں یا فوجی اسٹیبلشمنٹ سے نہیں آئے گی۔یہ تبدیلی صرف اور صرف عوامی قوت سے آئے گی۔

عملی لائحۂ عمل

پاکستان کے زیرِ انتظام جموں و کشمیر اور گلگت بلتستان کے عوام میں آگاہی پیدا کی جائے، انہیں متحد کیا جائے اور عوامی ایکشن کمیٹی جیسے پلیٹ فارم کے ذریعے مشترکہ متحدہ محاذ قائم کیا جائے۔

عوام کو یہ تعلیم دی جائے کہ نوآبادیاتی نظام کے تحت انتخابات ان کے مسائل کا حل نہیں۔

پاکستان کے زیرِ کنٹرول دونوں خطوں کے لیے علیحدہ آئین تیار کیے جائیں۔ اقوامِ متحدہ سے درخواست کی جائے کہ وہ آئین سازی کے عمل میں مدد کرے، کیونکہ اقوامِ متحدہ کے مبصرین آج بھی ان علاقوں میں موجود ہیں۔

موجودہ عدالتی اور انتظامی نظام میں بنیادی اصلاحات کی جائیں تاکہ وہ جدید معاشرتی تقاضوں سے ہم آہنگ ہو سکیں۔

تعلیم، صحت، زراعت، قدرتی وسائل، موسمیاتی تبدیلی، سیاحت اور غربت کے خاتمے کے لیے اصلاحاتی کمیٹیاں قائم کی جائیں۔تمام محکموں اور وزارتوں کو پاکستان سے ڈیپوٹیشن پر آنے والے افسران سے آزاد کیا جائے۔

 جموں و کشمیر اور گلگت بلتستان کو غیر ملکی سرمایہ کاروں کے لیے آزاد زون قرار دیا جائے، مگر مقامی کنٹرول کے تحت۔

گلگت بلتستان میں اسٹیٹ سبجیکٹ رول بحال کیا جائے۔

نوآبادیاتی نظام کے خاتمے کے بغیر نہ انصاف ممکن ہے، نہ وقار، نہ خوشحالی۔

آگاہی، اتحاد اور آئینی جدوجہد کا وقت اب آ چکا ہے۔

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 221 of 2022

1151hrs:

Day 65 at Maqbool Bhat Shaheed Square - Dadyaal.

0735hrs

My punctuality deficit has decreased to 415 minutes.

....

For the purpose of public interest and specifically to provide an opportunity to examine how some of the more educated people in our territory respond to our efforts to galvanise the public, I am providing the text of a conversation I had with one such person today (with his permission), namely Zahid Sarfaraz of Ali Sojal in tehsil Rawalakot (Poonch):

Zahid Sarfaraz (hereon ZS):
Bro I have read lots of political structures and revolutions from the world canvas although your work and sincerity is much apriciated but really I don't understand the end result of your work what would it be?

Tanveer Ahmed (hereon TA):
Amongst the top 10 countries in the world in the 4 disciplines listed below:

1) Security
Our territory should be internally secured to prevent any future invasion or interference. After all, we inhabit the most precious territory in the world, on account of geography and resources.

2) Governance
Based on water, soil, waste and human/data management. We have to surpass the rest of the world in direct democracy, which can even be linked to enlightened autocracy if necessary.

3) Economy
Becoming a key global supply chain by creating new and reviving old land routes between Europe and Asia, particularly between Mirpur & London via Central Asia. 

4) Culture
Reviving Sharda as a pre-eminent global centre of knowledge and wisdom, which is contingent upon reviving Mandirs and Gurdwaras in AJK, which itself is contingent upon giving free access to Hindus & Sikhs of Jammu Kashmir & Allied areas (JKA) to this territory.

Finally....

All the above is contingent on the public of AJK initially and the remainder of JKA understanding the merits of the above approach. 

If they understand, it follows that then they will be able to mobilise peacefully, ethically, legally and democratically for such an alternative reality. 

The end....for now....

....

The conversation continued on the next day (10/08/22):

ZS:
Sorry for that who will do for us all the things that you have mentioned above and why?

I think you believe in one man show which is not possible when its a collective task

Only the constitutional Assembly has the power to do so and you know that Assembly we don't have in realty

TA:
Your basic premise is faulty. No one will do anything for us, it is us who have to do everything.

Your thinking is also at fault and it is an indication that you are not trying to understand my work without preconceived notions about what is an 'individual' effort and what is a 'collective' effort.

What we don't have but need is what we have to create.

ZS:
What we have to create?
We have to create public committees and we would have to create a parallel parliament like as the zara's Russia

TA:
You are a very well read person but you have very little information about my work and how I operate. It is a pity that you have devoted so much time and energy on reading about the rise and fall of Communist Russia but you do not wish to devote much time to efforts closer to home, where your knowledge and background can be put to effective use.

Anyway, that is ok and it is not surprising....especially since we operate in a society with slavish characteristics. It isn't possible for you not to be affected.

In public interest, may I share this conversation (without using your name unless you want me to quote you) as it may prove to aid the learning process of our society?

ZS:
There is a difference between revolutionary work and the survey 
Right now we need the way out from the occupation may be you have read the PNA's Basis document if not kindly read it that is also a one of the way get freedom

TA:
Many thanks for your suggestion which I have already read. It could be a matter of opinion as to what is revolutionary work and what isn't. My work is far more comprehensive than a survey (which in itself was a very comprehensive piece of work). 

Judging by the conversation we have had so far, I still feel that you have not tried to understand my work to the best of your ability.

If you can please respond to this question (in reference to seeking his permission to share this conversation), I would appreciate it.

ZS:
You are much appreciated for your work
Inteed it has its own importance but its not the way out

I don't have any objecton at all because at least it could open up a debate which will be obviously in the best of public interest

End of conversation....

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 82 of 2022

2157hrs:

Day 53 at Martyr's Square Kotli

Public opinion gathering hasn't quite finished yet. 

We love learning something new every day, however minute it may appear at the moment.

....

It was Britain versus Russia pre 1947, then the Brits gave us India and Pakistan and now we have China and America to contend with too, in JKA:


 

....

For the love of Pakistan in AJK:


 

We can then compare the above with the following State-sponsored propaganda event to boost the occupier's morale in Bhimber, at the cost of the AJK taxpayer:

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 12 of 2022

1628hrs:

Each day of consistency adds that much more strength to tackle the enormity of tasks at hand.

.....

It's always heartening to come across material on the web which solidifies our hunches about the significance of the particular part of the world we live in. The following is a case in point:


Important points derived from above footage:

- The scenario described above - particularly with reference to China and India -  has remained more or less constant for the last 3,000 years.

- 2 major reasons: abundance of land and food. Both have large rivers close to easy to farm plains. India remains most (abundant) arable land in the world and China is 4th behind Russia and the USA.

We have noted the above for its close proximity to our territory, namely JKA and the crucial water channels which flow into these regions from Tibet in particular and JKA in general.

Daily Diary (DD) - Day 158 of 2019

0317hrs:

3 Layers and Multiple Sub-layers in each Layer of the Jammu & Kashmir Dispute:


There appear to be 3 layers of power (with accompanying narrative/s) relevant to understanding the unresolved dispute of Jammu & Kashmir. Both modus vivendi and modus operandi are in use in different measure and combination, within and between each layer.

1) United Kingdom (Great Britain/Empire)

Sub-layers would include the international community with a mixture of combining and separating almost everything beyond India & Pakistan. That would be Western/global institutions viz. UN, IMF, World Bank, the wider region including China, Central Asia, Russia and the Muslim World.

2) India & Pakistan

Sub-layers would include all narratives; be they hawks or doves, or left and right of the political spectrum in both countries, They would also include both those who don't want the world to interfere in the domestic affairs of either State and those that do, or don't mind.

3) Jammu & Kashmir (J & K)

This would include the whole princely State of c. 86,000 square miles. Of course the divided population is also going to comprise of a diverse range of sub-layers. Some pulling towards the Indian narrative, some towards the Pakistani narrative, some espousing other narratives linked to other external entities and then a perhaps even more diverse group representing an internal narrative of some kind.

Now, in the power equation the numbers 1 to 3 are in the right sequence, in more respects than one. During the colonial era, there were 2 tiers or layers (in our contextual parlance): that of the British Crown and its subjects. Thus, there is history, geopolitics, economy, technology, research and a host of other factors that cement the sequence in place.   

I realise that not all readers will be predisposed to accepting such a sequence. However, most people who follow the status of Jammu & Kashmir's geopolitical ambiguity will at least concede that any conscientious inhabitant of this territory - who may be deprived of all his or her fundamental rights at will - may reasonably make such an assessment. Further, the reader should also take into account the prevailing status-quo since the ceremonial transfer of British colonial power to the dominions of India and Pakistan in 1947. The gradual dwindling of internal political agency - be it the autocratic ruler or his subjects - including those acting as political representatives of the people - should also be noted.

If we assume the above as a 3-layered geopolitical power hierarchy, the challenges facing the civil rights activist in any part of J & K - to achieve public policy objectives in favour of the internal narrative/s - are as necessary to meet in 2019 as they have proved elusive since 1947.

Our shared humanity requires us to accept everything we expect for ourselves as a fundamental right to be available or exercised by all other homo sapiens. There is a deeper level of thinking needed beyond 'national' limitations to meet the seemingly ever more complex needs of tomorrow. 

Can the internal narrative of J & K triumph for the sake of humanity?

How does it navigate through the 3 layers of geopolitical hierarchy?

How does it interact with the multiple sub-layers within and between other layers?

All real and tough questions that need understanding. 

I need internal assistance.

.......


This is heartbreaking but poignant:





Translation of caption from FB:


In the Indian controlled Valley of Kashmir, a mother bought some new Eid clothes for her slain child and laid them out on his grave. 


"Those clothes that you demanded last Eid


Get up and look! I've brought you those very clothes" 

......


It's a pity that we are closed to the world. Otherwise, we'd be popular much beyond Pakistan:




For those of you who cannot read the FB photo caption:


Tourists throng AJK and adjoining areas of Pakistan during Eid holidays. This is Kohala resort


......


Indian and Pakistani armed forces can enjoy a good time together, even if it may be a few thousand miles away in Chebarkul, Russia. It is not as unthinkable as the residents on either side of Jammu Kashmir & Allied's manufactured border are led to believe, or for that matter even the world is led to believe. 

Contingents of Pakistani and Indian armies were participating in a joint multinational exercise organised under the umbrella of The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), or Shanghai Pact, in Russia. 

The exercises began on August the 24th 2018 and concluded on August the 30th 2018.

We understand that this footage is from the evening of the 28th of August 2018:
   


Cheers!
