Kashmiri language has a rich literature. Prior to 1947, it had ap redo min ant ly ve rsi f ied s toc k o f di f fer ent hu es bu t a fterindependence our writers contributed in other prose forms as well,like short story, novel, drama and essay. One thing is very clearthat there is an under current of spirituality in this storehouse ofliterature. Right from the Vakhs of Shitikanth and the great Lal Dedand the Shrukhs of Nunda Rishi down to the compositions of the contemporary poets,there is an element of spirituality that highlights the basic thinking of Kashmiri people.At places the spiritual content is vivid and clear and at other places it is subtle andhidden. The Muslim Rishi-poets from Shams Faqir to Ahad Zargar, the Hindu devotionalpoets from Paramanand and Krishna Razdan to Master Ji have all contributed to thissubject, each in his unique way. In most of these writings there is an element ofmystery because the spirituality by its nature is mysterious and unfathomable. LalDed in her straightforward way asks, ‘Yas na kenh vanan tas kyah chhu naav – What isthe name of that Nameless One?’ Now compare this with what Masterji has said. Hewrites, ‘Kartam kaemtamath bona pot tshayi doore dyuthmut, sanyav kanav ti buzmut,sanis manas ti byuthmut, taemsund chhi aes dooryer zarith sui monmut chhuk ruthmut– sometime in the hoary past someone has seen some shadow of somebody from adistance; we have so heard and our mind has believed in it. We have been sufferingbecause of his separation and have presumed that he is annoyed with us’. The mysteryof the existence of the Divine has been vividly felt and expressed by all these poetsand this is what intrigues us even today. That is why Rehman Rahi had to say, ‘Matoravarta irfanuk asar ho – Do not let the effect of mysticism wane away. Kashmir hasbeen center of the monistic school of philosophy. It is, therefore natural that our poetsand writers have been deeply affected by this view. Right from Lal Ded down to AhadZargar everyone has s ubscribed to this point of view. A ll of t hem have laidem phasis on the real and frui tful practices and denounced os tentatious ri tuals .Lal Ded s ays, ‘phiran phiran ny oth onguj gaji m anach dayi ts aji no – Tel lingthe beads you have only rubbed your thum b and finger but hav e not beenab le to rem ove the du ali t y fr om y our m ind ’.

same view in these words: ‘Ha zahida kyahchhuk tsa karan, raath doh goi tasbih phiran.Mokhta ravi fotus rachhit zom, roni mutsrithshroni shroni ko’t gom – what are you up toyou fool, you have been telling the rosary dayand night. Going after fake things you arelosing sight of the real pearl. Have I lost thejingle by untying the bells?’ This spirituality isprominent in the writings of Ahmad Batawari,Shah Gafoor, Nyama Saeb, Swachha Kral,Asad Paray and others. All these poets haveadvocated self-realisation and oneness ofindividual soul and the universal soul. Oneverse reads, ‘Ognuy sapanto dognyar travopana nish paan parzanavo lo – Be one withthe Divine, give up the notion of duality andtry to realize your self.’ Another verse reads,‘Ognyar soruy dognyar naba habba yi chhuybahanai – Everything here is verily one; thereis no duality but an illusion’. Ahad Zargar, amore recent poet in this lineage has put itlucidly in these verses: ‘dai sae bronh sapudoasus bui, ha ahad zargara door kar dui, puraada deshyekh panun deedar – only I existedbefore the Divine, O Ahad Zargar shun dualityand then alone you will realize your self. TheVedas say, ‘Ekam sat viprah bahudhah vadanti– Truth is one and the wise describe i t indifferent ways’. Pushpadanta has said, ‘Nrinameko gamyah – people treading different pathshave one and the same destination to reach.’Asad Parray has beautifully stated this fact inthis verse, ‘Kath chha kuni vath chha byonbyon – The truth is one but the paths leadingto i t a re di ff erent ’. I f w e read even th econtemporary literature we will find that thereis an under current of spirituality in every writingbecause the spirit is an important aspect ofhuman existence. This literature is our treasureand we must safeguard and preserve it. Ouryoung scholars will be well advised to conductresearch in various aspects of our literatureand write dissertations on these for the benefitof the lovers of the Kashmiri language. dd

Dear Raina Sahab,Thanks for keeping us posted about Harvan. It sure is a greatendeavour to promote Zaan and the Kashmiri culture. Lookingforward to it.

Chand Shridhar Bhat--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andheri, MumbaiDear Mr. Raina,It gave me immense pleasure to know that you are coming outwi th an E-m agazine ‘här-van’ . The need to dis sem inateknowledge about various aspects of our culture is as great andurgent today as it has been at no time. We have tried to rebuildourselves in terms of our physical conditions and economicalwell being. We have long way still to go to preserve our culturalmoorings. The place we inhabit with other members of our kindis the crucible in whic h cul ture grows and is preserved .Unfortunately we have lost that epicenter. This makes our effortall the more daunting. Magazines like ‘här-van’ can be a greathelp. Culture generally refers to patterns of human activity andthe symbolic structures that give such activity significance. Theseactivities are reflected in rites and rituals performed by themembers of the group. These are indicated in the literature,prose, poetry, epics, history, proverbs, and the like. I am happythat 'här-van' intends to expose our community members to allthese and more. That too in a medium, which is revolutionary.Internet has changed our lives already. I hope it will through‘här-van’ help us to reach our roots.

Dear Maharaj Krishen, What a gift on the dawn of the 60th year of ourindependence! Sitting here, at this early hour, (I am inDallas now) overlooking the vast golf course at theback of my daughter’s home, and reading the inauguralissue of 'här-van', our own e-journal, is a benediction,a boon. It transports me back to Kashmir - to the lotus-studded Dal Lake, the herb-invested Zabarwan, theS harika-blessed Harvan and the sweet-scented,nectar-filled Chesmashahi.

For some time it transported me also to the threes tages of my li fe in Kashm ir in three dif ferentneighborhoods - giving me the thrill of imagining thefirst snowfall from my bedroom window in my ancestralhome at downtown Rajveri Kadal on the bank of NalaeMaer; bringing alive the magic of the snow-balls ofgilder rose and the yellow blossom-laden branches offorsythia spiking up from my fence wall at my parents’home in Barbarshah as the morning breeze wafts themusic of the temple bells from Ramchander templenearby; unfolding the view of Shankaracharya templefrom the attic of my own house in Indira Nagar, with thesun shining it first morning rays on Siva that ruled thehearts of the denizens of Srinagar. Who says that wehave lost Kashmir when it is in our memory, ourimagination, our very being, our soul; when we havethe power to re-create it in our own idiom at our ownconvenience from where ever we be placed in thepresent? It does all this and more - brings so manypeople (authors of the poems, stories, anecdotes,reviews, commentaries, and other write ups) close tome - some I know personally and others through theirworks - getting us all together in this noble endeavorof recreating the past, living the present and buildingthe future. It is no exaggeration when I say that ‘här-van’ hasan excellent presentation and the material for thisinaugural issue can do credit to any good journal - the

R K Mattoo-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bandra, MumbaiThe Editor,Hearty Congratulations. I look forward to regular issueof this magazine on the net. I am sure this will be differentfrom others making the rounds. May I suggest a pageor two of Kashmiri writings be printed in Roman Script.I think there will be a larger readership of KashmiriWritings and in due course our objective of KashmiriLanguage will find its rightful place in our Homes.Instead of Internet Jokes, may we have some Kashmiritit bits. Kashmiri humour has its own flavour. Pleaseshare it with us. An exquisite picture of Kashmir shouldbe put up with each issue. Rafique Kathwari had putup on the net some most beautiful pictures I have seen.This was done a few years back.

The Articles should be a little shorter than theyare at present. Interest in reading these should notwaver and wane. I would love to read some anecdotalhistory of Kashmiri’s and their life style years back.My Father and Uncle kept us regaled over the years.Every Kashmiri should learn to speak Kashmiri. Notjust because it is our Mother Tongue, our Culture andHeritage which we should preserve and cherish, “ITALSO MAKES US INVISIBLE” in the presence ofothers, so our Uncle told us in 1951 and we allsiblings, some born outside Kashmir speak Kashmiriand so do our children (We left Kashmir in 1948).Our motivation has been “It makes us Invisible”.

Lastly I wish you grand success in your endeavourand again Congratulations.

Dear Shri M K Raina ji,Thank you for e-mail ing m e the E-journal. I am

conscious of the diacritical marks that are requiredto write the Kashmiri script in the Devanagri font.Since, I have the Sanskrit pfont, and I use the Vedicmarks to arrive at the possible structure, hope youwould put the correct marks in the enclosed letter tothe editor. My next e-mail would be a “Painting inExile” and a write-up on Master Ji Zinda Kaul. I wouldlike to suggest that a brief ‘Bio’ of the contributorsmay be given in the next issues. Jaya Ji sends herNamaskar and good wishes, she will be sending herwrite-ups regularly.

Faridabad, HaryanaDear Shri M K Rainaji,Accept my compliments for your innovative venture.I’m mailing you an urdu poem in english script. Thispoem was penned down by me on my return fromSrinagar in the last week of January 1990. I had gonethere as a part of a three member delegation led bythe then AIKS President Brig. R N Madan. The othermember was Shri J L Bhat, former president KashmiriSamiti. I was the honorary treasurer of AIKS, duringthat period. We carried a few tons of vegetables,medicines and milk powder during that traumaticperiod when KP ’s were as ked to com e to themosques for these very essentials commodities.During our 3 days stay we met the then GovernorShri Jagmohan and surveyed the sentiment by visitingscores of KP families including our own relations, stillresiding there in the hope of better t im es . Weconcluded that the situation was hopeless and toldthem so. Rest is history. Times have not changedsince. Hence the relevance of my poem is still thereeven after these 18 long years of agony and patience.Regards,

I Just Needed To Use Your Car

After shopping for most of the day, acouple returns to find their car has beenstolen. They go to the police station tomake a full report. Then, a detective drivesthem back to the parking lot to see if anyevidence can be found at the scene ofthe crime. To their amazement, the carhas been returned.

There is an envelope on the windshieldwith a note of apology and two tickets toa music concert. The note reads, “Iapologize for taking your car, but my wifewas having a baby and I had to hot-wireyour ignition to rush her to the hospital.Please forgive the inconvenience. Hereare two tickets for tonight’s concert ofGarth Brooks, the country-and-westernmusic star.”

Their faith in humanity restored, thecouple attend the concert and returnhome late. They find their house has beenrobbed.

It didn’t take long time for thecontemporary serious f ilm mak ersl ike Mrina l Se n, Um es h K albag ,Shankar Bhattacharya to notice thesharp acumen and the flair for writingo f ‘A ru n P ra de ep Ka ul ’ , wh oassociated him as co-scriptwriter intheir ongoing Productions. A t thatpoint of time, the new entrant in theworld of filmdom felt that his middlename ‘Pradeep’ had lighted his pathand he chose to drop it and thus theyoungm an landed hims elf on thefirmament of Indian Cinema now onlyas ‘Arun Kaul’.

An Un su n g Gen iu s - Ar u n Ka u lThe analytic temperament and

deep incisive thinking m ade ArunKaul (now affectionatelyca lled A runj i) restive, as he fel t,‘heroes running around the treesc has in g he roines in Hindi F i lm smade mockery of Indian cinematicintelligentsia, of which, he believed,there was no dearth. He, therefore,founded the ‘F ilm Forum’ and ‘Forumfor Better New Cinema Movement’ inIndia.

S o on ra tio nal th ink ers , up -c om in g w ri ter s w i th in nov at iv eapproach and literatures joined themovement, which made run-of-the-mill cinema veterans skeptical aboutthe activities of this new breed.

The ‘Forum for Better Cinema’started importing award-winning filmsand docume ntaries from P oland,Ge rm any, Pr ague and ex hibi te dthese in metropol ises of India. Theintellectual class appreciated, nowav ailable, better cinem a and themovement of Art Cinema or ParallelC ine m a c au gh t on . A ru nj iautomatically became the focal pointof this new awakening.

N atura lly, th e v ariou s gov t.agencies dealing with films / cinemaand other cinematic institution of thecountry felt honoured to have ArunK aul on their B oards as either aM em ber or as an Of fice Be arer.B etween 1962 - 1980 A runj i w assim ultaneously connected with 18c on te m po rar y Na t iona l o rInternational film institutions like; hewas Member of the prestigious ‘FilmCensor Board’ - 3 times from 1968,Jury Member for National Awards(Documentaries and Short Films) andJu ry M ember for N ational A ward

Man who was never interestedin the m ateria l gains, Ar unji wasprincipled, courteous, humble and

Diksha (initiation) produced as well asdirected by Pandit Arun Kaul was adjudged asthe ‘Best Hindi Film’ and won Rajjat (Silver)Medal in the National category in 1991. It wasselected by the Directorate of ‘Film Festival’sNational Jury’ for inclusion in the ‘Panaroma ofIndian Cinema, Bangalore’ in 1992. It also won‘Film Fare Critics Award’ as the ‘Best DirectedFilm’ and in the same year it also got ‘YugshreeAward’ as the ‘Best Directed Film’ for Television.

The film apart from being in the portal ofIndian entries to various InternationalFestivals in 1992, it won two major awards : LePrix du Public and La Prix du Counseil Generalde L’Ardeche in ‘Annonay International Festival’,France in 1993.

Arunji’s pursuit to gather knowledge onall the forms of art led him to interact with thattime famous ‘Little Ballet Group’ an IPTA Branch,which used to hold world wide shows of IndianClassical dances; where he met a coy, dove-eyed and cute performing artist - Sharmishta in1963, who ultimately became his life-partner.Sharmishta bore him two sons - Vilash &Indraneel, who are also connected with filmsand are doing quite well in their respective fields.Though Arunji was a doting husband and anaffectionate father, yet the family had a grudge -‘that he was wedded to the films rather than tohis family’.

'Arun Pradeep Kaul' descended upon thisearth from the celestial milkyway as a beaconon 12th August, 1933 and left for his heavenlyabode as ‘Pandit Arun Kaul’ on 21st July 2007after enlightening the film world with a brillianceof a Genius (though unsung). When the historyof Indian Cinema would be written some day,Pandit Arun Kaul’s name would be recordedas the harbinger and a pioneer of healthy andserious cinema in India. jj

‘här-van’ – the net-journal of Project Zaan

Literature in Exile - An Appeal to Authors‘här-van’ intends to list up the literature (English, Hindi, Kashmiri) produced post-exodus by the biradari andgive it due coverage in the issues of ‘här-van’. This will not only contribute to recognition of the work done byour own biradari members, but will also help the authors reach masses.

We may be underestimating our biradari members by thinking that they don’t bother to spend a fifty ora hundred on a book authored by a KP. To our knowledge, the case is entirely different. We KP’s don’t mindto spend for the literature if it is easily available and if there are no hitches in locating the author, printer andpublisher. Nobody wants any hassles for as simple a thing as purchasing a book. But wherefrom and how?Most of the books carry the names of authors, printers or publishers, but no telephone numbers, or no e-mailIDs. Sometimes, even the telephone numbers are found changed or not at all working.

In order to take the whole index of books written by KP authors (post-exodus only) right to the readingdesk of the biradari (almost every home has a computer now and majority of them do have access to internet),we plan to publish the information on the subject in the issues of ‘här-van’ from 15 September 2007 onwards,in the following manner:

1. Name of the Book:2. Content (Whether Prose, Poetry, Essays, History, Culture, Religion, Stories etc):3. Language (If Kashmiri, please state whether Nastaliq or Devanagari):4. No. of pages:5. Author:6. Postal address of Author with Tel. and Mob. nos.:7. Publisher with address & Tel. No.:8. Copyright holder:9. E-mail ID of Author:10. E-mail ID of Publisher:11. Price of the Book:12. If already reviewed, by whom?13. Some excerpts from the Review if possible.

We would also like the authors/publishers to send the scanned photo of the book’s cover and the author’sphoto. A copy of the publication if sent to ‘här-van’, will be thankfully acknowledged and paid for.

Kindly help us to reach you.‘här-van’ will provide all logistic support to publicise your works, all free of cost.

Dear Friends,

The editor of Harvan, Shri M K Raina (MKR) has

asked me to contribute a regular health column for thejournal starting with the second (September 2007) issue.This is a big calling. I have great affection for MKR andhave no heart to decline his invitation. However, aftergiving it a serious thought I have come to the conclusionthat if I accept this brief, I shall approach the subjectrather differently. Yes, unconventionally. That is what Icommunicated to him.

The usual practice with write ups in the lay press onthe subject of health and disease is to tackle the subject,more or less, in the manner it is described in text booksof medicine - providing the definition, the causation, thepresentation, the tests and the treatment etc. of aparticular disease or a symptom - except to put it in asimple (layman’s) language. Often the description isimpersonal and boring; it burdens the reader with a lotof facts - controversial at times - that he/she could dowithout; it initiates in the sensitive readers an obsessiveprocess of imagining the symptoms and signs and anapprehension that he/she may be a victim of the diseaseunder discussion. Often, it leaves many questionsunanswered or raises new questions for which there isno direct way to get answers from the writer. In short ,more often than not, it stops quite short of the ideal ofwriting for lay public.

Another reason I intend to break this convention isthe fact that, since I will be writing for an E-journal, it isnot difficult in this age of information technology for thereader (web surfer) to glean information of this sort. Goto Google or som e sim ilar search engine, click themouse and there you are! Even the latest that may notyet have appeared in the text books will be dished toyou through so many web-links. Besides, a pedanticapproach can become dull and boring, particularly whenhandling the sensitive and difficult subject of medicine.The practice of medicine is the best marriage of scienceand art that demands of the practitioner more than mereknowledge and experience - a personal touch, a lot ofapplication and passion, and some measure of insightand intuition.

Yet another reason to do awaywith convention is the tendency forthe lay publ ic to take as gospeltruth whatever is wri tten about asubject by an expert, especially arep uted a uthor o r a p er so n ofrenown in the field. We live in anera of the explosion of scientif icknowledge. New facts come to lightev er y da y as o ld a nd ‘e sta bl is hed ’ be l ie f s g etdismantled. There is no place for dogma nor can anyoneclaim the ‘ final word’ on a subject. E vidence-basedmedicine is the buzzword. As an example I will relate arecent advisory by FDA (Food and Drug Administrationof USA) on common cold and cough remedies for kidsbelow 2 years. It has been reported that many kids sufferfrom serious side effects from some ingredients of theseover-the-counter mixtures l ike pseudo ephedrine anddextromethorphan especially if administered in wrongdoses. Now, these so called established remedies arestill being consumed by millions of kids round the globe,when, in fact, they may be working as mere placebos.While we endeavor to make the necessary evidenceavai lable, it devo lv es on th e inquisi tive reader toseparate the grain from the chaff and not leave it all tothe so cal led expert. He can do so by reasoning, byquestioning, by pres sing for m ore information anddrawing inferences from the facts and figures presented.

How do I approach the Health Page then?Well, my endeavor will be two-pronged - one to make itmore interesting at the same time as it is informativeand, two, to make it interactive.

Interes ting, by d oing aw ay wi th the t radi t ion alpedagogic description of disease or symptom-complexand by being avant-garde. For example, I would likemy readers to have a taste of case vignettes from mylong experienc e as an internist - interesting cases,bizarre cases, missed diagnosis, personal triumphs (so c al led m ira cle s) inc lud ing th e e ve nt ful e x ileexperience of the last 17 years. This w ill lend i t aper s ona l to uc h an d th e sto ries w i l l s pe ak m ore


Health Dr. K .L.Chowdhury

My Med ic a l Jo u r n ey



than being a mere recall of the events. They will give thereader some idea as to how pulsating, how challenging,how demanding the life of an internist like me can be andhow intricately the patients’ tales of woe, pain and anxietyare intertwined and interwoven with their hopes of reliefand cure at the hands of the doctor - a mortal like anyoneelse but, often deified and looked up as a messiah, anangel of life, as someone second only to god. And yet,how he also can be perceived as the macabre mercenary,the evil and devil incarnate when he falters and fails tocome up to the expectations of the patient.

Secondly, I intend to make the health page interactiveby inviting questions from the readers and attempting toaddress them as best as my experience takes me. Thequestions may be related to their own problems or theclarifications they seek on certain other issues or relevantto what I might have written in earlier issues of the journal.I am sure more ideas will emerge as together we moveon.I also intend to tackle some common problems related tomedical ethics; to the changing demands in medicine; tothe most burning issues of high blood pressure anddiabetes that are now almost epidemic in India, especiallyin our community; to the emerging issues related to nuclearfamilies, aging and the care of the aged in a world underattack from urbanization, and breakdown of social andfamily support systems. I could deal with some old mythsabout disease and its treatment, based on our social andcultural mores, that are difficult to dislodge from the psycheof our people.

In short, if my suggestions are accepted by the editors,I hope to make this enjoyable for myself as well the readerswhile I go back and forth in my chequered medical journeyof five decades.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Houseboats in Dal Lake

Kashmir has many lakes, rivers andrivulets. Many of them are negotiable byboats. Inearlier days, water aways served as themain means of transportation of men andmerchandise from one place to other.The load carrier boat was called Bahats. The one used for living or carryingparties around, was called Doonga andsmall boats as Shikara. But of interestare the ornate boats, build for luxuriousliving for visitors and nobels. These arecalled House boats. They have wellfurnished drawing room, bed room withattached toilets, with cold and warmwater. An attached doonga serves as thekitchen and service boat. The inhabitantsget personal attention from the ownersand their servants.

The credit for introducing them in Kashmirgoes to an enterprising Kashmiri Pandit,Pt. Narain Das, father of Swami Laxmanji.

Samarpan by Sadhak Piyaray Raina

Ou r Dist in c t Cu l t u r a l h er i t a ge[Saddhak is the pen name of Shri Piyaray Raina. Shri Raina is President of Samarpan Public Char itableTrust (Regd) which among other things is involved with bringing awareness of our cultural heritageamong our youth. He is a regular contributor of religious artic les in various community journals in Indiaand abroad. He is the author of book ‘Socio-Cultural and Religious Traditions of Kashmiri Pandits’published in USA. He lives in Atlanta, USA and DLF Gurgaon, India]

T he d is plac em ent of o urcommunity into various Diasporas isgradually alienating our youth from there al bac kg roun d of o ur c ul turalhe ri tage . The people l iv ing in aparticular environment and followingsame religious beliefs manifests intoa culture, unique to those people. WeKashmiri Pandits are inheritors of adistinct culture. We may considerourselves as Hindus but culturally weare different. Hinduism in essence isthe amalgamation of various religiouspractices which are rooted in theirreligious philosophy.

Broadly speaking, Hindus can bec la ss if ied into two g roup s -Vaish nav i tes and S hivi tes .Vaish nav i tes be liev e that al lm ani fes ta tion h as c om e intoexistence through the glory of lordVishnu who manifests as avatara fromt im e to t im e to take ca re o f hissubjects. Lord Rama and Lord Krishnaare just two of the nine avatar’s. Onthe other hand, Shivites believe allmanifestation has taken place throughthe grace of Lord Shiva who manifeststhrough his dynamic energy calleds hak ti . Wh i le S hiva is the m aleco mp onen t S hak ti is th e fem alecomponent of all manifestation.Thuswhile among the Vaishnavites it is them ale a spe ct of God whic h isextensively w orshipped, Sh ivi te sworship the fem ale-aspect S hakti .

Ge ogra phic al ly, Vais hnav ism isprevalent in central India from Orissato Maharashtra and from Punjab to MP.Shaivism is practiced in K ashm ir,Bengal and South India.

These philosophical backgroundshave lead to di fferent traditions ofworship in their respec tiv e areaswhich are enshrined in their manualsof worship called Karmkanda .

While the format for all Karmkandasis more or less the same as they areall rooted in the Yajurveda but littergyis different. Vedas are vast like anocean from which different peoplehave chosen recitations to suit theirmode of worship which is the causeof their uniqueness.Our Unique traditions :Some of our unique traditions are:1) Our family deities ( Isht devas ) arevarious forms of Durga ( Ragnya,Sharika and Jwala ji ). The Isht devtasof Vaishnavites are Lord Rama, LordKrishna and other regional deities2) Our recitation which we carry outon most of the occasions is mainlydedicated to our Isht devis. Most ofthese recitations are of local natureand are not recited by non KashmiriHindus. ( e.g. Bhavaninamashasra,Indrakshi, Panchastavi, Leele rbdaetc.) Ganash Stuti-Hemja stum is alsoof loc al or ig in . Sh iv S tut ies l ik eShivmahimnapar which is universalhas a local touch. We have 35

shlokas whereas outside K as hm irthere are only 32 sholokas . The onlyprayer for Vishnu prevalent amongKashmiris i.e. Jai Narayan is confinedto Kas hmiris alone . Vaishn avitescarry out recitations from Ramayana(e.g. Sunder kand, Hanuman Chalisaetc).3) We start our pujas with doop dippuja which forms the pradhan bhagha(first step of any puja). This is ourlocal tradition. Again Prepun which isextensively used by us at the timeof offering bhoga (Prasad) is purelya Kashmiri tradition. We celebrate ourbirthd ays wi th an extensive pu jadedicated to our eight Rishis whichis our inheritance.4) On Shivratri we of fer extensiveprayers to Lord Shiva-Shakti alongwith Vatuknath Bhairwa ( the highestbeing next to Shiva-Sh akti ). TheVaishnavite Bhairva is a maliciousbeing who is worshipped so that hed oe s n ot ge t ig no red an d thu soffended to create obstacles in ourworship.5) We celebrate Janam Ashtami asZa rm S atam , one d ay befo reVaishnavi tes celebrate i t as LordKrishna’s birthday. Same is the casewith Shivratri.6) C ele bra t ions l ik e K a wp un imKhicri Amavas, Shushar Lagun areour historical links with the past. Weenjoy preparations made on these



occasions.7) Yagnopavi t Sam askara thoughunive rsa l am on g Hindu s hasdev eloped a local tradition whichinvolves not only extensive ritualisticpuja carried over two days but alsoheavy expenditure. It is a small timefunction among Vaishnavites usuallycarried out for group of boy s atteenage or along with marriage of boy.8) Our death rituals (Anteshti) are veryelaborate which involves extensiverituals on the day of death and againon 10th, 11th and 12th day after death.Even Social customs associated withdeath are lengthy.

These are some of the traditionswhic h m ar k un iq uene ss of ourtraditions. Unfortunately, our priestshave almost given up their traditionalservice to the community and mostof our Diasporas are located in areaswhere Vaishnavism is practiced. It ishard for a Vaishnavite priest to carryout worship the way we do it unlessthey are trained in i t. We have toworkout a solution to preserve ourmost cherished cultural identity.

The trouble with beingpunctual is that nobody isthere to appreciate it.

A Conclusion is simplythe place where someonegot tired of thinking.

Never underestimate thepower of human stupidity.

The number of peoplewatching you is directlyproportional to thestupidity of your action.

Only those who attemptthe absured can achievethe impossible.

Committee is a group ofthe unwilling, picked fromthe unf it, to do theunnecessary.

Always remember youare unique, just l ikeeveryone else.

And they speciallysee k i t in th eir f am i l ie s ,the ircommunities and their relationships ingeneral ,where honest one to one talkis essential f or maintaining placidrelationships. People often react reflexively tothoughtless remarks that are tossedto them without allowing the actualproblem to be recognised. Mediators easily talk past each other and theirsense of alienation grows,rather thanbeing overcome. The famous sayingSpeech is silver but silence is goldenis helpful on ly as a n interimsolution,until wrath burns itself out andsel f c rit ic sm eme rg es to tak e i tsproper place. But then the tongue must be moved in order to aid the

mutual search forthe facts. Perhapsthis may lead to theinsigh t that y etano the r m ot to ismore appropriate – speech is golden. Speaking ,in effect, is reaching outto others, expressing your concerns,your criticism, your compliments andofcourse, touching others with yourfeelings. Not infrequently, seriousresentment and misunderstandinggrow out of the failure to talk soonenough to one’s partner, long timefriend, relatives or even children ,upon becoming annoyed, and therecan be m an y r eas ons for th is .Remaining silent too long is risky asprejudices m ay grow entrenched.They may become all the more difficultto dismantle, the longer a clarifyingdiscussion is postponed. The search for the facts deservesto be priori tised when the peopleconcerned seriously want to resolvecontentious issues , be it in personalor public life. SATYA MEV JAYATE affirming truth alone prevails & thebelief that sets it’s sights on the aimof crea ting an in dispe nsibleprerequisi te for sustainable conflictresolution by seeking out the truthrather than repressing it. This canapp ly a t both the lev els, t hemicrocosmic as well as macrcosmic.The big question then is whether thereadiness to learn in this way is universalhence the typical old school refrain -learn or leave, but saying so is importantfor speech is golden. jj

IN UPTOWN NEW ORLEANS

In this town of cafesand jazzI felt a connectionto my city of youth—Delhi.This link is the senseof wilted flowersof forgotten shapesand colours.It is the joining of college daysacross two generations:my father, meand my son.But New Orleans drowned –trees uprootedknocked down power polessealed moldy refrigeratorscurbside.As soldiers kept residentsout of the city,we sawa lonely,starving dogkeep guard at the doorof his abandoned home.In Delhi, the mayhem isdifferent:disguised bombersfrom the enemy’s secret armyshoot teachers and artists andrevelers in the street. jj

Militancy survives due to the vested

interests of the few. A few years beforeV il lage Defense Comm it te (V DC)

members in the jungles of Kishtwarused to give a good chase to thedread ed mi l it ants both loc al and

foreign ones. Vi l lage D efens eCom mittees are working under theclose s uperv ision of the S HO

concerned. At present VDCs havebeen di rec ted not to chas e the

militants. They have been asked to bepassive unless their village is attacked.

14th June 2007 to 20th June 2007, I

was trekking through Rathal & Vuiet them il i tanc y infested jung les o f

Kishtwar.Each VDC member is paidRs.1100 a month. The members are inhigh spirits. Most efficient Manpower

to outnumber mi litants is availablelocally. They are better acquainted withthe topography of the area. If recruited,

it would be cheaper and result oriented.I said to one of the mem bers :

“Being passive are you not in danger?The militants may take you unaware andattack you. How dare you live in this

militancy infested jungle along with yourother family members?” He said: “Weknow the over-ground sympathizers of

the militants. We warned them that ifone of us is killed, we shall not spare

even one of you and shall annihilateyour whole village”.While gossiping, to my surprise, I was

told that militants have gone to SinthalTop (Ht.12,450 ft.=3785 mt. above the

sea level) and they share the kitchen

of the GRIFF mess. Glaciers around,they even enjoy canteen liquor to warm

themselves up. GRIFF is the subsidiaryof the army, constructing Border roads.

Ram esh Bhagat (B hagats are

sc heduled caste) of V uiet was adreaded militant until he was capturedby the arm y al iv e in o ne of the

encounters. Thereafter the army usedto take him along with for each action.

He was being ke pt u nder c los es urvei llanc e unti l he wa s onc ewounded by the bullet of one of his

erstwhile colleagues. Treated in theArmy Hospital, he gained confidence

of the Army and has been recruited asa regular soldier. On my way back,ahead of Rathat, I saw one local coming

from the opposi te direction goingtowards the hilltop. I said to my localcompanion, Ashwani: “I believe he is

Ramesh.” He said: “Yes he is Ramesh.How did you plac e him ?” I s aid:

“Besides intuition, he resembles oneof the dacoits of Sholey”.

U nl ik e R a m es h , R a vi w as a

de dicated and cou rageo us VD Cmember. He had kil led a num ber ofterrorists. He was finally recruited as

a regular soldier in the Army. EarlyMarch this year, on a tip off, he along

with Ramesh raided the cave usedas a hideout by the mili tants. Overenthusiastic, Ravi all alone entered

into the cave, fought a fatal fight withthe inmates. B efore he em braced

m ar ty rdom , Ra vi k i l le d b oth themi litants hiding in the cave.

19 th., after lunch we left Vuiet for

R atha l. Ne xt m orning tw o ho ursdownhil l journey, we reached the

foot of the hill, Mugul Maidan, whichwas initially Mugul Mazar. It is 22kms. away from Kishtwar town. I had

to negotiate whether to take up theb ea te n r ou te- b ac k to B a to te -S rinagar or the M il i tan t infested

Tullamul on 23 July, 2007(Photo: Javid Dar)

Known widely as Kheer Bhawani and RagnyaAsthapana, Tullamul is situated 22 Kms. north ofSrinagar, in Gandherbal Tehsil. It is said that MataRagnya came to Kashmir during the times ofRamayana. The holy spring of Tullamul is situatedon the bank of a branch of river Sindh, called,according to Nilamat Purana, Tsandara Baga. It isapproachable both by road and by river. The maintemple is in the midst of a spring, the water of whichis observed to be changing its colour. The presenttemple was constructed by Maharaja Partap Singhin 1912 A.D. on the foundation of an ancient temple,said to have been destroyed in 14th or 15th century.The stone image of Devi in the temple is believed tobe more than 600 years old. The annual fair is heldon 8th day of the lunar fortnight of Jestha. It is saidthat the present diety was installed on this day. Thedevotees usually visit the Shrine on every lunarasthami. The Shrine is managed by Jammu andKashmir Dharmarth Trust. Devotees visit the shrineonly when on vegetarian food. jj






The sky was overcast and hadbeen so for many days with heavy tovery heavy rains. On this day the rainshad taken a short break though theskies continued to be gloomy.

It was early August 1952. I had justreturned from the school and waschanging my clothes when I espiedhim from the corner of my eye throughthe window. He ran across the yard inleaps and bounds on to the lane andtowards the Talao. Intermittently hehowled, yelled and scream ed. Hisoutstretched arms flayed in the air asif striking at som e unseen Ghost.Running after him were three burlymen with outstretched arms hopingdesperately to catch him. Finally oneof them managed a tackle and he fellbut not without a struggle. Soon allthree were upon him as in a scrum.He was lifted and taken home. Hisarms and legs were stiff with palmsclenched and he struggle and fought.His growling and howling got louderas they approached his home whichsent a chill down my spine.

A few weeks earlier I had seenShomu for the first time. He was tallwith sinewy muscles and a handsomeface. Dark in complexion. He joinedus youngsters in a game of Gil li-Danda. He hit the Gilli so hard it flewhigh in the air and miles away so itseem ed to me then. Shom u hadcome to Bombay in late 1949 alongwith his wife, two daughters and hisMother. Also his sister and her familycame to Bombay about same time

and were neighbours. Shomu joineda Film Production Company and wasdoing very well. His wife was illiterate,Ganwar, and I was told not goodlooking. She did not suit his newlyacquired Filmy lifestyle and receivedencouragement f rom his sister tosend her packing back home to herparents. Late 1951 the Film CompanyShomu worked for downed shuttersand he was out of work. But Shomu’szest for li fe and the F ilm Industrystrengthened his resolve to surviveand he soon started his own Fi lmProduction Company. Things weregoing well and it was expected thatShomu’s first Film was to go on thefloor shortly. A Then came that fatefulday in August 1952 when at at noonShomu received a telegram from hisIn-Laws telling him about his Wife’sdemise. Shomu read the telegram afew times before giving a joyous yelland screamed loudly which broughthis Mother and Sister into the room.On seeing them he screamed wavingthe telegram “She is dead, she isdead – you both can now rejoice andcelebrate”. He said this over and overand over again and then fell to weepingwith his face in his palms. He weptand he wept and he wept till h is eyesrefused to shed any more tears. Thenhe went silent and still, with a far offlook in his eyes giving a low moanocc as io nal ly. S om e elder s w erealready by his side and they weretrying to console him. Then he fellasleep for a while but not for long

when suddenlyhe s ta rtedlaughing loudly.He wa sb e s i d e sh i m s e l flaughing as i fhe had found freedom. When he wasalternating in his moods he was notlooking at thos e in the room . Heseemed millions of miles away. Thosesitting by him were taken aback asthey had never seen anything like thisand no body would venture a guess.Shomu sat up and smiled. Ran hishands over his shirt and straightenedit. Now he stood up and adjusted hispyjamas. All breathed a sigh of reliefand lowered their guard. They felt theworst was over when in a blink of aneye Shomu sprang out of the roomand on to the road with three burly menchasing him. After overpowering himand b ringing him h om e he wasstrapped to the bed. Doctor wassummoned who sedated him. At about8:30 pm a grey coloured van cameinto which Shomu was pushed in andstrapped. He was taken to Thana andcommitted into the Institution. Threemonths later news was received. Apal l of g lo om s et tled ove r theneighbourhood. It was darkness atNoon for Shomu’s Mother and his twolittle Daughters.

Shomu was DEAD. jj
