Maqbool Butt Shaheed

Maqbool Butt Shaheed whose execution in Tihar Jail, New Delhi by Indian government on Feb. 11, 1984 gave unprecedented inspirations to Kashmiri youth who, under the banner of JKLF started armed freedom struggle in July 1988 which gave a new life to the dying Kashmir Issue and Kashmiris freedom struggle. Maqbool Butt and Amanullah Khan (the present Supreme Head of JKLF) were among the founders of Jammu Kashmir Plebiscite Front (JKPF) and Jammu Kashmir National Liberation Front (JKNLF), the two torch-bearers of reunification and complete independence of the divided Jammu Kashmir State. Before going to gallows Maqbool Butt had spent about ten years in prison in India and Indian held Kashmir and over three years in Pakistan for his ‘Crime’ of demanding for his nation its inherent, recognised and pledged right of self-determination. This fact speaks volumes about the real Indian and Pakistani stands on Kashmiris basic human right to determine their own future.

1) START OF ARMED FREEDOM STRUGGLE

By the middle of Nineteen-eighties, Kashmir Issue as also Kashmiris’ freedom movement were almost on their deathbed. The Issue and the movement were being referred to by Kashmiri and Pakistani leaders in their speeches just to give the impression that they were interested in them whereas infact they did nothing practical to enhance their national cause. JKLF’s endeavors on international level to attract the attention and support of international community towards Kashmiris’ just cause had not proved very effective. As such, after his release from British prison after 15 months and his deportation to Pakistan, Mr Amanullah Khan, Chairman, JKLF, who had during his 9 years stay in the UK prior to his arrest in 1985, knocked at the door of every influential nation and institution through their representatives at the UN seeking their support to Kashmiris cause but had failed to achieve his objective, came to the conclusion that armed freedom struggle by Kashmiris could on one hand give new life to freedom struggle and on the other hand attract the attention of the world towards the Issue. He discussed the matter with his colleagues who agreed with him, as such, JKLF decided to start armed freedom struggle and started practical preparations for it. For a number of unavoidable reasons, JKLF had to get practical support of the Government of Pakistan which it did on the condition that Pakistan would not interfere in its internal affairs, would not have any objection to projection of its ideology of re-unification and independence of Jammu Kashmir State and that it would be wholly solely incharge of political indoctrination of freedom- fighters who would only be trained in armed freedom struggle and supplied arms by Pakistan government. So the ball was set rolling in 1987 when youth from Indian held part of the State were brought to Azad Kashmir, indoctrinated in political ideology and the code of conduct by JKLF and imparted practical training by Pakistan government and sent back. Armed freedom struggle was started on July 31, 1988. Freedom-fighters were strictly directed not to harm civilians, not to destroy civilian property, not to give any heed to communalism, regionalism and to discourage with full force both these social evils. The freedom fighters had to attack only Indian armed forces of occupation deployed in Kashmir and their installations. The popular response to our call was far beyond our best expectations and flow of freedom-fighters from Indian held Kashmir to Azad Kashmir was so heavy that we could indoctrinate them properly neither in ideology nor in code of conduct with the result that some of them fell into the hands of those sections of Pakistan government who were against our political ideology of States independence and did not want us to be in full command of the freedom movement. So, they very secretly won over some active freedom-fighters and floated groups and indoctrinated them against our political ideology and withdrew support to us with the result that we lost control of the movement specially after incidents when Indian forces and our rebels supported by Pakistan almost joined hands to crush us.

Kashmiri Americans Rejoice at the Establishment of the Unified Kashmiri Voice: Dr. Fai

Washington, D.C. June 20, 2008. Dr. Ghulam Nabi Fai, Executive Director, Kashmiri American Council/Kashmir Center said that in the history of self-determination movements, it is strikingly clear that people cannot become free unless they learn to master themselves. In other words, those struggling for the realization of their society’s collective and inalienable human rights must focus on the needs of the people. Second, by doing so, they understand that while every struggle contains seeds of dissension, it is only from the alliance of the one, working with and through others, are great things born. Leadership, more succinctly, is precisely that. After all, leaders must be cognizant of the needs of those they are responsible for, fulfill that responsibility without recourse to personal well-being and harness diversity into unity. In addition what matters is not who obtains public credit for success, but that success is achieved. Recognizing this, the two chairmen of the All
Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Syed Ali Geelani came together, under a broad-based common platform and agreed to jointly continue the freedom struggle by forming a unified Kashmiri voice.

Dr. Fai that this monumental meeting began in solemn recognition of three key points; first, the tens of thousands killed, maimed and tortured along with the other countless untold sacrifices of the Kashmiri people; second, that, according to the Hindustan Times; and IBN/CNN survey on August 13th, 2007, 87% of the people of the Valley want ‘Aazadi’ – or, the right to be free, exercise their basic right of self-determination and decide their destiny for themselves; third, the illegal transfer of Kashmiri forestland to the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board. Following their lengthy deliberations, both Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Syed Ali Geelani addressed a joint press conference and agreed on three key principles; first, that self-determination is an inalienable human right and that peace initiatives must be tri-partite, thereby, including the legitimate representatives of the Kashmiri people; next, the formation of a joint committee that will devise new procedures, strategies and
methodologies for the Kashmiri freedom movement; and, lastly, to reinvigorate the 1993 Constitution of the All Parties Hurriyet Conference.

Dr. Fai emphasized that both Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and Syed Ali Geelani have shown magnanimity and wisdom by coming together. Moreover, they have taken giant strides in creating a vision, developing strategy, enlisting cooperation, and motivating action. However, significant challenges still confront them. As effective leaders, they must symbolize and understand the past, set immediate tasks for the present, and create a vision of the future that takes a rational and strategic approach for moving towards that vision. Also, they are encouraged to enlist the support of other key Kashmiri leaders outside Hurriyet conference whose cooperation, compliance, or teamwork is necessary to actualize that vision.

Dr. Fai said that notwithstanding that, today, all those who support the cause of justice, are rejoicing at the establishment of the unified, legitimate and sole voice of the Kashmiri people. After all, in the striking words of Thomas Jefferson, ‘it behoves every man who values liberty of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the case of others: or their case may, by change of circumstances, become his own.’

How to create Dual windows operating system

The creation of Dual operating System is extremely and easy option. First get the Hardisk ready with its partitions. Usually if its a 80GB HDD then partition C: 10 GB FAT32 D:20 GB FAT32 E:20 GB FAT32 F: 20 GB FAT32 G: 10GB FAT32.
After the HDD is partitioned use the bootdisk of Windows 98/ME to boot and start setup. Use installation directory as C:\Wndows no trouble. Finish your win98/ME installation.
Then use your WinXp , Boot cd recommended On boot choose D: as your installation directory. Jobs done. Your system will have dual booting option. This post is outdated cause nowadays The Motherboards do not support Win98/ME.
Similar way can used for vista too with some changes
In Windows Vista you require a minimum of 40GB partition for its installation. So i recommend a minimum of 160GB harddrive
partition C: 40 GB NTFS D: 40GB NTFS E: 40GB NTFS f:40GB NTFS
boot it initially with the WinXp boot Disk. finish your installation. then install Vista in D:
Its recommended to use NTFS cause winXp will not format in FAT32 format for more than 20gb.
Happy usage

Muslim Ummah finally waking up

Ameer, Jama’t-ud-Da’wah Pakistan, Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed, has said anti-Islamic elements are responsible for all the bomb blasts and terrorist activities in Pakistan, and claimed there were efforts underway to destabilize the country. He urged the rulers to review their policies and strive to unite the Muslim Ummah. He said it is imperative that all Muslim nations unite to confront the enemies of Islam and Muslims, and stressed that it is not possible to achieve peace and security within the country by trying to please foreign powers.

In his khutbah (sermon) during Salat-ul-Jumuah (Friday Prayers) at Jamia Masjid al-Qadsia he said a tour of the Middle East by the U.S. president to beg for lower oil prices was proof that the U.S. had become very weak economically. He said a wave of awakening is passing through the Muslim Ummah, therefore there was no need for Muslims to feel dejected or disheartened as Allah, subhana Hu wa Ta’ala, is changing the current state of affairs of the Muslim Ummah, and indeed the global scenario, due to the sacrifices which have been, and continue to be offered, by Muslims. He said the day was not distant when, in’sha’Allah, Muslims will rule Allah’s land.

Hafiz Saeed said Islam is a Deen (a religion without theological and political separation) of peace and security, yet Muslim nations faced the greatest strife in these times. Everyone in Pakistan too, is very upset with all the bomb blasts and terrorism and no one seems to have a solution to this situation. The rulers seem to believe that we can achieve peace by pleasing foreign powers, and the country is being destroyed in an effort to please them. The more they try to please them, the more punishment is meted out to them by Allah, subhana Hu wa Ta’ala.He said Allah’s enemies are trying to destabilize the country, while evil plots and schemes are being hatched against Pakistan’s nuclear program. He said Pakistanis are not the only ones to be upset with this baseless propaganda against the country’s defensive nuclear assets, in fact the whole Muslim Ummah is distressed and offended because of it.

Prof. Hafiz Muhammad Saeed said unity among all Muslim nations is the need of the hour. He urged Pakistan’s rulers to practice Islam in its entirety as Pakistan is the leader of the Muslim world and the whole Muslim world is ready to support it. He lamented that although Pakistan had achieved its independence on the basis of the Kalima Taiyibah (the Islamic declaration of faith), yet its rulers have always been disloyal to Allah, subhana Hu wa Ta’ala, and have always strived to run the country in accordance with Western systems. He said that lasting peace cannot be achieved in the country as long as the Quraan and Sunnah are not implemented as supreme laws of the country in accordance with the wishes of the people. He stressed that the interference of the enemies of Islam and Muslims in the internal affairs of the country will never cease until their systems are eradicated from the country
