Afaq Aziz's Tehreek-e-Siyasat is an important work on a crucial phase of history of Kashmir, 1931-1953, and records the journey of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, while providing the essential Kashmiri Muslim perspective which is missing in all other works.

I have come across a ghost figure in Kashmir's modern history, a character about whom very little is known. Is there anyone, or anyone who knows someone, who can guide me through the life of Pir Maqbool Gilani. May be, a snippet about his life, a book, diary, letter, anything.

Young doctors accusing patients, desperate attendants of jealousy is demeaning. You do 36-hour shift for your career's sake, not as charity. If you are distressed, mentally exhausted in final hours of shift, talk to your bosses at hospital, have guts to offend your seniors.

The British had stripped Pratap Singh in 1889, and then installed a governing council which ruled Jammu and Kashmir till 1905. It was this British-appointed governing council which introduced colleges, hospitals and other infrastructures in #Kashmir.

Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah always, indiscreetly and discreetly, advocated for freedom & independence of Kashmir. He was never a votary for Kashmir's accession to Pakistan (or India). Also, the coup against him in 1953 was engineered because of his stand for Kashmir's freedom.

To add to Qazi Shibli's lovely conclusion about "... undermines objectivity", political dwarfs with fragile egos have tried to make themselves big by blaming their failures & incompetence on Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah.

An example of the butterfly effect. How the drastic shifts in geo-politics caused by the failures of 1965 Operations Gibraltar and Grand Slam, 1971 Operation Searchlight, and the defeat of Arabs in 1967 six-day war would eventually impact Kashmir.

I am nearing the completion of two-year research for a book on Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, with the entire timeline of events covered. If you got a question/argument which you feel is important, do drop a word in comments/DM/f2f over cups of tea (it will be of immense help to me).
