Media is busy with campaigns and people here are busy discussing whether Barry Gardiner really ripped Nidhi Razdan apart.
This topic would soon be banned on ICF as well.

As a dazed population struggles to comprehend just what hit them, there is unanimity across the religious divide that sectarian election politics is the culprit All it took was two motorcyclists swerving too close to a procession heading for Id prayers to set off a communal conflagration that has claimed four lives, left scores of shops and houses burnt, and a fragile Hindu-Muslim amity on the edge in Kishtwar town of Jammu and Kashmir. As a dazed population struggles to comprehend just what hit them, there is unanimity across the religious divide that sectarian election politics is the culprit. Just who did the mischief is a minor detail. On Monday, as the State government kept up its firm blackout on all news emanating from Kishtwar town, keeping it out of bounds for journalists and blocking internet services, some news did filter out. Despite the resignation of Home Minister Sajjad Kitchloo — legislator from Kishtwar and who was present in the town as it burned — people continued to defy the curfew and a violent clash took place between protesters and the police in which one officer and several others were injured. There is anger on both sides. The Muslims are angry because their Id prayers and procession were allegedly disrupted by a couple of Hindu youth, and the Hindus are enraged that most of the shops burnt are theirs. The annual Machail Yatra to an ancient Hindu pilgrimage in Kishtwar has also come to a standstill after some vehicles of yatris were damaged. According to the police, 48 shops were burnt, three of which belong to Muslims. Kishtwar residents, however, say that more than a hundred shops, two hotels and six houses have been burnt. One of them is Haji Faheem who saw his plywood shop on Hidyal chowk being burnt before his eyes. “A dozen or so police officials including one officer watched, even as I begged them to do something to stop the mob. Even if they were a few in number they could have fired in the air,” he told The Hindu. Pritam Gupta’s shoe shop near the Dak Bungalow met a similar fate at the hand of a Muslim mob. He rushed into the Dak Bungalow that was a refuge for Mr. Kitchloo as well as the deputy commissioner Mohammed Saleem (now removed) and some 200 odd security men. Says he: “I pleaded with the DC to do something. He told me to sit on a sofa near him. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as the town burnt, these officials sat and watched. Some order was restored only when the army columns entered the town.” Kishtwar has a Muslim-Hindu population ratio of 60:40. Two decades of militancy has led to some suspicion here. Mr. Kitchloo of the National Conference defeated Sunil Sharma of the BJP by approximately 2000 votes. It is common knowledge in the district that tension had been building up between the two communities in the days before Id.

Please post some credible links from the media - jihadwatch does not qualify as one. Locking the thread till something more credible can be produced.

Curfew continued for the 12th day on Tuesday in Kishtwar town of Jammu and Kashmir. Curfew continued for the 12th day on Tuesday in Kishtwar town of Jammu and Kashmir. Police said they have recovered nine guns looted from a gun-shop by rioters Aug 9. Curfew was relaxed for four hours on Monday, during which the situation remained peaceful with no report of any untoward incident. Kishtwar District Magistrate Basheer Ahmad Khan said curfew was relaxed for two hours in one portion of the town and for another two hours in the other portion. "The situation remained completely peaceful during the curfew relaxation period," he said. Police in Kishtwar have recovered nine of the 22 guns looted from a local gun-shop by rioters in Kishtwar Aug 9. Some people have been arrested in this connection, police told IANS. An all-party delegation comprising representatives of the regional National Conference (NC), the Congress, Bharatiya Janata Party, Samajwadi Party, Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Shiromani Akali Dal, Bahujan Samaj Party and Nationalist Congress Party met 70 representatives of the minority community in Kishtwar Monday evening. The delegation is scheduled to meet representatives of the majority community Tuesday. The main opposition party in the state, the People's Democratic Party (PDP), did not participate in the all-party delegation, with its leaders claiming that they were kept out of the delegation by the NC-Congress ruling alliance. An official statement by the administration, however, said all political parties had been advised that the delegation would leave for Kishtwar from Jammu at 8 a.m. Monday. "All those leaders who came to the departure venue were included in the delegation," the statement said.

Several hurt in clashes between Hindus and Muslims in Indian Kashmir

(Dar Yasin/ Associated Press ) - A Kashmiri man shouts for help as he carries an injured young woman after she was hit by a tear gas shell fired by Indian police during a clash with anti-India protesters, at Eidgah, or an open-air mosque, in Srinagar, India, Friday, Aug. 9, 2013. Indian forces used tear gas and pellet guns to quell thousands of stone-throwing protesters who took to the streets after special Eid prayers on Friday in the Indian portion of Kashmir. CAPTION2Share to FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedInAdd to PersonalPostShare via EmailPrint ArticleMoreBy Associated Press, Published: August 9 SRINAGAR, India — Indian forces imposed an indefinite curfew Friday in a town in the Indian portion of Kashmir after firing tear gas and warning shots to disperse groups of Muslims and Hindus who clashed during Eid celebrations, police said. The army began enforcing the curfew as rival groups attacked each other with stones and sticks, and burned several shops and vehicles in Kishtwar, a town 200 kilometers (125 miles) southeast of Srinagar, the main city in Indian-controlled Kashmir. .Several people were hurt in the clashes, said one police officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to talk to reporters. The trouble erupted after Hindus objected to Muslims shouting raising pro-independence slogans on the Eid al-Fitr holiday, which caps the fasting month of Ramadan. State Home Minister Sajad Ahmed Kitchloo, who is from the area, escaped unhurt when his motorcade was attacked with stones by the clashing groups. The state director-general of police, Ashok Prasad, said “the situation is serious and our priority is not to allow the situation to escalate.... We are trying to enforce the curfew strictly.” Anti-India feelings run deep in Kashmir, where about a dozen rebel groups have been fighting against Indian rule since 1989. More than 65,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed. The rebel groups have largely been suppressed by Indian troops in recent years, and resistance is now principally expressed through street protests. Indian forces also used tear gas and pellet guns to quell thousands of stone-throwing protesters who took to the streets after the special Eid prayers in Srinagar. Dozens of protesters, police and paramilitary officers were injured in the clashes, another police officer said. The protesters chanted “We Want Freedom,” and “Down with India” as they marched through the streets of Srinagar. The injured included 19 police and paramilitary soldiers, said Kishore Prasad, a spokesman for the Central Reserve Police force. Several separatist leaders were put under house arrest on Thursday night to stop them from leading the protests ahead of the holiday, and shops and businesses were closed in the region. Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan. They have fought two wars over its control since they won independence from Britain in 1947. The Indian portion of Kashmir is the only Muslim majority state in a predominantly Hindu country. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

I don't understand why the national govt does not encourage migration to Kashmir from the rest of India, offer tax incentives and economic benefits and change the situation on the ground. The Israelis do it and it has worked a treat.

This appears to be a fake news... Hindus have no right or any legitimate reasons to claim victimization... Claiming victimization is in the domain of 'ROP', only...
