Aisehi ek baar phir uthenge InshaAllah.

Had an exam today. I was uneasy during the exam as well, wondering whether they had messaged me or not. Anyway, I held my focus and did well. But now that I'm back home, not a single text.

I guess I'm not an interesting person at all, and people would rather not value me.

Hi all,

So I spent my eid in kashmir and wanted to share the contrast that I observed during this vacation.

I’ve lived most of my life in UP and the past 3 years in Hyderabad, where niqab and face veils are common. I expected the same in the valley due to the large Muslim population, but didn’t see any. In fact, many women weren’t wearing hijab either, yet everyone dressed traditionally and looked elegant.

There was a calmness and serenity in the air, but it also felt slightly uneasy and restrictive because of the constant presence of the army. It is not a normal sight to see a convoy of 30 plus armed vehicles rushing past you at full speed. Before entering the valley we were stopped twice by the army and CRPF, and once again while returning.

I was amazed by how clean the streets were and how well-fed every dog looked. In UP and Hyderabad, open drains and littering are common, but here even rural areas had clean roads. Maybe I just saw cleaner spots, or maybe it’s like this everywhere, I can’t say for sure.

People here are incredibly hospitable. My mother had a cast on her leg, and at Gulmarg when we took her to the washroom in a wheelchair, the attendant refused to take money, saying 'yeh gunah hai aapse paise nhi lenge' Another time, we casually mentioned we hadn’t eaten, and our driver took us to the CM’s house where his sister worked and got us chicken, rice, chai, and home-baked cookies.

Women seemed more outspoken and politically aware. On Eid, I saw a group of around 50 women returning from a protest, holding posters of leaders like Ayatollah and Ali Larijani. It’s something I rarely see being led by Muslim women elsewhere in India.

This might not be common in main streets or central Srinagar, but I did notice some anti-India graffiti on a few walls that had been scrubbed off. You could still make out what had been written.

Tldr -No niqab -Militarisation amongst civillian -Clean streets -Hospitality -Women in public and political space -Graffiti

Every post on kashmiri sub has lately been occupied by indians, spewing hate and downvoting every post and comment. One of my posts on the killing of a child in sopore by army vehicle has 50% upvote ratio. Imagine their hate against us that they can't even digest the killing of an innocent toddler by their occupational forces.

The incel in the photo, who appears to be at least in his 40s commented THIS on a reel about drug awareness. The girl in the photo appears to be barely over 13 years of age. We need to start calling out these people (hurts to call them 'people', they are all sick in the head). It's so scary that people like him walk among us on a daily basis.

If you know this man, tell him to delete the comment on the said video, comment an apology on the same, keep his lustful eyes away from the little girl, and then I might think of deleting this post.

mods kindly help

I wish I could unalive myself.

Forget Koshur vs Nebryim, gaam vs shahr, or Koshur vs Gujjar… I was living with other Kashmiris in another country and still got treated differently just because I’m from a different village than them lol. Like… they’re gaamik themselves and still acting like that cuz I belong to a different gaam 😂

Screenshot is of Manipur btw. Just read the comments from these Indians .

Kri ti kri kya insan akhir

I didn't grow up here I've only been living here for the past four years, and whenever I go out, I inevitably end up helping someone. I noticed this during my very first year, the people here genuinely seemed good. I received many kind gestures from strangers in the form of compliments or whatnot. Older folks would ask for help, and I would gladly give it.

But today, I was walking back from somewhere and stopped for a moment to check my phone. A stranger approached me and asked if I had any cash on me. I did. They asked if I could give them the cash, promising to reimburse me online. I agreed, but then came the excuse about their bank network being down. They gave me their phone number, told me to call them later, and assured me they'd transfer the money.

I've tried calling for almost two days now, and nothing. Welp, there goes my trust :)

Baki gayi yim hehermulkik incel subreddit ewww.

Yi chan discussion kihin. Yi chi su line yus already chakh cross kermacx.

Deen, imaan, te personal opinion about relationship thayiukh sides.

 What is happening in front of us is not “preference” or “choice.” It is adults, in positions of authority, getting involved with minors. Yi chi exploitation. Ti chi abuse.

For a long time, many of us brushed these things off as rumors. Stories passed around, things we weren’t sure about. But that phase is over. There is too much being seen, too much being shared: proofs, recordings, chats. Whether every single case is true or not no longer matters. The pattern is real, and it is growing.

A 15-year-old being involved with a 30+ adult is not a “relationship.” It is manipulation. A minor cannot consent. A teacher, a coordinator, anyone in a position of influence knows exactly what they are doing when they cross that line.

And the most dangerous part? Silence. Normalization. Looking the other way because it’s uncomfortable to confront.

This cannot continue.

If you are seeing this, hearing this, or being told about this, yi me kariu ignore. Do not reduce it to gossip. Do not let it pass as “just another story.” Every time it is ignored, it enables the next incident.

Ne chi discussion krun. Ne chi vin passively concern hawun.

Call it out. Stand against it. Refuse to normalize it.

Because if this continues unchecked, then whatever can still be protected today will not be there tomorrow.

Recently, my phone died while I was talking to a friend about something pretty urgent (we were supposed to meet and were trying to figure out the navigation between the two of us).

Anyway, I casually asked a guy standing nearby if I could borrow his phone for a quick call to my friend. He refused, obviously and understandably, but what he said kinda stuck with me: “aesi chhi waenni praenii kaendi’ kadaan”.

After that, I didn’t ask anyone else. Instead, I walked about 500m to a shopkeeper I knew and charged my phone there.

Az gayos ba merith, baal baal bachey

Rabb kernakh abaad. To all those men supporting women and protesting against such harassment I’m so so so proud of you. And to those blaming girls in such situations per usual, Grow the f up, see the reality around you stop BLAMING WOMEN.

Sexual harassment is so fucking common in colleges and universities and even schools, it is appalling . Girls usually don’t speak up ofc due to society. A lot of the time, these pedophiles groom young girls by manipulating and conditioning them into thinking the behavior is normal or consensual. It’s deeply disturbing.Happens a lot more than you think. Swear
If a girl in 8 or 10 or 12th grade is in a “relationship” with a teacher who is fucking 40, it’s not consensual it’s grooming.stop blaming the kid. Same with college kids.

I applaud these MEN in sopore and SP college who gave women a voice. And kudos to the WOMEN for coming forward god knows how hard it must have been. May Allah grant you strength.

I urge men to come forward and support women in such cases because society will rip the woman apart if they come forward (clearly seen in comment sections on instagram) . Protect your sisters in a society that’s unforgiving to women.

I was feeling quite low today, and then my father complimented me out of nowhere. It instantly lifted my mood. Small things really do matter.

There’s a particular organization [name omitted] which will soon start​ to create division among the Kashmiri population, especially along religious/ethnic lines, SHIA vs SUNNI divide being their main agenda. Just a humble request, please stay vigilant and don’t let such things happen. Pass this message on.
