"Sanjay Kak and his dreams of Aazadi"


Sanjay Kak's Safar-e-Aazadi and Yasin Malik's Jashan-e-Aazadi. Or, Am I confused? Oh yes its the other way round, but how does it matter to the common Kashmiri's. The only difference is that one is the puppet and the other is the puppet's thread puller.

Sanjay Kak obviously irritated because of the amount of criticism his masala movie is receiving and also lately the Police has also stopped his screenings and confiscated his DVD's in Mumbai. In mere frustration he blasted off writing an article targeting a young group of Kashmiri Pandits and some others for this mess up, not realising what he was bouncing his fingers on.

Obviously, his masters wouldn't be so happy with him because of the negative success he is getting lately because of this youth group called ROOTS IN KASHMIR.

Mr. Kak writes, "These net-warriors (net-bullies, really) are living out a sort of fantasy life on the web, able to say what they want about the film, abuse, propagate falsehoods, lie, whatever. And all the time imagine that what they are doing is some form of activism."

Kak, I can only laugh at the way you vented out your frustration. Yes we very much are net-warriors in a very positive sense and for good. You surely have experienced that in last 6 months. Yes we maybe in our fantasy worlds but when it comes to real screening of the movie we can get an audience more then double then yours at India Habitat Centre. Won't you agree Kak, as you were also one of the participants of our screening?

I never knew you have done masters in activism, please do guide me as to what real activism is. We individuals of the Roots In Kashmir group have in the past been involved in initiating campaigns like the Justice For Jessica Lal and Priyadarshini Mattoo Campaigns, Anti-Caste Based Reservations Campaign, Justice For Nithari Victims, Right To Information Drive, Human Rights issues of Kashmiri Pandits, Campaign against Blueline's in Delhi and a number of them and only because of this 2006 is often refered to as the year of activism. Please do check your facts and do your home-work properly before blabbering your mouth uncontrollably and throwing your fingers on the keyboard without watching every word.

I can never agree that Yasin Malik just entered your screening in New Delhi as a common person and then was seated in the front row and then was invited to give a speech. I suppose things just happen with you by chance always, never planned as if. Neither have I till date known the source of your fund for the movie, but ... does it really matter?

Another correction Mr. Kak, We never protested before the movie started in New Delhi. It was in the middle of the movie when some mis-information was being shown. And, yes you didn't let us in, just because you were scared of Kashmiri Pandits and their reaction to your bias efforts to please a certain lobby. There were no security issues, we all were students, doctors, teachers and professionals, we had no guns with us - just a placard asking "What about our Human Rights?". There was nearly 50 sears empty inside the auditorium where we were later accomodated after our protest.

At the end Sanjay Kak, I just want to convey that we have nothing against you...You are just an innocent puppet being played by your thread pullers sitting there somewhere where they killed thousands of innocent Pandits and now are roaming free. Who the hell is bothered about you? Who are you that we will oppose or support you? We are against those puppel waalahs. I'm just sad that you got carried away but yes there can be many reasons to it.

Hope you realise the nature of job in which you have been put by your thread puller.

God Bless You. God Bless your Masters !
