Azad Kashmir Hinterland
2008-06-21 08:01:00 There must be a point at which the sky meets the earth - horizon. Though it is not possible to tell where that point is. Wandering in an expanse of Punjab bordering Azad Kashmir, one can see ahead up to horizon through a blanket of dull light covering the green fields and occasional villages that are spread along the Dina-Mangla-Mirpur Road. Under the sun's watchful gaze, the valley between Mangla and Mirpur is normally quilted in a hundred different hues of green. Short ride through the valley in very is revealing.The construction of the Mangla Dam reservoir, one of the baggiest earth filled reservoir in the world, which has a perimeter of 400 Kilometers, has turned into a place of interest and recreation, very restful and clean. A building situated on the lakeside serves as a historical backdrop. My journey to Mirpur started from Mangla Water Sports Club where earlier the speedboat had been ferrying me (and a group of young students from Lahore) across the blue sheet of the artif...

Through the eyes of Brodie Marshall: Kashmir
2008-02-18 07:28:00 Yes we agree. We did take a very fuckin' long break in the middle. Anyhoo we are back with something special. This time around, inspired by the movie Darjeeling Limited, one of our correspondents decided to visit India first hand and write his experiences of the place. We are going to be publishing his views on the beautiful country here. TO start of here's the first one: KashmirI was feeling pretty confident leaving Europe from its largest city (Istanbul), in one piece and relatively scam-free, feeling ready for the initial shock of India. And flying over Syria, Iraq, and several other war-torn areas, it made me realize how cozy and secure I've been living all my life, couldn't even fathom what real political turmoil must be like.Fourteen gruelling hours later (and 6 hours stop-over in Qatar) I finally landed in Delhi at dawn, three days now with practically no sleep. And as I pulled out of the airport in a cab, it dawned on me that nothing I had ever experienced could have p...

Jihad only way to liberate Indian Kashmir: ex- Pak generals
2008-02-06 10:43:00 Several retired army generals have said that a holy war is required to liberate the Indian side of Kashmir.
