[Kashmir belongs to India:

From a very long-term time line perspective, it is evident that 5000 years ago there was no Pakistan or Muslims for that matter. Hindus or people who followed and believed in the Vedic principles populated the whole region.]

Baalak ! hum tum se ati prasann huay.On the basis

of your analysis,not only Kashmir but Afghanistan,

Pakistan,Sri Lanka,Nepal,Bhutan,Sikkim and Bangla-desh should immediately be reverted to India.

Furthermore,you are again very correct about the

forcible conversion to Islam of our forefathers.

Since charity begins at home,I suggest you should

immediately renounce the ``forced religion``

and get back into the fold of Hinduism.

Could you give me your phone number so that I can

get in touch with you in the first week of august

on my next visit to ``Pindi to learn some more from you.(Shishya-Guru parampara)

Regards.

re:Reply #: 214

Busharraf,

A very good and bold analysis. Bold because few Paksitanis see the way you do. They wear a mask of ideology which prevents them from seeing the truth.

Dude, I hope you don`t contribute to the humor section in Dawn. (kidding again)

But, I forgive you because you referred to me as ``Mr.`` Stuka!

Cool. Y`all in Chowk better learn some manners from this fine gentleman here Mr. Qureshi and henceforth refer to me as Mr. Stuka!!!

Re: Dost-Mittar #224

``...Shammi?...``

Do you have a question for me?

Busharraf,

Having read up on the Mongols and their invasion and sieges of cities in Persia, Eastern Europe etc. I`m pretty sure that many Kashmiris, Pakistanis and North Indians are descendants of both Mongol and native races. So maybe Kashmir should become a province of Mongolia.. But then again maybe we should just let them choose... whaddya say ? maybe they`re just sick of us all and want to go their own way.

Hope you liked the donuts :)

Busharraf #214,

I don`t think the Kashmiris would like you or I to decide for them. Why don`t we let them decide ?

Also, you forgot to mention how before the homo erectus took hold of Kashmir it belonged to the mountain apes and that we are actually their descendants. The suffering they went through remains undocumented.

Roohi,

Speaking of Irfan Husain, he has always responded to my emails. And so has Ardeshir Cowasjee. But Cowasjee is not as verbose in his responses as he is in his articles :-). Husain sahib on the other hand does manage to write a couple of lines.

Busharraf:

``...Now that we are, let us try to live in peace. Why can’t we shed our militancy? ...``

Count my vote of confidence for your proposal.

for ms roohi -- yes i should have clarified that we get between 100 and 150 letters by email every day and this does not include the ones that come by ordinary mail -- no newspaper responds to letters, and in any case they are not sent to be responded to, as in a newspaper can choose to carry them and the matter rests at that -- however all unsolicited articles that are sent, and if they are not used, get a response from the editor -- as for your reply from mr irfan husain, he is a contributor and not on the permanent staff and his replying or not replying to his reader`s emails is entirely his prerogative -- you also must remember that if our editorial staff replied to each and every email they receive there would be very little time to do the work and take out the paper --

well -- lots of people to reply too - first ras -- yes probably newspapers have their internal politics just like any other large organizations -- as for dawn being closed to you (cant speak for the other newspapers) there is no such policy to bar any writer permanently unless of course issues of plagiariasm or other kinds of dishonesty involved -- also, its not clear if you sent articles or letters -- however, you can send me articles and i can pass them on, on the normal email and address it to omar r. quraishi, assistant editor -- and as you can tell im not the ``cricket legend`` -- he probably is at least twice my age if not more --

now on to mr rsaxena -- your comment made me laugh -- of course i knew mr stuka was being more than mildly sarcastic and that was precisely the point of my initial comment, which i think you missed --

and tahmed321: well, im sure me and my colleagues are glad to see that you see the online edition of the paper serves a useful purpose --

Busharraf,

#214

Keep up the good work, buddy! Indians are going to nominate you as a honorary Indian citizen:))

Lemme ask you this, seriously...If you stood on a soapbox in Pakistan & said what you said in #214 publicly..I`d be curious to know how the common man in Pakistan (in general) would react?

I say this cos we Indians (in general) are as prejudiced as Pakistanis. I`ll bet you the INDIAN response will be ``this guy Busharraf will be hanged for treason against the state...or hanged for blasphemy against the good name of Islam; for expressing views like that!``..
