  6. Instead Of Making Life Easier For Pensioners, Widows, Transgenders, A J&K Govt Online Process Has Led To Misery

    In September 2022, the Jammu & Kashmir government began online verification to make welfare doles for pensioners, the differently abled, widows, and transgenders more efficient. Instead, reflecting similar glitches in other states, hundreds have been denied monthly income for seven to eight months due to lack of documents, system glitches and biometric mismatches, despite several trips to offices meant to help them.

  7. How the Quicksand of Counter-Insurgency Operations Has Hurt Indian Army's Core Value

    The recent Rajouri-Poonch incident has offered a chance to start the process of recovery and climb out of the morass. Distinguish between criminality and a genuine mistake. Instead of incentivising criminal behaviour using the plea of troops’ morale, prosecute and punish the criminals in uniform. Make an example of them. Ghazala Wahab writes.

  10. Why Pir Panjal is now a staging ground for militant strikes, from Rajouri to Anantnag

    Militants in Kashmir are retreating into forests around the mountain range, as they rely less on local support. This throws up several challenges.

  14. Years After a Pellet Bomb Blinded Her, Insha Mushtaq Has Little Tolerance for Empty Gestures

    The 23-year-old woman, who was blinded during the 2016 Kashmir protests, has been in focus over her admirable score in the Class 12 board exams. Having surmounted odds, she has little time for grandiose gestures or repetitive questions.

  15. At the #NaturalHistoryMuseumLondon, we are not only imaging our collections, we also do #georeferencing. Amazingly, the more we digitise, the more data we get, and we can even reconstruct travel routes.
    E.g.; Oleg #Polunin (bionomia.net/Q266663) collected in the "Kolahoi valley", #Kashmir, in 8/1956.
    He started his travel from Pahalgam in the south, via Liddarwat (now a camping ground) towards a "pass" on 14422 ft. altitude where Polunin collected several plants.

  16. Why some say Jammu and Kashmir’s compensation process for civilian victims of violence is arbitrary

    Questions are being raised as some families have got generous relief amounts and jobs, while others are yet to get anything.

  18. Night prayers at Jammu and Kashmir mosque

    The Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday night allowed congregational prayers at Jamia Masjid for the first time since the scrapping of the region’s special status in 2019, with next month’s proposed G20 meetings possibly forcing the change.

    The government faced tough questions last week after disallowing Jumat ul Vida prayers, marking the last Friday of Ramazan, at Jamia Masjid.

  19. At A Time Of Economic Distress, J&K Land Eviction Drive Imperils Livelihoods

    Traders. Scrap dealerships. Apple farmers. Hoteliers. Hundreds in diverse professions have seen their land—from high, rural pastures to city shopping complexes—seized and properties demolished, after Jammu and Kashmir was reduced to a union territory in August 2019. The rights to many of these lands were provided by previous state governments, some were gifted by erstwhile monarchy, others were encroached.
