Shravani mela @ Deogarh Baidyanath temple

Every year more than five million devotees from different parts of the country visit the Deoghar temple over a period of 30 days to pay obeisance to Lord Shiva during Shravani mela.
Lord Shiva known as Kanwaria in Deoghar district of Jharkhand began their foot journey to the Hindu pilgrimage places of Haridwar, Gaumukh and Gangotri in Uttarakhand to fetch holy waters of river Ganga.

According to Hindu calendar, Shravani mela begins on Shravan Amavasya, no moon day in Shravan month and ends on Shravan purnima, full moon day in Shravan month.
Legend says that Shiv Linga of Deogarh Baidyanath temple was brought there by a demon Ravana; hence the temple is known as Ravaneshwar Mahadeo temple.

RSS leader Ram Madhav

Who is Ram Madhav: 
Madhav was born in East Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh on April 22, 1965, and is one of the top intellectuals associated with the RSS today, according to Wikipedia.
Primarily a student of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Ram Madhav also has a post-graduate degree in Political Science from the University of Mysore, Karnataka.
Currently he is the spokesperson of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the largest voluntary organisation of the world.
He has also served as director in several film censor boards and educational institutes of India. He worked as a journalist for over 20 years with RSS-sponsored publications and authored 10 books, including biographies. He currently lives in Amalapuram, Andhra Pradesh.
Yes, people want their businesses to run, they want their education, better healthcare, but that doesn’t contradict that they want their basic freedoms to be restored.
 Militancy has gone down, but at the same time why have troops not been lessened? They are not here to fight militancy

But Jammu Kashmir and Ladakh are at loggerheads with each other. Wahabis, Barelvis, Salafis are all pitted against each other.

Today that mosque is divided — Barelvis, Wahabis, Deobandis…

As a Kashmir, most brought up on Sufi thought and ethos, but the young Kashmiri isn’t akin to that. There is a change which I see in the Islamic discourse in the Valley. 

But there has to be a serious effort to address the Delhi-Srinagar trust deficit and take a holistic approach.

At least 400,000 young Kashmiris are addicted

Let Delhi-Srinagar-Islamabad and Muzaffarabad too come to the table for a regular process.

4-step for Kashmir Peace

What they call 4-step now, is what our plan for self-rule was about. 
These were all part of our plan, endorsed by all the parties. Also you need an emotional process.

We can do it without challenging the sovereignty of either country, without losing anything, or conceding even an inch of our territory. Kashmir has been a bone of contention for India and Pakistan, now we would like to be a bridge, and a gateway to the rest of Asia.


  1. To begin with, you have to empower institutions and reduce security.
  2. Politicians have to stepped in. 
  3. Restore the links of Jammu and Kashmir to rest of the world.
    1. Give people de facto not de jure “freedom. 
    2. restore the old silk road
    3. connect Jammu to Sialkot
    4. do the Mansarovar-Kailash yatra through Ladakh, Kargil to Skardu, Leh to Xinjiang?
  4. Have a “joint mechanism”- 
    1. Let Kashmir people from this side and that side meet, have advisory councils, on trade, tourism, environment, disaster management like issues that meet twice a year.  
Kshmir Minister for Public Health Engineering Sham Lal Sharma  asked “whether they have ever thought as to how many employees had been working in the civil secretariat and how many of them were Hindus. “Of the 7,000 employees working there, hardly 200 were Hindus,”
