Sir,
When the ruralites in J&K would make hey? When the sun would shine for them? When they would see ray of light in their life? When their cherished dreams relating to on ground development would come true? When the elite at the helm of affairs would realize their awful difficulties?
So far as the developmental activities in rural areas are concerned the climatic constraints of monsoons and winters always create hurdles in the way. The painful reality can’t be over looked. The innocent ruralites are generally asked to understand the “un-favourable” situation. They are made to wait for the “Favourable weather” that never comes in these seasons which are known for rains and snow. On the other hand, during other two seasons that usually remain dry, the ruralities silently watch the ages old “Darbar Move” event in J&K from Jammu to Srinagar for summers and vice versa for winters.
In fact, in J&K State the Urban people on both the sides of Jawahar tunnel are fortunate and benefitted ones. Every opportunity and facility remains available for them for each and every month, season or situation. They may be in Jammu or Srinagar, it doesn’t matter. Whereas, the ruralites at both the ends are suffering equally, badly and endlessly since time immemorial. For their needs and demands, they simply are asked to have patience, understand the situation, wait for the funds, let the “Darbar Move” over to this side or that etc. The ruling elite under the pretext of lame excuses of such nature and many more victimize the poor and scattered ruralites for its own vested interests.
The ruralites of all corners and shades of the J&K State should awake, arise and fight against the deep rooted conspiracy hatched against them by those who are entrusted to protect by all means the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental right of “Equal Treatment”.
The prosperity and divine feeling of equality remains a distant dream for them. The developmental infrastructure created by the ruling elite since Independence till date in rural areas itself speaks volumes of the utter discriminatory treatment meted out to them at the hands of those who remained in power from time to time.
The heart burning discriminatory culture has not changed yet. And certainly it will not change until the unless the ruralites of both the sides themselves do not rise to the occasion, join hands and battle for equal treatment.
Yours etc…
