APNE TOH APNE HOTE HAI......

Apne Toh Apne Hote hai
( our own are our Own)
Baaqi Sab Sapne Hote hai
(Everything else is dreams )

In an unadorned parlance , I shall insinuate our 'Apne' through this write-up to safeguard our own 'Sapne'... 
Kashmir had have been experiening many witching scenes of persistant brutalities. Perchance, every local and non-local had witnessed the blood-curding haps. Apart from the ghasty episodes and the inveterate stance on the horrible conditions , the people of the land have always engaged themselves in propitiating both the overbearing ( Indian/Pro-Indian) and preeminents ( Freedom Fighters )  as well. If we have a birds eye view over the retired past , we will witness to the capricious nature of some dwellers of this land. On one hand we do give pleasure  to the Indian and Indian sponsored emissaries through enfranchisement and on other , the toddlers of the woeful land too enunciate the demand for Azadhi.
At a time ,when the foreign and foreign based forces have left no stone unturned in overpowering the resistant movement, the class 10 or class 12 departed so called representatives ( MLAs, MLCs ,Ministers etc ) have embarked their kingly life under secured heating system or air conditioned rooms outside the state. Thanks for the then condemnation over the indefensible killing of juvinile population of Kashmir . I suppose, that might have been expensive from the space of a long-drawn-out.
One wonders , where the so-called representatives or let we shall call the pro Indian subservients should have been at facing the bullets and pellets in stead of the obsequiousness. Moreover, choosing the reliable and secured air-conditioned rooms in such terrible and lifetaking situations defies logic. We indeed are eagle-eyed to be able to spot their dissumulation .But the exasperation here is that the people who are mindful about their insincerity do forget the Indian monster realities of inhumanity and horrendous exertions like molestation of our sisters , mass rapes, fake encounters ,daily crack downs and a feeling of enimity for every Kashmiri.Over and above, the people do vote for them and bear a hand in suppressing the freedom movement . Although, the intention of the people may differ, some do it to live from hand to mouth i.e, ROTI, KAPDA AUR MAKAAN and, some yearn for differnt aim.Whatever the intent may be ,it detriments the movement through and through.
Furthermore, the mainstream politicians are good at gliding the pill by promising us of turning over a new leaf in ceaseless enraged and cheerless situations. Dreadful is the narrative that instead of derogating their treacherousness, we people do energize their freakish dictatorial.Moreover, the artful blueprints of Indian diplomates on Kashmir is sick and span to knock off the ongoing struggle. Along with the election drama, the GOI has now began politicking a common villager by raising him/her up as a Sarpanch or a Panch. Alas! the so called hamlet representatives ( Panchs and Sarpanchs) have been made as the sitting ducks.The entire population is thus provoked and commodified through their impactful gimmicks. The illuminati hegemony of Indian supereminents and their subordinates(mainstream)  have not only dissatisfactory strike on our freedom struggle but also amenable for holding back the people from the movement.At a time when the particular Ministers and MLAs require the vote bank, the buffeted and shattered population is promised with sham things and and who diagree with them is being thrashed ruthlessely through their intense and profound suppressing tactics or life taking weapons. And let somebody convey to them that we do not covet for Paani, Power or Nokri, we are the population known for sacrifices and relentless resistance.What such a bruised people need from you is to stop proclaiming the self-called representation , discontinue capitalising our sufferings and the most abstain from abetting the heists and rugged claimers of our land.
Don't you Know ? Even you people are owned for their pseudo cause. I suppose , you are the people who are being diverted , misguided, and manipulted by their pretended terminologies. All the same , not only you people but we too are indirectly provoked like they are good at.
There is no reason to grudge about the crumbled form because the effulgence still exist in our blood. We need to be dispassionate at the traitors, we need to be uninvolved,detached ,and the most sundered  rather being assistive.Alack! We are half accountable for the humilation we are suffering from, by supporting them in foreign supported elections an by forgetting the sacrifices and the most our birth right of Freedom.
Let us utter double-dealer insubordination on oath and politicize and instrumentalise our own victimhood.

Dear Indian Helpmates , You are our 'Apne ' and we don't want you to be like ' faux Sapne'.

More than usuall I and You shall wish ;
"Let something open up our wings,
let something make us fortuitous and our hurt suddenly disappears,
Let someone fill the cup in front of us as we had've been tasting only scareness, horrified , unauthorised and horror-stuck life."

Kashmir - The Victimised Paradise

The serenity allows us to rescript and review the desolation ,destruction , wreckage and loss which has inflicted on a land which resembles an established war laboratory , a graveyard or a funeralground . I am talking of a sacked paradise Kashmir , where majority live a pillaged, humilated , and disgraced life. The people here are apparently half burried , compelety abased , entirely buffeted , fully abused and half mortal. Unheeded by everyone, sold by each one , used by many, but the sufferings, agony and strife  which the people of my Nation are going through is something which hardly is realised.Kashmir- The bestowed heaven on Earth is all the same entangled in the political subterfuges and skirmishes between India and Pakistan.Although graced with breath taking natural beauty, this place reflects some monster realities of inhumanity, barbarism and grave brutality.This is the place where still grandmothers are raped ,sisters molested , mothers abused , elders humilated, youth tortured and children tormented , also became a laboratory where brutal and ferocious experiments  of deadly war tactics are carried out.It is true , that all parts of land who are mired in armed conflicts had witnessed such horror experiments but it is equally accurate that  a 100 year old grandmother is raped only here and not to talk of otherwar-novelties which this palce has so far watched. Disappearances,mass rapes, fake encounters , death by unidentified gunmen , arsons,loot and daily crackdowns is not only norm but an established and unquestionable institution.Some beasts disguised as humans devasted and shattered us . Equally accurate and dreadful is the narrative that many groups , parties ,and individuals who came with the promises of sympathy and hope also used us for their interests , and thus commodified us , let us alone  politicize and instrumentalise our victimhood. Our blood became their  wealth in banks , our tears their treasure , our soreness their news story , our humilation their honor, our helplessness their strength ,and our backwardness their vote bank . We are not only physically  tortured and abused but also excruciated and ruthlessly thrashed population. What we demand is made obscure , what we fight for is made unimaginable by their life taking weapons and with their intense and profound fear triks , what we cry for is not heard. Some brand us freedom fighters , some call us renegades , some tag us traitors ,some label us as terrorists ; some abuse us and some kill us. Let me but clearly explicate here  that we are not asking for sympathy , we are not begging for dignity ,we are not struggling for roads, water,and power  but what we unequivocally ask for is to stop marketing our agony , eschew politicizing our sufferings , abstain from trading our honor, discontinue representing us and desist from consoling us. We are known that for your personal excellence and benefits, our sacrifices are desecrated and our struggle and ethos are traded and compromised.                

Armed struggle is no doubt synonymous with destruction , devastation , killings and torture which this valley has experienced .But, the grave tragedy which we never imagined  and struck us badly is the treatment we got from our own 'poster people'. We have never anticipated that our sufferings will be capitalized by some to become intellectual and economic elites.On one hand there are uncountable number of orphans who are dying in sordid dirtiness, on the other there are those blessed few who managed entry into elite schools for their children. Our hen-peck voices have become just harmonious songs and poems for many; our cold blood which had spilled out from our body has become ink for printing money.The elite dominance and their omnipresent impression on our struggle is actually what is holding back our people. They are promised with bogus things,their energy is diverted, they are misguided, thinking manipulated and their struggle commodified. After every blood struggle ,we are rewarded with reckless terminologies.Their bloodied past, bruised history, traumatic experiences and torturous memories are disregarded like anything by none other than our “manufactured elites and elite intellectuals”.Many among them may interpret this write-up as something which is advocating the rights of the victims of humilation , and many mis interpret this piece as something which is directed againt those elite intellectuals who are hell bent to trade our suffering for their interests.Nevertheless, I must put it very explicitly here that my intention is never so. I just want to signal out the truth as my duty,it is up to them how to interpret or misinterpret the reality.

Forgotten Scientific legacy of muslim world i

Muslim contribution to Science...

excerpts from the book..."Forgotten history of Muslims" by J W Draper

What is taught:Modern anesthesia was invented in the 19th century by Humphrey Davy and Horace Wells.
What should be taught:Modern anesthesia was discovered, mastered and perfected by Muslim anesthetists 900 years before the advent of Davy and Wells. They utilized oral as well as inhalant anesthetics.

What is taught:The concept of quarantine was first developed in 1403. In  Venice , a law was passed preventing strangers from entering the city until a certain waiting period had passed. If, by then, no sign of illness could be found, they were allowed in.
What Should be Taught:The concept of quarantine was first introduced in the 7th century A.D. by the prophet Muhammad, who wisely warned against entering or leaving a region suffering from plague. As early as the 10th century, Muslim physicians innovated the use of isolation wards for individuals suffering with communicable diseases.

What is taught: The scientific use of antiseptics in surgery was discovered by the British surgeon Joseph Lister in 1865.
What should be taught: As early as the 10th century, Muslim physicians and surgeons were applying purified alcohol to wounds as an antiseptic agent. Surgeons in Islamic Spain utilized special methods for maintaining antisepsis prior to and during surgery. They also originated specific protocols for maintaining hygiene during the post-operative period. Their success rate was so high that dignitaries throughout Europe came to  Cordova ,  Spain , to be treated at what was comparably the “Mayo Clinic” of the Middle Ages.

What is taught:In 1545, the scientific use of surgery was advanced by the French surgeon Ambroise Pare. Prior to him, surgeons attempted to stop bleeding through the gruesome procedure of searing the wound with boiling oil. Pare stopped the use of boiling oils and began legating arteries. He is considered the “father of rational surgery.” Pare was also one of the first Europeans to condemn such grotesque “surgical” procedures as trepanning.
What Should be Taught: Islamic  Spain ‘s illustrious surgeon, az-Zahrawi (d. 1013), began ligating arteries with fine sutures over 500 years prior to Pare. He perfected the use of Catgut, that is suture made from animal intestines. Additionally, he instituted the use of cotton plus wax to plug bleeding wounds. The full details of his works were made available to Europeans through Latin translations. Despite this, barbers and herdsmen continued to be the primary individuals practicing the “art” of surgery for nearly six centuries after az-Zahrawi’s death. Pare himself was a barber, albeit more skilled and conscientious than the average ones.

What is taught:William Harvey, during the early 17th century, discovered that blood circulates. He was the first to correctly describe the function of the heart, arteries and veins.  Rome ‘s Galen had presented erroneous ideas regarding the circulatory system, and  Harvey was the first to determine that blood is pumped throughout the body via the action of the heart and the venous valves. Therefore, he is regarded as the founder of human physiology.

What should be taught:In the 10th century, Islam’s ar-Razi wrote an in-depth treatise on the venous system, accurately describing the function of the veins and their valves. Ibn an-Nafs and Ibn al-Quff (13th century) provided full documentation that the blood circulates and correctly described the physiology of the heart and the function of its valves 300 years before  Harvey . William Harvey was a graduate of  Italy ‘s famous  Padua University at a time when the majority of its curriculum was based upon Ibn Sina’s and ar-Razi’s textbooks.

What is taught:The first pharmacopeia (book of medicines) was published by a German scholar in 1542. According to World Book Encyclopedia, the science of pharmacology was begun in the 1900’s as an off-shoot of chemistry due to the analysis of crude plant materials. Chemists, after isolating the active ingredients from plants, realized their medicinal value.

What should be Taught:According to the eminent scholar of Arab history, Phillip Hitti, the Muslims, not the Greeks or Europeans, wrote the first “modern” pharmacopeia. The science of pharmacology was originated by Muslim physicians during the 9th century. They developed it into a highly refined and exact science. Muslim chemists, pharmacists and physicians produced thousands of drugs and/or crude herbal extracts one thousand years prior to the supposed birth of pharmacology. During the 14th century Ibn Baytar wrote a monumental pharmacopeia listing some 1400 different drugs. Hundreds of other pharmacopeias were published during the Islamic Era. It is likely that the German work is an offshoot of that by Ibn Baytar, which was widely circulated in  Europe .

What is taught:The discovery of the scientific use of drugs in the treatment of specific diseases was made by Paracelsus, the Swiss-born physician, during the 16th century. He is also credited with being the first to use practical experience as a determining factor in the treatment of patients rather than relying exclusively on the works of the ancients.

What should be taught:Ar-Razi, Ibn Sina, al-Kindi,  Ibn Rushd ,  az -Zahrawi, Ibn Zuhr, Ibn Baytar, Ibn al-Jazzar, Ibn Juljul, Ibn al-Quff, Ibn an-Nafs,  al-Biruni, Ibn Sahl and hundreds of other Muslim physicians mastered the science of drug therapy for the treatment of specific symptoms and diseases. In fact, this concept was entirely their invention.  The word “drug” is derived from Arabic. Their use of practical experience and careful observation was extensive. Muslim physicians were the first to criticize ancient medical theories and practices. Ar-Razi  devoted an entire book as a critique of Galen’s
anatomy. The works of Paracelsus are insignificant compared to the vast volumes of medical writings and original findings accomplished by the medical giants of Islam.

What is taught:The first sound approach to the treatment of disease was made by a German, Johann Weger, in the 1500’s.
What should be Taught:Harvard’s George Sarton says that modern medicine is entirely an Islamic development and that Setting the Record Straight the Muslim physicians of the 9th through 12th centuries were precise, scientific, rational and sound in their approach. Johann Weger was among thousands of European physicians during the 15th through 17th centuries who were taught the medicine of ar-Razi and Ibn Sina. He contributed nothing original.

What is taught: Medical treatment for the insane was modernized by Pilippe Pinel when in 1793 he operated France ‘s first insane asylum.

What should be Taught: As early as the 1lth century, Islamic hospitals maintained special wards for the insane. They treated them kindly and presumed their disease was real at a time when the insane were routinely burned alive in  Europe as witches and sorcerers. A curative approach was taken for mental illness and, for the first time in history, the mentally ill were treated with supportive care, drugs and psychotherapy. Every major Islamic city maintained an insane asylum where patients were treated at no charge. In fact, the Islamic system for the treatment of the insane excels in comparison to the current model, as it was more humane and was highly effective as well.
