Why the Qazi Touqeer Concert in Kashmir Sparks a Serious Ethical Debate: Islamic Perspective on Music & Identity

  Music and musical performances are often promoted as forms of entertainment, drawing large audiences with promises of joy and leisure. People may attend such events for different reasons, but from an Islamic perspective , the issue of music is not merely a matter of entertainment—it is a question of faith, ethics, and cultural identity. Islamic teachings are clear that while poetry, singing , and even some forms of vocal expression are not inherently forbidden, the use of musical instruments —apart from the duff —is explicitly prohibited in many authentic narrations. In Sufi traditions , certain controlled expressions of music were permitted, but always with strict boundaries. Never has Islam endorsed musical gatherings as cultural spectacles or social festivals. Despite this, societies that identify themselves as Islamic continue to host musical events, often under the encouragement of secular or liberal governments. The irony is striking: while Islamic principles discourage...

Judiciary, Politics, and Selective Dissent in India

Image
 AUGUST 17-2025    The Supreme Court of India is expected to act as an impartial guardian of the Constitution , ensuring justice without fear or favour. Yet, in recent years, the Court’s verdicts have highlighted a troubling paradox: in politically neutral matters, public dissent against its judgments is tolerated , while in politically or communally sensitive cases, the same dissent is discouraged or silenced. This selective acceptance was evident in the recent controversy over the Court’s directive to remove stray dogs from the streets of Delhi-NCR , in contrast to the silence expected over politically charged judgments such as the Ayodhya dispute and issues concerning Kashmir human rights violations . The Stray Dog Judgement: A Case of Widespread Public Protest On August 11, 2025 , a Division Bench of Justices J.B. Pardiwala and R. Mahadevan directed municipal authorities to round up all stray dogs in Delhi-NCR within six to eight weeks and confine them permanent...

Amarnath yatra 2025 in Kashmir: A burden for locals

https://rumble.com/v6vr1dz-kashmir-highway-and-road-block-documentary-first-time-shared-with-world..html   The annual Amarnath Yatra , a Hindu pilgrimage to the ice formations in Pahalgam 's caves, is scheduled to commence in July 2025. In preparation, the Government of India (GOI) has implemented stringent multi-layered security measures, including AI surveillance , drone monitoring , and extensive troop deployments along the routes . While historically, Kashmiri communities welcomed and assisted pilgrims , recent policies have fueled tensions. Critics argue that the BJP-led government uses the Yatra to marginalize Kashmiri Muslims . Security protocols require Hindu pilgrim convoys to travel with armed escorts, halting all local traffic during their movement. This disrupts daily life, preventing Kashmiri commuters from reaching workplaces, schools, or hospitals on time . Videos of stranded locals—often shared by pilgrims on social media—portray these restrictions as victori...

The Invisible Cage: When "Security" Steals Time and Hope

Image
In 2025, as the world dreams of flying cars saving commute hours, Kashmiris face a harsher truth: their time isn’t saved—it’s confiscated. Daily life here revolves around navigating a military occupation, where freedom of movement is a luxury.  Why? The Convoy Ritual  Every day (except Fridays), Indian army convoys with hundreds of trucks move on NH44 forcing local to halt so that army may pass on 4 lane road with a barrier between two roads 10 meters. If you’re traveling: Sick?  Your hospital appointment waits. Late for work?  Your job can wait. Emergency?  No exceptions. Pleading gets you nowhere. Soldiers cite "security threats," dismissing pleas with indifference. What should be a 1-hour trip becomes 2+ hours, with city traffic jams adding 30+ minutes more .  The Hidden Agenda: "Taming" Through Trauma This isn’t just inefficiency—it’s psychological warfare: Stolen Time = Stolen Dignity : Forcing people to wait for hours teaches helplessness. It whispers...
