** Amarnath Land row **

Amarnath Land row, as like all other issues in India, has taken political colours - leaving it with NO possibility of a solution. J&K Govt allotted a few acres of forest land in the Amarnath pathway (Amarnath is a holy Hindu shrine situated in the Himalayas) to the 'Amarnath Shrine Board'. Plan was to develop some structures to facilitate easy movement and better security cover for the thousands of pilgrims who visit Amarnath every year. What looks as an innocuous deal has erupted into a volcano. Kashmiri Muslims do not want permanent structures in Kashmir for the 'Hindu' cause !! The J&K Cong government has become a minority as the coalition parner PDP withdrew support. Lot of lives have already been lost. The battle still rages on. Due to the pressure from Muslims and from the politicians supporting muslims, the transfer of land to Amarnath Shrine Board has been revoked. My doubt is, will the present Govt, both at the Centre and at the State, take the same stand had only the Amarnath been a Muslim shrine and the agitators were Hindus ??? The answer to this simple question will make you understand all about Indian politics. Jai Hind.
