Floods in India and Pakistan: Predictable tragedy

Sep 9th, 2014 | Category: Articles

THREE factors regularly conspire to bring tragedy to north India and Pakistan, often at this time of year. The Himalayan mountain range is young, steep and unstable: landslides and flash floods are all too common. The summer monsoon reliably delivers an intense abundance of water, swelling rivers, lakes and flooding water-courses incredibly fast. Last, booming populations on both sides of the border are pushing humans to clear trees, settle on steep hillsides, straighten the banks of streams, put up homes immediately beside rivers and in flood plains.

Kashmir – A Land Subjected to State Terrorism

“There were people dying everywhere getting massacred in every town and village, there were people being picked up and thrown into dark jails in unknown parts, there were dungeons in the city where hundreds of young men were kept in heavy chains and from where many never emerged alive, there were thousands who had disappeared leaving behind women with photographs and perennial waiting ,there were multitudes of dead bodies on the roads, in hospital beds, in fresh martyrs’ graveyards and scattered casually on the snow of mindless borders.” An Excerpt from the book “The Collaborator” describing Indian atrocities in the Indian occupied Kashmir, written by Mirza Waheed, a Kashmiri writer.
