Emotional Farewell: Rifleman Ravi Cremated with Full Military Honors in Kishtwar"

A soldier's family in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar was preparing for his marriage in December but fate had something else in store as the braveheart laid down his life fighting terrorists in Rajouri district.

A soldier's family in Jammu and Kashmir's Kishtwar was preparing for his marriage in December but fate had something else in store as the braveheart laid down his life fighting terrorists in Rajouri district.

The mortal remains of Rifleman Ravi Kumar Rana, the son of the soil, was brought in a decorated military vehicle from the border district of Rajouri to his home town Kishtwar, where thousands of mourners gathered to bid him a tearful adieu on Thursday.

Rifleman Rana of 63 Rashtriya Rifles made the supreme sacrifice in the service of the nation during an encounter in remote Narla village of Rajouri district on Tuesday. Two suspected Pakistani terrorists were also killed in the gunbattle which continued till Wednesday, also claiming the life of Kent, a six-year-old female Labrador of the Army's dog unit.

Emotional scenes were witnessed at the house of Rana at hilly hamlet Wasnoti-Galigarh, 15 kms from Kishtwar town, where his fiance joined the mourners and burst into tears.

"I have not imagined such a fate which has shattered my life… Had I known about such a happening, I would have met him for once and talked to him but could not do so as a respect for my family," she said amid wails from the family and friends.

The body of Rana was supposed to reach his home town after a wreath laying ceremony at a military garrison in Rajouri on Wednesday but bad weather did not allow helicopter operation and later his tricolour wrapped coffin was dispatched by road.

The body of the fallen hero reached his house by midnight and later it was taken in a procession to a nearby cremation ground Thursday morning amid high pitch sloganeering in praise of his sacrifice, nation and the Army. Anti-terrorism slogans also rented the air.

The cremation took place with full military honors, including a wreath laying ceremony and a gun salute. Kishtwar Deputy Commissioner Devansh Yadav, Senior Superintendent of Police Khalil Poswal and several politicians also turned up to pay their respects to the deceased soldier.

"The preparations for his (Rana's) marriage were in full swing when we heard the unfortunate news of his death, leaving all of us disheartened," Rajinder Singh Sen, a relative of the slain soldier, told PTI. He said Rana turned 26 this year and his marriage was scheduled for December 2.

"His father Subash Chander Rana is a farmer, having a total of four sons. His elder brother is also in the Army presently posted in Punjab. Rana had joined the Army about eight years ago and was a brave man," Sen said.

He said the popularity of the soldier can be judged by the participation of people in his funeral procession. "You can see all the eyes are moist over the loss of the braveheart." Paying rich tributes to the slain soldier, retired soldier Shiv Kumar said it is very unfortunate that terrorists have once again started their activities, which were evident with the killing of three Army and police officers in another encounter in south Kashmir's Kokernag. "Stern action is needed to be taken against terrorists to end this menace," he said.

Rajouri Attack: Rajnath Singh will visit Rajouri! J&K BJP leaders meet Defense Minister in Delhi.

🚨: Terrorist attack on Hindu pilgrims in Reasi district, Jammu and Kashmir, India.

In a tragic event, a group of pilgrims met with a devastating accident when their bus careened off the road and plunged into a gorge near Teryath village in the Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir. Reports indicate that at least ten individuals lost their lives, while over 30 sustained injuries in the incident, which occurred on Sunday. The bus, returning from the Shiv Khori cave shrine to Katra, a town renowned for the Vaishno Devi temple, was traveling along a link road of NH144A, navigating through dense forests and hilly terrain. Prompt response from locals and authorities led to rescue efforts, while security forces, comprising personnel from the police, Army, and CRPF, initiated a search operation to apprehend the assailants. The area, located 100 kilometers northwest of Jammu, has been cordoned off in response to the premeditated attack. Reasi SSP Mohita Sharma disclosed that the terrorists had orchestrated the assault, targeting the bus as it passed through the area. The driver was struck by gunfire, causing the vehicle to veer off course. Evidence, including bullet casings, was recovered from the scene, indicating the involvement of two masked assailants. Although the identities of the deceased and injured have yet to be officially confirmed, it is suspected that the pilgrims hailed from Uttar Pradesh. This incident underscores the potential spread of terrorist activities into previously unaffected regions, as Reasi district had hitherto remained insulated from the surge in attacks witnessed in neighboring districts such as Rajouri and Poonch. The Pir Panjal route, notorious for its rugged terrain, serves as a favored infiltration route for terrorists moving from the Line of Control (LoC) in Poonch and Rajouri towards Kashmir. Intelligence sources suspect the participation of Illiyas Fauji, a former Pakistani army SSG commando turned LeT operative, along with two other militants from Pakistan who have evaded capture since the deadly assault on an IAF convoy in Poonch on May 4. This recent attack in Reasi follows a similar incident on May 13, 2022, when terrorists targeted a bus transporting pilgrims from Katra to Jammu using "sticky bombs," resulting in four fatalities and 13 injuries. The assault evokes memories of the July 10, 2017, attack on a bus ferrying Amarnath pilgrims, which claimed seven lives and left 19 others wounded. Despite facing heavy gunfire, the driver in that instance managed to safeguard 52 passengers. According to data from the Union home ministry, eight civilians have been killed in Jammu and Kashmir in the first five months of the current year up to May 31. Concerns regarding security have been heightened in anticipation of the upcoming Amarnath Yatra, prompting Jammu ADGP Anand Jain to oversee security arrangements on Friday night. The review encompassed preparations not only for the annual Amarnath Yatra but also for the Mata Kheerbhawani mela, Budha Amarnath Yatra, and Shri Machail Yatra, emphasizing the establishment of joint control rooms to enhance coordination among all concerned agencies. The Amarnath cave shrine, nestled at an altitude of 3,880 meters in the South Kashmir Himalayas, is slated to host its annual pilgrimage from June 29 to August 19.

Jammu and Kashmir Terror Attack Claims Lives of 6 Workers and a Doctor

In a shocking act of violence, six construction workers and a doctor were brutally murdered in a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on Saturday evening, prompting widespread condemnation and outrage across the nation. The attack occurred in the Rajouri district, a region that has faced escalating violence in recent months due to increased militant activities.

Authorities reported that the attack took place while the construction workers were finishing their day at a work site in a remote area. Eyewitness accounts describe a harrowing scene, with militants reportedly opening fire on the group without warning. The victims, hailing from various parts of India, were working in the region in hopes of earning a better livelihood.

"This cowardly act of terrorism is a stark reminder of the challenges we face in the region," said Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, who condemned the attack as "dastardly." He assured the public that security forces are working tirelessly to bring the perpetrators to justice. Local law enforcement agencies have launched a manhunt to apprehend those responsible for this heinous act.

The doctor, who was known for his dedication to providing healthcare in the region, was reportedly on his way to assist the injured when he fell victim to the violence. Colleagues and patients have expressed their grief over the loss, describing him as a compassionate and committed professional who always put his patients first.

This attack has sparked fear and anger among residents in Jammu and Kashmir, who have long suffered from the impacts of violence and militancy. Community leaders have called for unity and resilience in the face of such brutality. "We will not allow these acts of terror to divide us," said local leader Asif Malik. "We must come together and stand against the forces that seek to instill fear in our hearts."

The incident has drawn condemnation from various political leaders across party lines. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the families of the victims, stating, "The sacrifices of those who lost their lives will not be in vain. We will continue our fight against terrorism with renewed vigor."

As investigations continue and security measures are heightened in the region, the tragedy serves as a sobering reminder of the ongoing conflict in Jammu and Kashmir. The loss of innocent lives has reignited discussions about the urgent need for lasting peace and stability in the area.

Week 1: Praxis - Creative Practice vs Critical Thinking

This week, we discussed the significance of connecting creative practice to critical thinking. As designers in training, we need to take note of how the content we consume can make inquisitive statements whilst maintaining creativity behind it. We were required to write a short story based on a social issue. I chose to write about religious hate crimes.

This week, we discussed the significance of connecting creative practice to critical thinking. As designers in training, we need to take note of how the content we consume can make inquisitive statements whilst maintaining creativity behind it. We were required to write a short story based on a social issue. I chose to write about religious hate crimes. 

My story follows a riot occurring in the 1990s in Rajouri, Jammu, and Kashmir (India), that was driven because of religious and political differences created during the Partition of British India in 1947. We still face repercussions of the political choices made then and this has caused lots of violence in India. 

I believe any form of storytelling are effective ways to make bold statements. Specifically to me, creative writing is a form of expression that I use to communicate my feelings frequently. I wanted my story to be a mix of fiction and reality. The purpose of this was to give the problem at hand emotion - making the reader understand the situation more empathatically.  

Moreover, I dived deeper into a performance artist and feminist, Khubra Khademi. She is well-known for provocative works that address gender inequality, women’s rights, and societal issues in Afghanistan. She uses her art to challenge the patriarchy of the Taliban regime. In 2015, Khademi performed “Armour” where she walked through Kabul in a suit of metal armour that accentuated her curves, drawing attention to her chest and back. Her performance spoke for the harassment women experience in public spaces. During this walk, Khademi quickly became a victim of harassment and verbal abuse. She received death threats that forced her to flee Afghanistan. 

Khademi’s work now still follows the same themes and is expressed through her creativity. This ties in with our theme of Creative practice with critical thinking - using artistic expression for a cause.

BJP's New Strategy: Pir Panjal Union Territory Proposal Aims to Reclaim Political Ground

In a significant political move, Chowdhary Zulfikar Ali, a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Jammu and Kashmir, has called for the creation of a new Union Territory (UT) for the Pir Panjal region, encompassing the border districts of Rajouri and Poonch.  

This demand comes in the wake of the BJP's disappointing performance in the recent assembly elections, where all eight of its candidates from these districts faced defeat, despite the party’s efforts to secure Scheduled Tribe (ST) status for the Pahari community​. 

Zulfikar Ali, who previously contested from the Budhal constituency, emphasized that the establishment of a separate UT would be beneficial for the people of Pir Panjal. He argued that this region, with its unique geographical and socio-political context, deserves a distinct administrative setup to address its specific needs and challenges.  

The call for a new UT reflects the BJP's strategy to regain ground lost in the recent elections and strengthen its foothold in a politically complex area traditionally dominated by the Congress and National Conference​. 

The Pir Panjal region has been at the center of electoral battles, characterized by a complex rivalry between the Gujjar and Pahari communities. Following the Modi government’s decision to grant ST status to the Pahari population, the BJP aims to capitalize on this demographic shift to galvanize support among Paharis while simultaneously addressing the grievances of the Gujjar community, which has been politically vocal​. 

Political analysts suggest that Ali's proposal for a separate UT is an attempt to redefine the political landscape in Pir Panjal, especially as the BJP seeks to navigate the fractured voter base between the Gujjars and Paharis. The region’s strategic importance, given its proximity to the Line of Control with Pakistan, further complicates the political dynamics, as local leaders leverage nationalist sentiments to rally support​. 

As the political landscape continues to evolve in Jammu and Kashmir, the BJP's push for a separate UT for Pir Panjal will likely be a focal point in upcoming electoral strategies, aiming to reshape alliances and secure a stronger presence in this critical region​.
