The Amarnath land politics

Just search Google with the title of this post and you would find thousands of pictures that are even more hurting than the one you see here. If you are wondering as to what this problem is all about, then before i explain what this is, I should say that this is another face of politics in India.

This entire dispute is about alloting a specific piece of land to a pilgrimage in Jammu, called the Amarnath. The entire row is about this 100 acres of forest land that nobody had claim to. What is worthy of thought is the fact that are we really so much interested in what this land is and why it has been allotted to the pilgrimage? In such a busy life that I lead, where I find it difficult to even bother about my own problems, I would not have time to run after a land allotment, that too to a pilgrimage.

Then how did all this start. This started when a few politicians with vested interests, blowed up the issue to this extent, unnecessarily. Leaders from the valley like Mehbooba Mufti, who have been in politics with a view of deriving personal interests from it were the ones at the forefront of this unnecessary row. What is sad is the fact that these people forget that such small issues, if unnecessarily blown out of proportion could lead to an even bigger problem which would then get out of control of everyone.

Why would they bother? They have never bothered and will never bother because they are not concerned about the country but were always interested in their own personal growth.
