Ram Navami, the birthday of Lord Ram was celebrated in the Kashmir Valley. Scores of devotees including a large number of Muslims and Sikhs also participated in the celebrations at the Ram Ji Mandir at Barbarshah.
Hindu Welfare Society (HWS), a body of non-migrant pandit thanked Muslims on the occasion for their cooperation.
HWS said that they celebrated the Ramnavmi as Hindu- Muslim- Sikh unity and held prayer meetings for peace in the world particularly for the state of Jammu Kashmir.
“Today we celebrated the festival with the members of other communities. Our aim was to strengthen the bond of love, respect and communal harmony among the Kashmiris who have suffered a lot in the turmoil,” said HWS.
The Society said that it wishes the religious brotherhood of the Kashmir stands all the odds as the Valley is the abode of Reshis and Sufis who devoted their lives for the mankind. HWS thanked the majority community for supporting the Kashmiri non migrant Pandits over the years.
Demanding minority status, employment for the educated Pandit youth and their rehabilitation, HWS said that the government should address the problems faced by the community on humanitarian grounds.

Dowry killing in India
The daughter of a Delhi Police sub-inspector was allegedly burnt alive by her in-laws in Ghaziabad Thursday for not getting dowry, her family members said. The police are investigating the case.
Babli, 26, daughter of Delhi Police sub-inspector Atar Singh - was married to Dev Raj on June 18, 2004. While Atar Singh's family stayed at Indirapuri colony in Loni, Dev Raj lived at Balramnagar in the same area.
On Thursday morning, the police were informed that Babli was lying dead in her husband's house with extensive burns. Babli's parents were also informed and reached the spot.
Babli's husband and in-laws were missing from the house when the police reached.
Babli's brother Rishi Raj said his sister was constantly harassed by her in-laws for dowry.
He said Babli had been turned out of her husband's house many times in the past to bring money and various articles from her father. She had called her father Wednesday night and told him that her in-laws were conspiring to kill her, he said.
Babli's father filed a complaint at the Loni police station but the police were yet to register a case till Thursday night.
However, senior officials assured the family and media that the police were taking action.
"We are looking out for the girl's husband and his family. They would be taken to task. The matter is under investigation," Anant Dev, the superintendent of police (city), said.

A very disturbing news.Really not able to understand how such cruelity can be committed against a fellow human being.Burning alive...
Dowry is very shameful which is a very rampant ritual in most of the states in India.India can never claim to be a progressive Nation,when we still have such utopian activities going on in our society.Frankly,I never understood the need for a dowry.There is need for aggressive campaigns against this evil.It's better if a law is there banning this,with strict punishment for those who demand dowry.
To kill innocent girls just for a few more bucks..
Those who does this should be awarded the death penality,nothing less..
The specific case mentioned here is shocking as well as amazing.Even the life of a daughter of a police officer is not spared,so what to think of ordinary citizens..

Dr.Manmohan Singh,American Presidents and "India Loves U"
It seems our PM believes that who ever is the American president,people of India dearly love him.He earlier told the then American president George Bush that all of India deeply love him,which created controversy in India.
Now today it's being reported that Manmohan Singh told the current US president Barack Obama that "you are much loved and respected in India".
Ofcourse,Indians I suppose will surely be more fond of Obama than Bush,because of his personality and charisma and the interest he has generated the world over with his dynamic speeches and promises of change in US approach and policies towards the world.
Bush did sign the nuclear deal with India which will allow India to do nuclear business.But Bush presidency will be remembered more for his flawed policies in Iraq and his wrong strategies in Afganistan.It's a fact that the Muslim community the world over absolutely hated him and I don't think the opinion of Indian Muslims were different.
Surely the whole of India never loved him,not after he and his team blatantly lied to the world community about the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq,which was cited as the reason to attack Iraq(The so-called weapons of mass destruction were never found,because there existed no such thing in Iraq).
Now coming back to the topic of Dr.Manmohan Singh praising Obama,it's too early.Obama just started.No one knows for certain what his policies will be.So let's wait.As far as our PM is concerned,it's better if he stops this "India loves you" theme music.The basic question is,was a poll conducted in India? How can Manmohan Singh say India loves so and so,what's the evidence of that love? Sure,in diplomacy sweet words are needed,but to say repeatedly to world leaders that "India loves you",is absurd..
