Better To Be Muslims Kashmir Pandits Story

One of my relatives got married to a Kashmiri Girl.

They, too, are Brahmins.

I attended the wedding in Delhi.

They were at great pains to tell me that they were also Brahmins and unfortunately meat eaters.

( Brahmins used to eat meat in ancient times, they were unaware of it)

Though the marriage was conducted late in the evening, the Vedic Rites of Kanyadhaan,Panigrahan and Sapthapadhi were performed.

This is the correct Vedic marriage.

They are all well to do, all of them occupying important positions in the Society

They still have their ancestral home in Kashmir, though all of them are settled in Delhi.

When I started discussing the Kashmiri Pandit's Problems, they broke out in tears , hugged me and said they were moved that some one from deep South is bothered about their problems.

They narrated the problems, utter contempt with which they were treated in Kashmir, where they have no say in anything at all.

Their problems after displacement from Kashmir have only multiplied, with the Government, irrespective of whichever party comes to power.

They find it difficult to voice their grievances to the Government at The State pr at the Center,

Worst is that whomsoever they get to meet, on rare occasions, in the Government, they got a stock reply that Kashmir is a sensitive issue with international ramifications and the Government has to tread carefully.

But the Muslims of Kashmir say that they are persecuted?

By whom?

Brahmins?

Evil Eye On Children Warding Off Removal

When you attempt to feed the child, some food would remain.

Take this and keep it on the road where a Dog can eat.

Do not feed the child in front of others or in Public.

If you have to feed in a Milk Bottle, keep the Milk Bottle covered, ready-made covers are available .

To prevent the child waking up in the middle of the night crying, keep a New Broomstick underneath your cot.

Some times you may find the children crying for no reason, despite being fit.

In these circumstances, take two red chilliness,little Crystal Salt in your right Palm close it, let the child face The East , keep your close Palm in the other , rotate clockwise , anti clock wise, up and down in front of he child's Face and leave the chilies and Salt on the road.

There is also this practice of throwing this mixture in Coal Embers at Home or in the Flames of a kerosene stove instead of throwing the mixture on the road.

Normally this mixture dropped in Fire or Embers should make you choke.
