Tag Sheikh Abdullah

Now there is a lot of talk of Article 370 of The Indian Constitution, applicable to Jammu and Kashmir.

This has become loud after Narendra Modi declared that he will rethink on the Article 370 for Kashmir if he becomes the PM.

I remember having asked my Father, (who is no more) as to why this provision was applied to Jammu and Kashmir and why Sheikh Abdullah was not imprisoned in a tough Jail instead of a resort for his anti India utterances.

He replied that Sheikh Abdullah was Nehru's half-brother!

I recalled this when I read a news item that the Congress has decided(meaning Sonia Gandhi has decided) to move a fresh Bill to legalize Gays.

The paper declared that this was in keeping with the progressive outlook of the Nehru clan.

Without going into the merits of granting Gays Rights( my readers know what my views are on this), I wanted to check on the Nehru family's myth of Brahmins from Kashmir and that despite being orthodox Brahmins the Nehru's have been progressive( does not mean that Brahmins are not progressive)

This is what I came up with.
