Begaar still exists in Kashmir. Earlier, it was the Dogras who forced Kashmiris into it. But today, Indian forces force Kashmiris to perform menial labour for them.

I was just roaming around the market with my friends when I saw Indian soldiers forcing Kashmiris, including an elderly Kashmiri man, build a roadside checkpost for them using sandbags. They're building these along KP Road because of the Yatra. Fine. But why force Kashmiris, especially elderly men, to carry those heavy sandbags? It's your job. Do it yourself.

But I guess they know they enjoy total impunity here. The Indian State has given them a free hand to oppress Kashmiris as they please.

The photos aren't very clear because the forces were all around, and I couldn't risk taking a clear shot. Somehow, I managed to capture these two without being noticed.

Indians keep asking why Kashmiris hate India. Then their forces halt local Kashmiri traffic, including ambulances, for hours near Khanabal, just so those cheap Yatris can pass. To escape the blockade, I took the link road via Nandapora, but it was blocked as well. Every road was blocked, infact.

This picture is of the blockade on the link road. I couldn't take a picture of the blockade on the main road, where even ambulances were blocked, because there were too many Indian forces around.

I saw two ambulances that were caught up in the blockade. They were probably coming from Janglatmandi Hospital. How is this fair? Why can't they allow the locals to commute normally? What's the point of blocking local traffic for hours just to clear the way for these Yatris? Can't these Yatris commute with local traffic?

Is this the worth of a Kashmiri life? That even our ambulances are halted for this shit?

Leave all this shit aside. What's also concerning is the fact that these Yatris are here just to pollute our surroundings. I saw three videos this morning where they were breaking the gates of a park in Pahalgam. So, they don't even pay the ticket price. How is this shit going to benefit our economy when the fact is that most, if not all, of these Yatris are just the poorest of the poor folks from the cow belt, whom the Indian state appeases by organising this state-sponsored pilgrimage and gives them this facade of an idea that Kashmir, which is a majority-Muslim region, is under control and that the state has Kashmiri Muslims on a leash?

So, they don't spend shit here, pollute our surroundings, shit in the open, and the Indian state oppresses and disturbs our daily lives for the sake of these people.

I remember, about two years ago, I was in Bangus. There are two public toilets in the meadow, and a little Kashmiri boy had been appointed as the maintainer of those toilets. An Indian tourist bus arrived there. They used those toilets, and after they left, that little boy was screaming and cussing them out. My friends and I went up to him, along with others who were there, and what we saw was disgusting, to say the least. Those Indians had shat on the toilet floor. Even though there were standing commodes in each toilet, they hadn't used them and had shat straight on the floor. The whole floor was filled with shit. Writing and remembering this shit still disgusts me. But yeah, civic sense is the last thing we can expect from them.

Best places to visit in August?

Going back to Kashmir in about 2 weeks, my Nanihal is in Srinagar so I would prefer to visit a hidden scenic place in like a 2-3 hour drive with less foreign tourists

Köshur number system is kinda weird (for academics).

Well, it's fine for day-to-day conversations. But, I recently tried using Köshur numerals while learning math. It's quite unintuitive when you look at what's written and what's being spoken. For example:

Numeral English Köshur
6 six shĕ
7 seven sath
67 sixty-seven satühöṭh

I personally find English and Persian number systems more intuitive for modern math, as you don't have to mentally flip the numbers while reading them. Although the Sanskrit and Köshur numbers have had their advantages, I'd say those were mainly related to the way math was done in Sanskritic traditions (origin of the decimal place-value, consistent 10s, etc.). Currently, they don't seem to help much. English and Persian numbers seem quite straightforward w.r.t. writing and speech.

If we could do something similar for our numbers, they might be easier to learn and use in mathematical contexts because the spoken order would match the written notation.

Numeral English Sanskrit Persian Köshur (+ hypothetically?)
0 zero śūnya sefr siphar
1 one éka yek akh, kun
2 two dvi do
3 three trí se trĕ
10 ten daśa dah dah
11 eleven éka-daśa yāz-dah kah / (kuni-dah?)
15 fifteen panca-dasa pānz-dah pandah / (pāntsan-dah?)
19 nineteen náva-dasa, ékonaviṁśati nūz-dah kunü-wuh / (navan-dah?)
20 twenty vimśati bist wuh
21 twenty-one éka-viṃśatiḥ bist-o-yek aküwuh / (wuhan-kun?)
67 sixty-seven saptashashtiḥ shast-o-haft satühöṭh / (shēṭhan-sath?)

Anyone know good spine doctors/hospitals in Kashmir?

Assalamualaikum everyone, could use some help. A family member (21F) has been dealing with ongoing lower back pain and we're trying to find a good specialist to consult here in the valley. MRI also attached

Does anyone have recommendations for a reliable orthopedic or spine doctor/hospital in Kashmir? Looking for someone experienced with back issues specifically. Any suggestions based on your own experience would be really appreciated.
