Click to play videoNew Delhi: Unrest surrounds not just on ground in Jammu and Kashmir but also in cyber space. It's Jammu versus Kashmir in the blogosphere as bloggers now are posting their reactions on the current crisis on the net.
Thirty six-year-old Pawan Durrani is Kashmiri Hindu living in Delhi. He is an IT professional and an active blogger.
And ever since the Jammu and Kashmir divide came to the fore after the Amarnath land row, he has been posting his opinions online more actively.
"It's the one way I am contributing to them, we are all probably holding each others hands," he says.
On July 28 Pawan's blog — thekashmir.wordpress.com — was the fifth fastest growing blog in the world.
"Amarnath has vented the feeling, the resentment that the people of Jammu have had for so long. People are venting out the discrimination that has been going on for the last 60 years," he adds
It's no more a war on the streets of Jammu and Kashmir as it has entered the cyber world. The language in the blogs is crude and hatred is poured in through words and images.
Several bloggers are calling the Jammu crisis 'the Hindu Intifada'.
Kashmiri muslim bloggers have been active as well in posting their reactions and say they are fighting it out with their fellow Kashmiris by blogging.
A Delhi-based Kashmiri blogger who chose not to be named e-mailed his blog to IBNLive.com. He is a member of a moderated forum of bloggers called Kashmir Global Network on Yahoo which began in 1996.
The blogger writes:
Amarnath is being viewed as just another attempt by the Indian government to further their agenda of manipulating the status of Kashmir and oppressing Kashmiris. Sheikh Abdullah is being cursed aloud for having trusted Nehru and India
In this virtual war there is anger, frustration but all is not completely negative in the blogosphere, as there are those who are talking Kashmiriat.
