Living in Fool’s Paradise: Hollow Dreams and illusionary Azaadi

“With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism”. This very powerful quote was stated by the youngest recipient of Noble Peace Prize: Malala Yousufzai. She’s always up there advocating for education of Girls and Peace, but as the word comes to Kashmir, that’s where the buck stops, she often tends to recall that she’s a Pakistani first and while being so, it her moral duty and responsibility to speak up against Indian Government’s atrocities that they impose upon Poor Kashmiri people, often neglecting the fact that it was her country and her own people who attacked and forced her to run and seek asylum elsewhere, ignoring that not all victims of terrorism are as lucky as she is. She’s never been to Kashmir, she never even dared to set foot in her own country for next six years and rather choose to become a self-proclaimed guardian angel for all those Kashmiri People who have been exploited by the Indian Authorities for decades as per her and rest of the Pakista...

The WW2 war was done and dusted with the surrender of Japan in 1945, but the race for dominance was far from over. Two unlikely allies were staring down at each other with aggression and uncompromising passion to rule the arena and this lead to the emergence of two super powers: The USA and the Soviet Union commonly known as U.S.S.R. “The democrats and the communists can never be on the same page” as its always said.

History has many secret hidden that are lost somewhere in the sands of time. Historians have always been accused of being biased and ruthless, and often driven by agenda which is backed by a state or an institution. Hence they don’t mind skimming the history as per their convenience or in order to please someone and while doing so, they often end up tampering the facts and henceforth history itself. While many things are hidden which are proving to become difficult to unearth with the passage of time. One such incident that has suffered the same fate is “The Potsdam Declaration”. It was the official instrument of surrender which ended the biggest war known in the history. What we know so far is that the Americans nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki which forced the Japanese to surrender, but there’s always two sides of a story. With Japanese taking out Pearl Harbor on December 7 th , 1941 forced the US to officially declare war, what followed soon for the next three and half years was nothi...
