Jammu,the Winter capital city of J&K , is also known as the city of temples. But if we ask anyone outside the J&K, he/she doesnt know that.

Why is it so?

  • No one knows that Jammu is culturally, linguistically, climatically totally different from Kashmir.
  • No one knows that the maximum population in Jammu is of Dogras, although they (outside J&K residents) don?t know Who are DOGRAS??What is this DOGRA community all about??They think  its Kashmir only

Who is responsible for such Identity Crisis?

I, as a part of our Dogra community, feel such identity crisis when i move out of Jammu Region. Not only me, but 90% of the JAMMUITES (Dogras, Bhaderwahis, Kishtwaris, Poonchis) who have moved out of Jammu, for job or studies,feel such Identity crisis. Why is it so and Who is responsible for such identity crisis?You Dont know me???

I feel,We the Jammuites, are the main culprits for such identity Crisis. We, the Jammuites, have never ever given any respect to our motherland, culture, language but we always blame politicians for that. But are those politicians really responsible for our identity crisis outside J&K? My answer will be NO. But the people specially living in the so called MODERN cities don’t have any respect for their culture and theirr language, A city or state is known for the quality of the residents residing there. That’s why someone has rightly said that “People are the wealth of Nation”.

Real Wealth: A person’s intelligence connecting with innovation, creativity and social consciousness, neighbours helping neighbours and corporations and networks helping people. But Are we, the Jammuites, helping corporations in that, instead of cursing them?

1. Have we ever protested against the name of KAS(KASHMIR ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES),if our state’s name is JAMMU and Kashmir then why can’t the name be JKAS?

2. Had we ever protested against the different maps published where the state’s capital is always published as SRINAGAR?If we have two capitals,then why is there no mention of the two capitals?

3. Have we ever protested against that In our schools, we don’t have a single chapter on J&K’s History? Is it because the Dogras ruled the state most of the time?

4. Have we ever protested against the media who also loves to give more attention to Kashmir?

5. If some good incident happens in Kashmir then the media publishes it as to be the happening in KASHMIR only. But if some bad thing happens, then the same biased media publishes it as to be the happening in JAMMU & KASHMIR.And whatever happens in Jammu, it hardly comes in national media except those terrorist attacks. ( e.g., The Sex scandal which happened in Kashmir valley,the media named it as the J&K Sex Scandal, but when Anara Gupta’s incident took place, the same media named it as Jammu Scandal?)Why is it so???


Why do we The Jammuites, never protested against that?

I know these protests  are not going to help us, “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”but with a little bit of protest against all these discriminations can bring us in the limelight and will help us to wake up all those JAMMUITES, who are the victims of such situations.I think its the time pay tribute to all those great Dogras who spent their whole life working for JAMMU.

As Abraham Lincoln says “To sin by silence when they should protest makes cowards of men.”Are we cowards,I know we are “not” but this materialistic world makes us ..Isnt it?

Is money more important than self-Respect?

By protest,I mean to say Raise your voice with some passion,enthusiasm and fervour. By burning effigies  and abusing Govt. is of no use.

I will be very greatful to that person who will reply me all these questions?
