The Lok Sabha results in Baramulla and Ladakh reflect a churning among voters
A unique campaign unfolded in the run-up to the Lok Sabha elections in Baramulla, where independent candidate Abdul Rashid Sheikh aka Engineer Rashid eventually trounced National Conference’s Omar Abdullah and Peoples Conference president Sajad Lone. Rashid, leader of the Awami Ittehad Party, ran his election bid from Tihar Jail. In his absence, his sons Abrar and Asrar campaigned for him.
The brothers, both in their 20s, led crowds with impassioned slogans. Each rally began with Abrar’s call: “Tihar ka badla (the revenge for Tihar is),” to which the crowd responded, “Vote se (by vote).” Abrar would continue the slogan with “Zulm (injustice) ka badla” and “Jail ka badla”, each of which would be met with the roaring response of “vote se”.

To the rose garden of martyrs
Even during my time in Tehran nearly three decades ago, a jagged chasm had opened up between the people and the regime. The revolutionary fervour had paled; resentment with an oppressive cleric regime, clothed in religious righteousness, muscled by a ruthless security system and supported by shadowy financial structures was evident. The invasion of private space, the curtailment of personal freedoms, economic hardship and growing estrangement from the world deeply troubled the people, heirs to a rich and highly sophisticated civilisation.
