Seminar on Interfaith Dialogue by the Inter Faith Harmony Foundation of India (IFHFI): A Much-needed Initiative

On 27th: A Significant Effort Towards Communal Harmony Urdu, Kashmiriyat, and Shared Cultural Traditions at SKICC When people like Dr. Karan Singh, Shri Manoj Sinha, Prof. Nilofer Khan, Dr. Jyotsna Singh, and Dr. Khawaja Iftikhar Ahmed grace the seminar on interfaith dialogue at SKICC, it speaks volumes about the level and efforts towards communal harmony, brotherhood, religious diversity, and fraternity among all religions of the nation. The basic aim of the seminar is to build an idea to spread the message of brotherhood among the religious leaders of different faiths at the grassroots level. Interfaith dialogue is the way to create strong relationships among all faiths in a nation towards progress. It leads us to religious respect, dignity, and brotherhood. The message of interfaith dialogue is to convey to all people that we believe in humanity, religious freedom, and religious diversity. There must be no religious polarization or religious discrimination, as these lead to hate, destruction, and ultimately division in the country. Every religion teaches one basic principle: to respect other religions. These principles make every citizen responsible for their nation beyond religious differences. The seminar on interfaith dialogue is the first of its kind in Kashmir. It is a message, idea, and warning to those who misuse religion and create conflict on a religious basis in the state and the country. It makes clear that besides every religion, there is a constitution, which is a noble document specifying every clause of life in a state. That constitution actually safeguards our rights and clearly states that there is freedom of religion. The seminar is hosting by, The Inter Faith Harmony Foundation of India (IFHFI), established in 2005, aims to promote peace and coexistence through interfaith dialogue. Indias rich history of diverse cultures and faiths living together inspires the Foundation's mission to strengthen harmony among communities. In a world marked by extremism, mistrust, and religious conflicts often justified in the name of faith, the Foundation fosters respectful engagement and mutual understanding. IFHFI brings together religious leaders, scholars, and civil society members to encourage dialogue, respect for diversity, and shared ethical values that emphasize compassion, justice, and human dignity. It challenges negative stereotypes, particularly about Islam, highlighting its true teachings of peace and brotherhood. The Foundation advocates that sustainable peace requires addressing root causes of violence and fostering a sense of belonging for all. It promotes social ethos based on moderation, empathy, and shared responsibility, condemning violence in all forms. By creating platforms for constructive conversation and initiatives like Harmony Compounds and Peace and Harmony Awards, IFHFI seeks to build bridges between communities. Its core belief is that dialogue, harmony, and love must replace conflict, division, and hatred for a just and united society. The Inter Faith Harmony Foundation of India (IFHFI), established in 2005 in New Delhi, is a national organization dedicated to promoting interfaith dialogue, mutual respect, and social harmony among Indias diverse religious communities. It emerged as a constructive response to challenges like radicalization and misunderstandings about Islam and Muslims. Over nearly two decades, IFHFI has created platforms for religious leaders, scholars, and civil society members to engage in open dialogue through seminars, conferences, and public lectures. Notably, it hosted the First National Interfaith Harmony Conclave in 2005 and the South Asia Interfaith Harmony Conclave in 2007, which included delegates from SAARC countries. The Foundation believes that many conflicts attributed to religion stem from ignorance and fear, not genuine theological differences. It emphasizes shared ethical values like compassion, justice, and service to humanity, which transcend religious boundaries. Dialogue, for IFHFI, is about active listening, humility, and mutual learning, fostering trust and empathy between communities. IFHFI envisions a society where religious diversity strengthens social fabric rather than divides it. By encouraging cooperation and ethical engagement, the Foundation aims to build a more peaceful, just, and compassionate world where faith differences inspire respect and collective progress. Different paths, one humanity bound together in dignity, respect, and peace IFHFIs philosophy centres on the belief that peace within societies and nations is tied to harmony among religious traditions. It recognizes that many conflicts attributed to religion arise from ignorance, fear, and miscommunication rather than genuine theological differences. The Foundation promotes shared ethical values such as compassion, justice, humility, and service to humanity, which transcend religious boundaries and encourage social harmony. Dialogue, for IFHFI, is not a superficial exchange but an active, respectful process of listening and learning aimed at building trust and empathy. It encourages sincere engagement where differences become opportunities for mutual growth rather than division. Through its work, the Foundation aims to transform misunderstanding into knowledge and hostility into friendship, fostering cooperation across faiths. IFHFI has initiated landmark events like the National Interfaith Harmony Conclave (2005) and the South Asia Interfaith Harmony Conclave (2007), which brought together religious leaders and delegates from across South Asia to promote understanding and cooperation. Its ongoing programs include youth education, community dialogues, and peace-building initiatives designed to address social challenges and promote collective responsibility. Relevance to the Seminar in Kashmir The seminar on interfaith dialogue in Kashmir holds profound significance within the regions unique social and political context. Kashmir, with its diverse religious traditions and history of conflict, presents both challenges and opportunities for fostering communal harmony. The IFHFIs principles of dialogue, mutual respect, and cooperation are crucial in promoting peace and understanding among Kashmirs varied communities. Kashmir has witnessed periods of mistrust and polarisation that threaten social cohesion. The seminar, inspired by IFHFIs mission, aims to create a platform where religious leaders, scholars, and community members can come together to build bridges, counter misinformation, and promote the shared values of brotherhood and respect. This effort aligns with the Foundations vision of replacing fear and suspicion with dialogue and empathy. The participation of all stakeholdersreligious leaders, government representatives, educators, youth, and civil societyis essential to the seminars success. Their collective engagement ensures that the message of interfaith harmony reaches grassroots levels, fostering a culture of peace that transcends religious differences. By embracing IFHFIs approach, Kashmir can move toward a future where its rich cultural and religious diversity is celebrated as a strength rather than a source of division. This will bridge the gap and ensure safety and security in the nation.United we stand, divided we fallis the message. (The Author is a Columnist and can be reached at: Fidafirdous8@gmail.com )

The Whispering Chinar: Conversations with Ksheer Bhawani

My veins run deep beneath the sacred earth where the spring of Ksheer Bhawani breathesa spring not of water alone, but of memory, of silence that sings, of longing that never dies I have seen centuries bend like reeds in the wind. I have stood tall through suns that blistered the earth, through snows that fell like the quiet sorrow of unspoken partings. My limbs have embraced the changing winds of time. I am the chinar of Tulmulla. My veins run deep beneath the sacred earth where the spring of Ksheer Bhawani breathesa spring not of water alone, but of memory, of silence that sings, of longing that never dies. Here, under this sky that never forgets, the goddess lives in the hush between thoughts. She is not in stone, not confined by sculpted sanctum, not trapped in the folds of a ritual alone. She is a pulse in the very ether, a fragrance upon the breeze that cannot be named. And yet, those who have once stood herebarefoot upon these ancient flagstonescarry her in the hollows of their bones. They may not speak her name aloud, but in their dreams, her anklets echo still. I, the chinar, remember each one of them. Their shadows once danced beneath my branches. Mothers with silver platters of rice and milk, fathers with incense and trembling resolve, children casting petals upon the surface of the spring, watching them circle, as if the goddess herself breathed through the ripples. I remember the girl who plucked wild jasmine and tied them in her braid, whispering a secret into the wind. I remember the widow who lit a thousand lamps in the hope of reunion beyond the veil of death. And I remember the exile who stood afar, tears biting into his cheeks like winter, not daring to cross the threshold, only bowing from a distance, fearing he was no longer worthy. Now they are gone. Some scattered to lands with no chinars, where rivers run dry with forgetfulness. Some buried their language in borrowed alphabets. Some lit lamps in balconies that faced no sanctum but the grey walls of apartments. And some have returnednot with fanfare, but quietly, as one returns to a lost home in a dreamonly to touch the soil, to drink from the spring, to say, Ma, do you still know me? The spring flows still, eternal and unsullied, though its banks grow lonely. It shimmers pale in moonlight and glows milk-white at dawn, as if stirred by invisible fingers. No matter how many seasons pass, it does not forget. It is not water alone; it is remembrance, ancient and alive. Tonight, a slow wind creeps through the valley, like a ghost seeking its name. The moon floats over the temple, its light turning the white marble to translucent blue. The deodars sway as if in prayer, and Irooted in centuriescall out, not with a voice, but with a trembling of bark and breath and belief. Are you still here, Mother? The spring answers first, with a ripple. A slow spiral of colour. Sometimes it turns crimson, as if touched by old wounds. Sometimes it glows green, as if longing to become earth again. Then, from its heart, something stirsnot sound, not light, but presence. She arrives not with thunder, but as a hush. A hush that bends trees, that stirs the soul into stillness. Yes, she is here. I have always been, she says, and her voice is neither outside nor withinit is a fragrance, a vibration, a warmth in the belly of the night. I shudder, and the rustle of my leaves becomes chant. Why, then, does the silence grow deeper? I ask her. Where are your children? Where are the songs they once sang at dawn? Where are the lamps, the laughter, the chants that once rose like incense into your sky? A soft sigh passes over the courtyard, like the breath of a sleeping temple. They were broken, she says. Like clay pots dropped mid-ritual. Their roots pulled from the soil, their tongues scorched by strange lands. But they carry me stillin fragments, in the ache between syllables, in the prayers they dare not speak. Even now, the stones beneath the temple steps hum with names lost to the pages of exile. Shanta, whose sari brushed the springs edge each Jyeshtha Ashtami. Ramesh, who carved a flute from deodar wood and played raga Bhairavi at dawn. Zoon, who swept the courtyard every Thursday for forty years. They are no longer here, but the earth remembers. And memory, like water, seeps deeper with time. I lean forward, as if the weight of remembering bends even the oldest tree. Do they still belong? I whisper. After all this forgetting, do they still have a place in your grace? She does not speak for a moment. The spring stills. A sudden hush falls over even the wind. And then, like the fragrance of a flower opening at midnight, her answer flows through everything. Belonging is not broken by distance. It is broken only by disbelief. Even the silence of a heart that still trembles for me is enough. I am not bound to temples or rites. I am the ache of return. I am the salt in the tear that falls without reason when they hear my name. A fox calls from the nearby grove. The moon slips behind a cloud, as if moved to mourning. They say now that gods are symbols. That faith is nostalgia. That sanctity is a tool of power. But those who have walked barefoot on the dew-kissed courtyard of this temple, those who have lowered their eyes before the spring and seen their own face tremble in its reflectionthey know that she is more than belief. She is a river beneath the skin. She is a memory that remembers you. Once, I say, this place breathed with the footsteps of a thousand pilgrims. Now the wind comes alone. And she replies, The wind carries them. Every whisper of their longing reaches me. Even when they do not name me, even when they no longer remember the mantras, the soul knows the path. The wind rustles fiercely now, as if her words ignite its wings. It travels far, beyond the mountains of Pir Panjal, across the highways of Delhi, beyond seas and continents to lands where Tulmulla is a word uttered like a lost hymn. It finds the man lighting incense in a Boston apartment. The woman in Pune humming a childhood bhajan before sleep. The girl in Bangalore painting the spring from a faded photograph. The wind returns, heavy with dreams. I sway under its touch, and for a moment, I feel young again. The courtyard seems to pulse with unseen presence. The temple bell, rusted with disuse, gives off a faint chimeas if moved by an invisible hand. The goddess speaks again. I am not alone. The deodars stand beside me. The pigeons nest in the rafters of my shrine. The chinar guards my breath. Even the cracks in the walls carry echoes of my name. And I, humbled, say, They need you now more than ever. Her presence deepens. A hush descends that is not silence but fullness. They will return, she says. Not all at once. Not with banners or noise. But quietly, like prayers returning to lips. Like exiles walking backwards into memory. And then, as if to seal her promise, a lotus rises unbidden from the springluminous and trembling. No hand placed it. No season demanded it. It is the blossom of longing itself. The dawn begins to bleed into the sky. The first bird calls. A shadow enters the courtyarda man, middle-aged, his beard flecked with silver. He carries a steel container of milk. He bows, not with ceremony, but with the weariness of one returning home. He pours the milk into the spring and murmurs something only he and the goddess understand. The spring accepts. A marigold drifts from nowhere. The wind, the stones, the deodarall stand still in reverence. I, the chinar, close my eyes for a moment and remember every footfall that ever echoed through this sacred place. And then, I whisper her name into the world. Ksheer Bhawani. Let it reach the ears that need to remember. Let it slip into dreams as a fragrance, as a note of music, as a tear that finally knows its source. Let the scattered find their way not through maps but through memory. Let the spring never stop flowing. Let the goddess never be alone. Let this valley learn to love again. And let me, old and waiting, stand forever beneath her gazewhispering, listening, remembering.

NCs Proposed Delhi Sit-In Political Drama: Bukhari

Says meaningful dialogue key to addressing public concerns Srinagar, June 21: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Sunday termed the National Conferences proposed sit-in protest in Delhi as a political drama and said such moves were aimed at misleading the people rather than addressing their genuine concerns. Addressing a public convention at SDA Colony, Lachmanpora in Batamaloo, Bukhari said traditional political parties in Jammu and Kashmir had failed to sincerely address public issues over the years. He said the Government of India should initiate meaningful engagement with the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially the youth, to bridge the trust deficit and address public concerns. Only sincere and constructive dialogue can help resolve issues and strengthen public confidence, he said. During the convention, National Conference Joint Secretary Gulzar Ahmad Bangroo formally joined the Apni Party along with several associates and supporters. Bukhari also criticised what he described as dynastic politics in Jammu and Kashmir and urged people to support parties committed to public welfare. Referring to civic issues in Srinagar, particularly Batamaloo, he alleged that inadequate development and lack of basic facilities continue to affect residents. He raised concerns over drinking water supply, road infrastructure and overall urban development. The Apni Party president also criticised the ruling National Conference over unfulfilled electoral promises, including commitments related to electricity, jobs and welfare measures. He further questioned the existing reservation policy and said concerns of urban populations also need attention. Taking a dig at traditional regional parties, Bukhari alleged that they have repeatedly used public sentiment for political gain. Several senior Apni Party leaders attended the event and welcomed the new entrants into the party fold.

Bukhari Discusses Political Situation, Public Concerns with LG

Srinagar, June 21: Apni Party President Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari on Sunday called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at the Lok Bhavan in Srinagar to discuss the prevailing political situation, besides raising important public issues and grievances. During the meeting, Bukhari raised a range of issues and problems that people are grappling with and urged the LG to ensure these issues are promptly addressed. They also deliberated on the prevailing political and security situation in Jammu and Kashmir According to a press release issued here, Apni Party President also apprised the LG of the official neglect towards several key developmental issues, affecting the people. He said that residents from various parts of Srinagar city have complained about the inadequate supply of drinking water, while farmers in several areas across the Valley are facing a shortage of irrigation water for their paddy fields. Mr Bukhari expressed concern that the departments and officials responsible for addressing these issues do not appear to be giving them the attention they deserve. As a result, people are being forced to suffer due to these persistent shortcomings, which continue to affect their daily lives and livelihoods. He also raised the issue of Kashmiri mutton traders who are allegedly being subjected to undue charges while transporting livestock to Jammu and Kashmir. He said that livestock-carrying vehicles entering Jammu and Kashmir through Punjab are being charged substantial fees from 15 to 20 thousand rupees at the Simbu and Madhopur checkpoints. He pointed out that these charges are unjustified and not applicable in the case of J&K mutton traders, as they do not procure livestock from Punjab. Instead, they buy their livestock from states such as Haryana, Rajasthan, and Delhi. Mr. Bukhari said that these unwarranted charges ultimately contribute to price inflation, placing an additional burden on ordinary consumers in Jammu and Kashmir. He requested the intervention of the LG to put an end to this practice. In response, the LG assured Mr. Bukhari that he would take up the matter with Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and make efforts to ensure that the prevailing practice of fee collection is discontinued. Mr. Bukhari thanked the LG for the decision to reopen the historic Naranag Temple in central Kashmirs Ganderbal district for devotees and tourists. At the same time, he requested the LG to consider reopening other tourist destinations and attractions that were closed following the horrific terror attack in Pahalgam last year. Responding to the request, the LG said that the administration is regularly reviewing the security situation and assured Bukhari that all presently closed tourist destinations would be eventually reopened in a phased manner. Bukhari also raised concerns about the developmental deficit, particularly in Srinagar city. He stressed the urgent need for the repair and reconstruction of roads, lanes, and by-lanes across various city areas, saying that the poor condition of the infrastructure is causing inconvenience to residents and requires immediate attention from the administration. Apni Party President also apprised the LG of the allegations regarding backdoor appointments, and said that whenever such allegations surface, they create a sense of frustration and disappointment among the youth, who look towards transparent and merit-based recruitment processes. The LG reiterated his commitment to resolving public grievances and taking appropriate measures to ensure that the concerns highlighted by Bukhari receive the attention they deserve.

Er. Rashid Mulls Stepping Down as Baramulla MP

AIP to seek cadre feedback before final decision Srinagar, June 21: Member of Parliament from Baramulla, Engineer Rashid, is reportedly considering either resigning from his parliamentary seat or launching a hunger strike while lodged in Delhi's Tihar Jail, sources close to him said. The development has triggered concern and debate across Kashmir, as Rashid remains incarcerated in a terror funding case. Sources close to him told Rising Kashmir that he has been deliberating the move for the past several weeks, expressing frustration over his inability to effectively represent and serve the people of north Kashmir while remaining behind bars. Sources said Rashid believes his continued detention has prevented him from fulfilling the responsibilities entrusted to him by voters. They added that both resignation from the Lok Sabha and a hunger strike are among the options under serious consideration. This is not the first time Rashid has indicated dissatisfaction with his political situation. During a previous period of interim bail, he had hinted at the possibility of stepping away from active politics. Engineer Rashid won the Baramulla Lok Sabha seat by a massive margin in the 2024 parliamentary elections despite being in custody. He has been lodged in Tihar Jail in connection with a terror funding case investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). There has been no official statement from Rashid or his legal team regarding the reported plans. However, sources close to him said that everything would become clear in the coming days. Meanwhile, the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) has decided to seek the opinion of its grassroots cadre on Rashid's expressed intention to step down from the Lok Sabha, citing his inability to effectively reach out to and serve the people who elected him with a massive mandate. In a statement, AIP Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi said that the party's Committee on Political Affairs held detailed deliberations on the issue and resolved to initiate a broad based consultation process involving party office bearers and cadres across all 18 Assembly segments of the Baramulla parliamentary constituency. After carefully examining all dimensions of the issue, the Committee on Political Affairs has decided that party functionaries at various levels will participate in a two day consultative exercise to deliberate on whether Engineer Rashid should continue as Member of Parliament or relinquish the position, Inam said. He added that the party may, if required, conduct a secret ballot among its cadres to ensure members can express their views freely and without any pressure. According to the spokesperson, party office bearers at the panchayat and block levels will engage with the general public and various sections of society to gather feedback on the issue. Their final opinion will reflect the sentiments conveyed by the people during the consultation process. The objective is to ensure that any decision regarding Engineer Rashid's future as MP is guided by the wishes and aspirations of the people who reposed their trust in him and the party, Inam said. He further stated that the outcome of the consultations and any subsequent voting process would be formally conveyed to Engineer Rashid, enabling him to take an informed decision on the matter.
