We did not franchised our votes : Youth wing Dard Shin Community.We will also meet to PM and President of India for our Rights: President SYW Kangan | As per the constitution of jammu and Kashmir state during the
session 1989, some communities in state were specified and decleared as”Scheduled Tribes” among the spacified communities like Balti, Beda,Bot,Bota and our community Dard/Shin was one and was enlisted in serial no4. During the session 1991 reservation rule was amended and some morecommunities were specified as Schedule Tribe amoung which Gujjar,
Bakerwal, Community, was another and was enlisted as serial no 9.Right from 1989 all the specified communities are enjoying thebenifits of ST status with full honour and dignity but unfortunatelyonly Dard Shin Community resides in Kangan Tehsil of DistrictGanderbal has been ignored and refused to provide the benifits of STStatus by the competent authority for the reasons best known to them.More than four thousand families of Dard Shin Tribe are residing inTehsil Kangan since 1975. The whole population of Sarbal Villagebelong to Dard Shin community resides in this village since before thepartition of the country which means 60 years back. Anothersignificance is Prang village where some more families are residingsince 1966. The villages like Akhal, Gonchi Mohalla, Check, Nela
Nejwan, Tang chatar , Hayan, Kulan, Wussan, Mamar, Sarbal, Sonamargetc of Tehsil Kangan where most people are from Dard Shin communityand they all are being denied from their rights. However some otherlaces the people of the same community like Natipora, Kralpora,Bandipora, Gurez, Tulail, Moujigund, Drass, Rajouri, Chandarkot injummu who are fully enjoying the status. Central govt has given theright that where ever the members of the Dard Shin tribe may reside,they can get the status of ST under SRO 126 withoutthe tehsil Kanganevery individual of the same tribe enjoys the right said Ab Gani Beighof Wani Mohalla of Kangan tehsil. The poor, deprived and helplessDard Shin Community residing in Kangan area got the orders fromHon;ble Lower and High court of Jammu and Kashmir with the clearinstructions to the Tehsildar Kangan for issuance of ST Certificateand providing of all the benefits under reservation rules, but
unfortunately the orders issued by theHon;ble court and higherauthorities are completely ignored by the Kangan Authority said thePresidant of “Shina Welfare Association” Tehsil Kangan. By thisinhuman behavior and attitude of Adminstration the poor and helplessDard Shin Community are completely demoralised and have lost all thehopes for betterment of their future generation. As all the member’sof Dard Shin Community residing in the different Tehsils of state ofJammu And Kashmir are fully enjoying the status of Scheduled Tribewith honour and dignity including Tehsil Ganderbal only the people ofDard Shin Community residing in Tehsil Kangan are refused to providethe benifits under ST status and the certificate is not issued by theTehsil Kangan. A representation was made to the Hon;ble Chief Ministerof Jammu and Kashmir by the Shina Welfare Association but he was alsohelpless in front of his cabinet and nothing was done said a Dard Shinmember of Gonchi Mohalla kangan Mr Ghulam Mohd lone.
The case bearing OWP 448 of 2002 read with C.M.P No 74202 was also
decided in the favour of the Dard Shin Tribe on 21-09-2005 and in this
regard also the Social Welfare Department issued the circle in favour
of the Applicants of Dard Shin Tribe inhabitants of Tehsil Kangan. But
when the Applicants of Dardshin Community applied in Kangan Tehsil
they were refused and the poor people aggain approached the Hon;ble
High Court of J&K for redressed of their Grievence and the Hon;ble
High court further on 12-05-2010 under case no 3065/13/05/05/2010
decided in favour of the Applicants. Alocal residant of Sarbal
Village Mr Juma lone of Dard Shin community told that “We have visited
every office of Jammu and Kashmir even we did not left any Minister
but every thing goes to vain, know from last 2years DC Ganderbal is
playing hide and seek with us. We did not know why the staus of this
down trodden communiy is being voilated by some unknown political
reasons”. A youth of Dard Shin community from Kangan {name with
held}said that “we request once again to the authorities that please
see the matter so that our ill fated community should be pull out from
this mud of vicious poverty by best owing us our basic rights given by
the law. If govt fails to give us our right we may came on roads and
Adminstration will be responssible for any cause”.
Demanding immediate attention of the Government, the DardShin
community said “we are disappointed with the state as well as the
district adminstration as they emezzle crores of rupees inthe name of
development of Tribes. If the Government continues to ignore us we
will flee back to our mother land in the other Kashmir.
Promises of J&K (Indian) government:-ST order 1989 by the President of
India issued wide notification no G.S.R 882{E}on 7th oct 1989 in
Kashmir under S.R.O 129 date 26.06.1994. But the Shina community did
not received any helpfrom Government. The people of Gurez, Tulail
specially Shina community state migrated from Tulail, Gurez,because of
natural wide problems such as floods, fire, uncomfortable life,
avalanches, electricity,Kar gil war in 2002 year and the Kishanganga
Hydal power project which forced us to leave our mother land and ourancester’s . At present The Shina community is facing their statusproblems in Tehsil Kangan of Jammu and Kashmir.The government is not
providing them their Scheduled tribe status (ST) due to some unknown
political reasons.The J&K Indian government is sleeping.The Shinacommunity demands to get their ST status back.”The honorable hig court has given the orders in favour of Shina community, butunfortunately the administration of Ganderbal and some unknownpoliticians are violating our rights”said a dard shin member Ab Azizlone. With tears in eyes Lone added that”people were forcebly migrated fromTulail and know they are beingcheated, why this happens only with the poor people of kangan tehsil,we lost and left every thing their andeven we could not build ourhouses here because of advance and modernization of other people butwe try to save our selves by daily work. We earn some money in wholeday andfullfill our basic needs because we not have much land forcultivation. We request our central govt if you can’t give thebanefits then you should not make promises, govt doest not accept theorder’s of High court and we poor people can’t do any thing know as wecan’t forward our issue in Supreme court of India,we request you please highlight our issue so that we can get ourright,He added.According to some relaible sources Shin people casted votes against NC government in the constituency. A youth Mukhtar Ahmad Lone said “why to vøte those who disgussed our community”. Recently when Umar Abdullah CM Kashmir asked people to help him to know why NC lost its bastion hold in Kangan Ganderbal through a email id Gukar@ gmail.com and a group of senior citizens also visited the residence where he CM assured them to help but he was misguided ay his team and result he got” he added.
