today are no pictures, sorry. Not that I would have no. But firstly this Internet booth is very slow and they also do the same. I am in Chandigarh, which is the (new) capital of Punjab. The old one was Lahore, which belongs to Pakistan since 1946.
Actually I wanted to be not here, but my trip planned for yesterday by cable car fell to 5,000 meters high from unfortunately. While I was started on time, but in Srinagar was once again curfew after last Friday was Ramba Zamba again. In a village outside there was, unfortunately, many dead in the riots. In order to Gulmarg - that the ski resort in winter - to come, I would have run through the city have to. Although I had been waved through some of the security forces already, but then I got a hard-liner. Even when he made Umdrehzeichen Go there. I stopped, explained what I wanted, but then the bird flapped its Holzknueppel the Ruecksitz behind me. I advised him to control himself, but turned around just in case. The house boat I grabbed my clothes and made unnerved that I left in Srinagar for Delhi. Too bad.
Somehow, the situation is quite complicated, I try to declare, in a nutshell a little. Since there is a regional (Muslim) party in Kashmir, for the complete independence of India occur. Not for a connection to the Muslim Pakistan, as many believe. The only forget that, first, because India never join in and even if, then Pakistan would be ruckzuck here to grab the coveted since independence in 1946 Kashmir. India would be without protection for the Pakistanis then quite simple. And these politicians are now telling the people that they should strike, all. For more than two months now the Kashmiris bestreiken speak himself because they are the only victims themselves, the Indian army or police is not the itch, which are self-sufficient. But the children can not go to school, anything goes. Of course, the tourists remain away, in the 1990s, Kashmir was a flourishing tourist destination.
And then there are the stone throwers. Most young people who are of the "politicians" and mullahs are not stopped seriously. If there is too much then the army will constantly pelted with stones to be, they sometimes do not shoot with rubber bullets, but sharp back. How to end this idiotic cycle? I Hamid, the owner of the houseboat, the German situation declared in 1989. Peace was the goal of German unity, achieved after a few months. Instead of throwing the soldiers, you have them put flowers in the Gewehrlaeufe. They made "swords into plowshares." But the Muslims tick because otherwise, if religion play along, maybe suspend logical thinking.
I'm definitely following a sharp detour come out unscathed from the region. After a first night stop on a small lake in the mountains, I am now in Chandigarh. This city was designed by the famous Swiss-French architect Cobusier in the 50s and built. It is not so Indian. Tomorrow I will wander around a bit and report back probably from Delhi. Tomorrow evening I will get there. Yesterday I did 250 kilometers today, almost 400 kilometers. There remain about 250, but they will have it in them. The total third degree of car and truck drivers take to clear again.
