By Arundhati Roy

While we're still arguing about whether there's life after death, can we add another question to the cart? Is there life after democracy? What sort of life will it be? By "democracy" I don't mean democracy as an ideal or an aspiration. I mean the working model: Western liberal democracy, and its variants, such as they are.

Srinagar, May 24 GK News: The secretary general, of Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (R), Muhammad Saleem Nanaji, was released on Sunday, after nine-month detention.

In a statement a JKLF(R) spokesman said that immediately after his release Nanaji went to Martyr’s graveyard at Eidgah here and offered Fateha Khawani. “I salute the Kashmiri nation for their valor and urge them to remain united to fight the oppression.

 “As Kashmir is an internationally recognized disputed territory, any dividend taken by encroaching on its perishable resources without its final settlement is tantamount to economic piracy,” said Farooq Siddiqi in a statement today said, “While we respect the riparian and perennial rights of our national neighbors we reserve the right to safeguard our potential static energy and mineral reserves against prowling. The draining of our national energy resources from our water potential and mineral resources from Kishtiwar and Padder in the last 60 years to provide the gains to Indian economy has caused Kashmiri people dearly and has undermined Kashmir’s economic base.”

SRINAGAR, India -- Middle East Times  Twice, I tried to see Farooq Ahmad Dar in Udaimpur, located on the outskirts of Srinagar city. The press secretary of the JKLF, Wajahat Qureishi, promised a meeting with Dar, but it was never the right time. "I don't want you to be a suspect," he says, "Maybe another time."  When Farooq was briefly released from Udaimpur jail, he sent me an email earlier this year to tell me he would be arrested the following day. On Jan. 22, 2008 Dar wrote:
