	I am posting this so everyone can compare this with present 
	day situation.
	---------------------------------------------------------

	Lincoln's strong love to the constitution, extracted from
	a letter to Albert G. Hodges, editor of Frankfort Kentucky
	newspaper.

	...I did understand however, my oath to preserve the 
	constitution to the best of my ability, imposed upon me 
	the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means,
	the government - that nation - of which that constitution
	was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation
	and yet preserve the constitution? By general law life and
	limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated
	to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save
	a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional,
	might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the
	preservation of the constitution, through the preservation
	of the nation........

				Abraham Lincoln, April 4, 1864.

	I love this more than Gettysburg for it implies how unity
	of the nation is important.
	_______________________________________________________

	The following speech was given by Lincoln at Baltimore.

	...The world has never had a good definition of
	liberty, and the American people, just now, are
	much in want of one. We all declare for liberty,
	but in using the same word we do not all mean the 
	same thing. With some the word liberty mean for each
	man to do as he pleases within himself, and the 
	product of his labor; while with others the same
	word may mean for some men to do as they please
	with other men, and the product of other men's
	labor. Here are two, not only different, but
	incompatible things, called by the same name-
	liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, 
	by the respective parties, called by two different
	names-liberty and tyranny.

	The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat,
	for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator,
	while the wolf denounces him for the same act as
	the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was
	a black one. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not
	agreed upon a definition of the word liberty; and precisely
	the same definition prevails to-day among us human creatures,
	even in the North, and all professing to love liberty.
	Hence we behold the processes by which thousands are
	daily passing the yoke of bondage, hailed by some
	as the advance of the liberty, and bewailed by others as
	the destruction of the liberty.

					Abraham Lincoln

  Apart from numbers and letters, he also claims to have a repertoire
of twenty thousand (yes, 20000!) jokes which he can recall at will
and without much ado. A claim that I am inclined to believe, for on
the one occasion that I met him - the day before he left for Colorado
after finishing up at K-State - he actually told me something in the 
region of 400 or 500 jokes, all between mouthfuls of beer and in    
quick succession. And all pretty funny ones too.

  I'm not sure, but I think he uses numbers as mnemonics rather than 
remember the jokes themselves in any particular order. He assigns a 
number to each joke and for any given number he can recollect the 
corresponding joke by association. And I don't mean to make this sound
esoteric, but I would like this to using pointers or arrays in 
programming.

  Reminds me of Shakuntala Devi, who isnt exactly a hypermnemonic,
but must possess of considerable mental capacity to perform 25-digit
multiplications in her mind.

  And on a slightly different note, anyone heard of an Israelite(?)
called Uri Geller, who can move or bend small metal objects with 
his mind? I have read somewhere (I dont remember where), that the
average human mind has a vast, but latent, capability to perform
tasks that are now considered beyond the realm of reality. And that
people that are "gifted" are just those who inadvertently happened
upon a very small part of that capability. Maybe some day science
will have a scientific explanation for such phenomena and any common
lout can make 100 lb rocks bounce around without batting the
proverbial eyelid!

  Any interested persons with more detailed facts, care to 
elaborate?

Funny your poem is written in Urdu (A Deccani language) or Hindustani.  Why not
in that lovely Kashmiri language (it really is wonderful to listen to, even if you 
don't understand a word -- I've heard GR Santhokh recite some of his poems, the very
cadence is musical).  Or is your poem "For `Kashmir for Kashmiris'" for non-Kashmiris?

First I want to make clear I'm no apologist for the likes of Shahabuddin,
Bukhari,the BJP etc. 

But in response to the last part of your assertion I would like to point out 
that in any civil case or for that matter a criminal case, a citizen is free
to appeal his or her case in a higher court if a lower court rules against his
complaint or finds him guilty. Only the Supreme court has the final say in a 
civil case for which the litigant cannot appeal against.
