I didn know anything about Rukhsana prior to it but I knew it that she is a gujjar when I heard the news for the first time.
How can we foget Panna Dhay, Mrignayani and Jhansi ki Rani. (dont go after the details of serial which is being broadcasted these days. The serial isnt historically correct.)
We can search the newpapers of last few years and we'll find that 90% of the females showing this much courage against dreaded criminals, belong to Gujjar community.
People have to believe it someday that Gujjars were and are the bravest community of India.
Kudous to the SHER BIBI

Terror- fighters, who?
It is the week of 26/11. A week of remembrances and of pledges re-drawn. As the nation stood solemnly, silently and promised not to forget, a lesser known, forgotten village of Marrah Kulali spoke up. Windy heights and cold desolate people here tell you how easily we forget terror and the men who fight it. In 2002, Marrah Kulali in border district of Poonch was a home to over 600 militants, spilled over from training camps in Pakistan. Open grounds, villagers say, were their cricket fields. That was the time when 14 Gujjar muslims led by Tahir Fazal left their jobs in Saudia Arabia and returned home to fight them. Fazal, whose brother Mohammad Arif had been by killed Jaish-e-Mohamamd militants, set up the first civilian initiative against terrorism and named it the Indian Peace Peer Panjal Scout. He met Army bosses and senior politicians with the idea to train villagers in gun fight. Initially 14 volunteered and now the number is close to 300. The scouts knew the terrain well and even the local militants. With their help, in 2003, the Army launched Operation Sarp Vinash in Hill Kakka heights to flush out terrorists. Over 85 militant were killed, 65 hideouts busted. Over 63 villagers also laid down their lives. Marrah Kulali is still filled with the stories of this battle. The villagers who fought are buried all around, under bushy wild grass. The mud houses still hoard paper cuttings of their wide media coverage. Thick dust has settled in, both on their stories and their effort. At the village base, where random Tata mobiles reach with basic goods, there is a memorial. An Army jawan and a Gujjar standing together, perhaps the only memorial dedicated to civilians in the state. Other than this, the sacrifices are forgotten. The locals here still live in the dark, as villages down below light up. A kuccha track leads you here, even as a road was sanctioned under Prime Minister Grameen Sadak Yojna in 2005. Marrah Kullali was immediately promised a model village status. But a heavy vote bank ensured that neigbhouring villages got it. And as the government forgot, the village learnt to survive on its own. Young children, some barely 12 years old, know how to use a gun. Women have turned warriors. They are still the soft target of militant outfits. This year alone, 10 villagers were killed in separate attacks. A Tata mobile driving uphill was blown in IED blast. (This village schoolboy with a gun and patrols every night for two hours) Just because their effort and initiative was forgotten, the villagers protest on and off.. outside administration offices, some times blocking pot-holed roads. Media too reaches here far less. The Gujjars here are just another reminder of how we treat our terror-fighters. We let them turn into squatters outside heritage buildings. We allow their widows tireless battles to seek answers. We even play politics over their bullet-proof jackets. We all pledge to fight terror, but soon enough we forget the real terror fighters. We just let them be stories, covered in dust! |

How easy to catch a leopard for Gujjar? Bravery is in their blood.
A villager catches hold of a leopard in KashmirWednesday, March 3, 2010,11:45 [IST]

Dalohari (Jammu and Kashmir) (ANI), March 3 (ANI): A Kashmiri villager has caught a leopard that had allegedly strayed into their village in Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir.
Buzz up!Mohammed Yousuf Gujjar reportedly caught the stray leopard single-handedly on Tuesday (March 02) in Dalohari village here, as it tried to attack his goats.
"It came out of the forest and started off towards the house. Dogs started barking. There were two people with the dogs who tried to divert its attention. The leopard was caught off guard and I tied its hind legs with a rope," said Gujjar.
Last week the leopard had attacked three villagers.
With their natural habitat depleting sharply, leopards often find their way into villages on the edges of forests, where they are either captured or killed.
The endangered wildcat is killed by poachers and hunters for its valuable and beautiful spotted skin and also certain parts like the bones and nails used in Oriental medicines.
In 1997, India had an estimated 7,300 leopards in the wild but conservationists say the number is now likely to be much lower than this figure. (ANI)
