Enough of muslim suffering in Kashmir. Why can’t you talk about the atrocities muslims have committed on hindus. Muslims with the help of terrorists from Pakistan have killed thousands of innocent Kashmir Pandits They have driven out all the Pundits from Kashmir which is nothing but ethnic cleansing. So don’t try to tell lies through your music. What goes around comes around. Muslims were not native to India and Kshmir was part of India and will remain a part of India. So sing a song for India and not just for cruel muslims.

Anyone who knows zerobridge and is a true fan of their music knows that when they choose to sing about politics, they don’t exclude anyone. In regards to Kashmir in particular, they are too familiar with the situation to be one sided, having visited and lived in the place throughout their lives. Rahul, if you really take the time to listen, you’ll realise they speak and relate to everyone who has suffered and lost in the conflict, including the Kashmiri Pundits. In fact on their first record one of the best songs, entitled “Nazar,” was influenced by the novel “The Tiger Ladies,” written by Sudha Kaul, a Kashmiri Pundit who tells her true story of growing up in Kashmir amidst times of peace and violence. Unfortunately not many people have heard that record. Hopefully they will rerelease the song at some point. Try downloading it on limewire or some other site. And listen to the lyrics of Suffering Moses. Who can they possibly alienate in that song?! zerobridge are a great band and have the potential to do great things. if you don’t get that, then it’s just too bad.

I wish ZB were equally adept at weaving the travails of exiled KPs into their lyrics. Ought to bring about an even keel. Alas..

This is a great band, but clearly Eckelman is carrying them on his back, just like he carried The Phoids.

This is a great story, Zerobridge is definitely an awesome band, I’m glad you captured their essence like this. it’s always good to read more about the soul of a band and what makes them click. Can’t wait to see them perform soon.
