A 'minor' symbol of nationalism in Srinagar
The clock tower at Lal Chowk, in the heart of Srinagar, has apparently no significance for Kashmiris. The tower is in a dilapidated condition, the clock has stopped functioning long back, and people pass by even without noticing it.
Hoisting the Tricolour at Lal Chowk evoked protests
However, it's the competing political ideologies in Kashmir, and even from outside the Valley, that have turned this tower into a " great political symbol". The announcement by the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha, the BJP's youth wing, that it will hoist the Tricolour at Lal Chowk on the Republic Day and the quick response by separatist leader Yasin Malik to resist the move have brought back to focus, the significance of the square. In fact, any organisation that announces hoisting a flag at Lal Chowk ends up unfurling it on the clock tower. Lal Chowk, a business hub, is named after the central marketplace in Moscow - Red Square. Local historians say it was some enthusiastic communists who thought up the name after Lenin seized power in Moscow in 1917. They say Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, an admirer of socialism, gave the square the name Lal Chowk.
In 1980, Bajaj Electricals raised the clock tower in the middle of Lal Chowk. "It served as an advertisement for Bajaj in Srinagar," Farooq Ahmad Shah, director- tourism, said.
He said that for years it was not renovated. Now the state government has started renovation work on the tower. "We want to repair it on the lines of traditional Kashmiri architecture," Shah said.
Flag hoisting at Lal Chowk began at the height of militancy in the state in 1991 when BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi took BJP youth wing to hoist Tricolour at Lal Chowk

Flag hoisting at Lal Chowk began at the height of militancy in the state in 1991 when BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi took out the ' Ekta Yatra' from Kanyakumari to Srinagar, ostensibly to symbolise India's assertion in an area where Pakistani flags were seen as a grim reminder of separatists' defiance.
The announcement brought militant groups together. And the day the Tricolour was unfurled on the tower, thousands of bullets were fired in the air by militants across the Valley to express resentment. Joshi had to hoist the flag in a haste, as a rocket landed metres from the tower.
For the past two years, even the CRPF has not unfurled the flag on the bunker about 200 metres away from Lal Chowk.
On June 27, 2008, when Kashmir erupted against the transfer of forest land to the Amarnath shrine board, thousands of people hoisted scores of green flags on the tower.
Mainstream political parties, including the National Conference and the People's Democratic Party, use the tower to address political gatherings. Early this month, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti addressed a rally near the tower to criticise the government over frequent power failures.
"Lal Chowk has been historically important right from 1947. Sheikh Muhammad Abdullah and the first prime minister of India Jawaharlal Nehru gave several significant speeches here," said Prof. Gul Muhammad Wani, who teaches political science in Kashmir University. He, however, pointed out that it was Joshi who turned the tower into a " political symbol" by hoisting the national flag on it in 1991.
He termed the Yuva Morcha's latest move a political gimmick. "The BJP has lost two successive elections and now they want to build the party on emotional and corruption- related issues," he added.
