22 years after the ethnic
cleansing in Kashmir valley, 4,00,000 Kashmiri Pandits are yet to return to
their homes. Leave alone their return to teh valley, nobody even talks about
this issue
There has been continuous focus on the plight of Muslims in
the camps in Gujarat, there has been total indifference and unconcern on the
conditions faced by Kashmiri Pandits uprooted and rendered homeless/helpless
living in refugee camps in Jammu, Delhi, Mumbai...
Its an old saga that occurred in 1989-90
and for more than two decades these residents of the “heaven on earth”, are
living the lives of hell.
The constant fear and shivering under their spine, to save their kith and kin from calamities of attacks, bombarding, rap has rendered the inhabitant of the valley refugees in their own motherland...
Numerous times, an argument is put forward that India is culturally heterogeneous nation and the minorities residing on this earth have equal rights...

Agreed...
But,
Has this same been applicable in case of
Kashmiri Pandits, who are in minority in Kashmir valley???
Has their interests and comforts been
taken care of???
Has their emotions, livelihood and
stability not gone for toss???
They have been driven out of their own
homes, have had to let go their hard earned money and status..
And
Most importantly, been victimised in the
blood boiling terrors and appalling horrendous assaults on their womenfolk and
kids...
Still,
the media and activists indict predicament
of Muslims in Gujarat!!!
There has been NOT A SINGLE riot occurrence
in Gujarat in past 10 years and both the communities who were sufferers in the
post Godhra riots have moved on and flourished.
The plight of these Kashmiri Pandits has
only worsened.
Driven away from their own homes,
generation has passed and they are rotting in the refugee camps and streets!!!
Has Teesta’s swallowed her own spit???
or
There is chilly water flowing in her veins
than blood???
