No attempt yet to understand plight of Kashmiri Pandits

The evolution of political idiom and discourse is the direct outcome of the social, religious, economic and cultural experiences that a community comes across during a sufficient period of time. The comprehensive effect of all these experiences becomes more profound when the community is in exile in a country which it claims as its own and to which it bears its complete allegiance in terms of its civilisational moorings. The Kashmiri Pandit community falls in this category. More than two decades of exile have passed, as far as this community is concerned, in the history of the independent and post-colonial India. But the Indian state has failed miserably to protect the right to life, property, religion, culture and what not as far as this community is concerned. The reason being that the Indian state is guided by a policy premise — to keep the State of Jammu & Kashmir within the Indian union, it is necessary to compromise democratic and secular nat...
