I have just returned from the electric crematorium. There were people, and then there were more. No formal invitation had been sent, the news travelled from heart to heart.
Asking the jihadi doctor to mediate with another jihadi to elicit peace is like asking the wolf to guard the sheep. When are the wise men in the bureaucracy going to realize that those islamists really want an islamic caliphate established in India. Why’s the Print playing into that narrative by publishing at least one islamic sob story a day?
The circumstances in which Kashmiri Pandits were driven out of their homeland mirrors in microcosm the Partition. We have made our lives in India, almost invariably better than what would have been possible if we had stayed back. So one admires Dr Kaul’s lack of rancour and bitterness. Some KPs, sadly, have adopted very harsh views on the subject, feel no empathy towards what people are now suffering in the Valley.
One fallout of recent events has been medical troubles increasing for Kashmiris. Shri Sitaram Yechury was permitted by the SC to travel to Srinagar to meet his ailing colleague, Shri Yousuf Tarigami. Upon return, he has filed an affidavit, detailing the travails of YT, who needs a cardiologist and endocrinologist to attend to him. One hopes the apex court will be sensitised to the difficulties Kashmiris are facing, with shortage of life saving and other drugs being widely reported. Treatments such as dialysis and chemotherapy being disrupted. As a dove, I have always seen Kashmir as a human, not a purely security, issue.
