Conflict of Kashmiri Pandit with their Identity-A sensitive Issue

By
When we meet to anyone we generally asked “What is your name?” and “Where are you from?” Asking this, “we do not imply anything else and we simply want to know which place the other person belongs to”. It is simple to tell for us however it isn’t so easy for certain communities who are no longer associate themselves with their own land. More confusion is faced by the people who have been departed from their homeland for a long time. There is no question of just the land or the houses they leave behind, but main concern is with the culture, the distinctive practices and the identity that they leave behind when they sever ties with their native place. Presently we have such community which have searching its lost identity and become refugee in its homeland. Unfortunately, this kind of people may go anywhere in the world but coming back to their home remains a dream for such people. “They can ‘visit’ their homeland but cannot settle there again as they are the victims of the government’s apathy, they are the victims of militancy, they are the victims of the circumstances.
   In this blog, I tried to see at the predicament of the Kashmiri Pandits and also made an attempt to understand the role of politics on this situation. I have focused on the crisis of identity faced by the Kashmiri Pandits at present. In 1990, during exodus, no pandit had thought that they will not get again their homeland. Fortunately, some people had good Muslim neighbors who take care of their property, while some were unlucky as their houses illegally occupied, looted and burned. Many people were pressurized to sell their properties at low rates. Not only the question of losing property what they have when they were leaving their homes but also the question of their identity, which was under serious threat.
     Religious extremism was the main reason for nine different periods of exodus of the kashmiri pandits. There was force conversion however, those who denied they faced extreme forms of torture in J & K in the country.
      It is the requirement of the time to give adequate rehabilitation to the refugees in existence and to meet to their needs. “Sadly, the journalists’ and media has been reluctant to give focus to the plight of Kashmiri Pandits”. The beginning of the solution is that the media recognizes
