Way out of the communal trap
Transition to political engagement in Kashmir needs sagacious administrators
Communal murders have become shockingly commonplace in Kashmir. The targeted killings of Hindus and Sikhs, Dalits included, are merely written down against Pakistan-sponsored terrorist organisations with silly monikers like ‘freedom fighters’. Yet, these are Islamists committing murders of hatred and the people of Kashmir are as complicit in the killings as the people of Greater Noida, Alwar and wherever else Muslims have been lynched by cow vigilantes. But the national outrage that ensued after every instance of lynching over the cow — particularly from the Left Liberals, intellectuals and academia — is curiously absent when it comes to the killings of innocent Hindus and Sikhs in Kashmir; it’s almost as if they deserve to die because they are not Muslim and still happen to remain there.
