OPEN LETTER
The " invaders" openly aggressed Kashmir on 22nd October 1947, let India set priority number one on this 26 October to take back the Kashmiri Migrants::.
Hon´ble Sir,
1.The conditions in J&K { particularly Valley } are not encouraging { deteriorating }. Those in teens and twenties have very less convincing information about Kashmir being India. So, still more rearing grounds have hence emerged for anti India forces ( Pakistan, foreign mercenaries and local insurgent as well as Pakistan loyalists) to cultivate stories against the goodwill for India / 1947 accession of JK with India.
2. Unfortunately all innocent Kashmiri Muslims are being misunderstood by the other world as being fully involved in pushing out Kashmiri Hindus from valley where as the truth is not so. This is causing a great damage to the good will of Kashmiri Muslims as well as the ties between Hindu & Muslim could weaken out of ignorance. Any more delay can dismantle the communal matrix beyond normal reconstruction.
3. Kashmiri kids who were in primary class in 1989 have now (2009) surely started thinking of some dispute regarding their Nationality. Non Hindu Kashmiri is regularly so mis informed after 1989 about the intentions of Bharat Sarkar that they do not much believe in confidence building efforts of the government officials as well as the security forces taking them simply as government loyalists.
Local Hindu from Kashmir Valley is out for nearly 20 years. It is enough to make the outside world think that India has some serious problem in J&K.
One could even say that this day 100 crore Indians are migrants from Kashmir Valley.
4. You were kind enough to feel the miseries of those poor Kashmiri Pandits who ran away from Kashmir Province of J&K and are still staying in the tents and one room apartments provided by the Government at Nagrota, Muthi, Mishriwala and Roopnagar near Jammu but efforts appear lacking in taking them back to valley.
5.Those who compare the plight of Kashmiri Migrants of 1990 with 1947 Displaced persons from POK are not justified since POK is under the control of Pakistan but Kashmir is under the control of India. Therefore delay in return of POK DPs to Mirpur or Muzafarabad can not be compared with Kashmiri migrants staying outside their homes since last two decades.
6.The Government of India proposing to add one more pacca room to the one room accommodation already provided to migrants has surely sent more wrong signals. World could infer that GOI is not hopeful for ensuring the return of Kashmiri Hindu to the Valley even in the near future.
7.The delay in their return is causing more and more damage. The Kashmiri Migrants had not left the valley due to economic reasons. Under the circumstances Kashmiri Pundits too do not appear to be so easily interested to return to Kashmir. Some migrants may not like to lose the benefits in education, business , jobs and sympathies they are presently getting as migrants. So it will not be in the interest of India to look for return of Kashmiri Migrants { mostly Kashmiri Hindu } through providing them jobs or economic support. Roads- buildings-material bridges and the like could be built any time late. Government of India must set return of migrants to Kashmir Valley as priority number one. Some hard decision will have to be taken.
8. Even the mainstream "Kashmiri leadership " has been laying allegations on government of India for having eroded special status of "Kashmiries" . What ever may be the occasion what ever may be the reference, what matters is who is saying what and in what atmosphere. As a result of their own follies the elite Kashmiri leadership has this day landed itself in such a situation where the vote race in Kashmir can not be won by any leadership with out talking of alleged injustice done to Kashmiries since 1947. This has to be seriously considered.
9.The Kashmiri Hindu has always been the source of information/ assessment on Kashmir affairs for Bharat Sarkar and they too can not escape the responsibility for the wrong assessments of Kashmir situations as made in the past. It is only after 1989 that they sounded / " blew" / alleged so loud the bads of the majority community of Kashmir Valley after they came out of the valley.
10.Hence all energies must be concentrated on taking back the Kashmiri Hindu migrants to Kashmir Valley. Unless it is done the world view and the views of innocent local Kashmiri on J&K being a disputed territory between India and Pakistan would keep on making further inroads thereby providing enough ground to anti India forces to inflict internal insurgencies in J&K in on form or the other.
The " invaders" openly aggressed Kashmir on 22nd October 1947, let India set priority number one on this 26 October to take back the Kashmiri Migrants::.
11.The demographic and social structure of Kashmir Valley has to be immediately reconstructed .{i} Migrant State Government employees must be asked to work in Kashmir and take wages. {ii} Government Employees in moving departments, should be given accommodation in colonies .Their families when live with in local muslims many misgivings could be set aside and only then construction of the communal matrix will start. {iii} Simply the holidaying couples visiting Kashmir can not restore the confidence of the World for Kashmir being India.{iv} Regular wars do not consume so much of blood of soldiers as we are consuming in J&K . Those Local leaders who so casually lay allegations on the Security forces must be checked with zero tolerance. {v} No democracy like India can afford to keep the Army for longer periods in civilian areas as otherwise it could do huge damage to the honor and goodwill of the Army and para military forces.
With highest regards,
Yours Sincerely,
