How ignorant one could be? And I believe ignorant is the wrong word. ‘Sophist’ is the right. In the midst of all that is happening in Kashmir now and rather all that had been happening since decades, when and how the two economies were given a choice to become self-proclaimed owner of the paradise.
Did any of the two states ever take pain to confirm what do
people of Kashmir want? Did they ever think of not spoiling the serenity of the
state with so much blood shed? Did they ever think of letting lose their
desires to just see the moment of peace and happiness in the valley? Surely
not.
Sadly, we are living
in that part of the planet where I can see my Facebook and Instagram posts fed
with the excerpts of who wore what while exiting and entering airport, how did
the Manish Malhotra’s show went yesterday night, how many celebrations were
held to celebrate Vivek and Divyanka (daily soap actors on StarPlus)
togetherness. On the other side, people in the valley are longing to hear their
loved ones for a moment. There is space where everyone you are exchanging with
these days is going gaga about Pokemon-Go, and there is another space where the
life has come to the standstill with no media and connections at all.
At the point, it’s more important to fill this void than fighting
over the real owner of Kashmir. At the point, it’s more important for one
nation to loosen the grip they’re holding since long only for the good of
humanity. Unfortunately, one has to withdraw from this tug of war and be more
diligent while handling this non debatable issue. One has to at least valorize the
peace and happiness that is the real need of the hour. One has to be stop
manhandling the other surely.
P.S. I am worried for my family like friends in Kashmir and the prayers for their safe survival are constant. May Allah Bless the Paradise.
