Anand K. Sahay | Kashmir still plagued by undercurrents of crisis

Deccan Chronicle  

Many Kashmiri Pandits who didn’t leave the Valley even in the high noon of terrorism in the early 1990s are now leaving, slowly. The killing of Pandits on a regular basis since 2021 -- with the government at a loss to understand what’s going on -- has taken its toll. When on August 5, 2019 the Narendra Modi government dropped a bombshell and did away with J&K’s autonomy, signalling that now Indians from anywhere could settle in Kashmir, the fate of Dr Singh’s scheme became uncertain. The irony, however, is that the Muslims of the erstwhile J&K state are now wholly alienated; and the Hindus -- Kashmiri Pandits and Jammu’s Dogras -- and Ladakh’s Buddhists, are rising up in protest.
