‘Kashmir is
on the edge’ – that was how most of the media chose to describe the situation
there.
No one knows
the number of times Kashmir occupied that ‘unenviable’ position since 1948; or
the precious lives we have sacrificed; or the whopping resources we have
expended and committed; or the mental turmoil of the numerous Pandits driven
out of their homeland, properties and livelihood. For over 60 years,
India has been bleeding. Nowhere in the world, would any nation have
sacrificed this much to bring about normalcy in a part of its own territory.
This
Government as well as its predecessors have excelled each other in offering
wasted dialogues, pampering economic packages, and inane confidence boosters.
The problem
has always been that of a ‘deficit’ – deficit of imagination, conviction,
determination!
When are we
going to wake up?
We are never going to wake up. Because Kashmir cause is like oxygen for us, pakistan,USA and for China. If it is solved, then all of us will miss a chance to pull the legs of each other. We always need an issue to raise alarm to fool our own people. Let us hope one day one able leader will lead us to solve this problem with a straight back bone.
