What
area do we claim for the Homeland and why?
A
Homeland
cannot be thought out of context of the land that
belongs to the community. So the Homeland for the
displaced Kashmiris will have to be conceived in
the valley itself.
We
have asked for the area North and East of the
River Jehlum. The valley has to be divided in
acceptance of our claim. River Jehlum provides a
natural geographial divide and, therefore, shall
represent a line of demarcation between the
Homeland and the rest of the valley. The southern
region of the State to the North and East of the
Jehlum with the National Highway passing through
it also happens to be the region with most of our
holy shrines including the holiest of the holy,
Sri Amarnath. Logistically and demographically,
this area is most suitable for conversion into the
Homeland with a Union Territory status.
