NEHRU'S
ADVICE TO THE KASHMIRI PANDITS
Pandit
Nehru as the top leader of Indian Independence movement exhorted and advised
the Kashmiri Pandits at a mammoth gathering at Sheetal-nath grounds to
join, reinforce and strengthen the so-called nationalist forces obviously
for empowerment of a culture model with its of-betrayed perverse proclivity
of maligning, persecuting, converting and liquidating non-Muslim ethnic
groups. India as an ancient-land with its catholic ethos was not only a
subject of discovery, but was a source material for authentic study and
guidance to resolve outstanding problems and issues left over from history
for purposes of shaping and mending the future political and demographical
map of India with an overriding accent on its organic unity. In Kashmir
Nehru's attempt was to gain that raison detre which he had lost
in the domain of Hindu-Muslim relations. The Hindu-Muslim conflict as a
sordid legacy from history with its sharpened face led to a damaging cleavage
when Muslims motivated by their culture model spurning broad demands of
nationalism opted for a separate homeland. What happened in Kashmir was
the continuation of the same conflict under a feigned secular facade till
such time Muslims would fight out the Hindu remnants in their practices
and thinking contours for a fundamentalist orientation and undergo rapid
economic and educational regeneration from torpid poverty and illiteracy
with lavish and generous Indian fundings under a constitutionally crafted
dispensation hegemonised over by Muslims deft in the art of black-mailing
and then opt out on the contrivance of the same thesis of Muslim majority
complexion of the state with threats from the Hindu majority of India.
That Nehru had thoroughly evaluated the religious persecution carried out
to the limits of genocide in Kashmir is not buttressed by his advice to
the Pandits to join the forces of treacherous nationalism which had a besmeared
face of communalism and religious antagonism.
