DesiPundit

Its so easy to say that we””ll lay down our lives to bring Kashmiri pandits back to the valley and I appreciate the sentiment as I””m sure the Kashmiri Pandits reading it will. Pity that sentiment was missing when our mosques were being used to drive these people out. None of us was willing to stand up and be counted when it mattered. None of us grabbed the mikes in the mosques and said this is wrong and the Kashmiri Pandits had every right to continue living in the valley. Our educated, well to do relatives and neighbours were spewing venom twenty four hours a day and we were mute spectators either mute in agreement or mute in abject fear but mute none the less.

The leader of National Conference, Omar Abdullah, who recently started his own blog, discusses Kashmir’s past and present in a long post. Hopefully, this will inspire more politicians to start blogging.
