Marginalisation in Kashmir

in kashmir •  7 years ago 

In Kashmir, the prolonged armed conflict has swelled the sphere of the marginalized from few historical and geographical groups to almost the entire society.

Ex-militants are citizens without rights.

The school drop-outs of kunan-Poshpora rape victim families are sneered as ‘harami’ [sic] (bastard).

After Papa 2 and Hari Niwas, it is Pellet gun that is disabling Kashmir.Marginalisation in ashmir 5×7_1-11-2017 (1).jpg

“Don’t waste time and money; don’t strain yourself and family as I can’t see, my mother. To my right eye, you appear crow-black and to my left eye, you are hazy”.

Half-mother’s last wish

“….Come in the dream; have pity, have mercy on my wretched form. Only then my tightened and strained nerves will stretch……..”

The killed civilian’s mother

Marne chhaanay aaftaaban paan khoatt
You died and the sun hid its face

Marne chhaanay gao jahaanas aenei goat
You died and the world plunged in darkness

Declining population, cultural shock and identity crisis due to the highly scattered rehabilitation will make Kashmiri Pandits the worst marginalised group.
