With the suffering and pain that the people of Kashmir growing manifold which have cropped up in the current situation, one characteristic has been particularly striking– and that is the support and protection that the majority community has accorded to the religious minorities. In given situation of conflict, minorities, quite naturally, tend to feel anxious and unsure. It goes to the credit of Kashmir’s deep-rooted ethos of communal brotherhood and amity that the minority communities have stood side by side with the majority community and the majority community has taken care of the needs and protection of minority communities. Importantly there are instances when majority community members have visited their minority brethren and provided them financial and material support to take care of their basic needs. Despite certain occasional aberrations, Kashmir must take pride to have taken care of its inclusive and syncretic character. It is important for all political formations and communities to conduct their politics and daily activities in a manner that the bond between various communities is only strengthened. New Delhi must resolve Kashmir as per needs of humanity and the assurances given to the Kashmiris. While most of the politicians have been talking about Kashmiriyat and Jamhooriyat when the human lives are lost, there is no accountability as far as such civilian killings across Kashmir are concerned.
