Awakened Perspective: The Visionary Dream of Kashmiri Youth

Sometimes we easily visualize historical internecine strife and vicissitudes, J&K has experienced over the centuries. It has also gone through a tumultuous political phase

A dream is generally observed when humans are asleep and one has no control over what is going to come up to him as a dream. It is simply a mental activity in response to stimuli stored in his sub -conscious. However, an open eyed or visionary dream is a situation which reflects a vivid aspiration, feeling and desire; circumstantially in response to host of the given conditions. They intend to act and react but are restrained and constrained by the prevailing environment and are left helpless, distressed or accomplished. In the present article an attempt has been made to portray the open eyed dream of present day youth of Jammu and Kashmir who are subjected to the stresses and strains of all types of the modern age.
Sometimes we easily visualize historical internecine strife and vicissitudes, J&K has experienced over the centuries. It has also gone through a tumultuous political phase. Intrinsically it has gone through wobbling and swaying, despite being the nerve center of trade, travel and learning. The abrogation of article 370, an auxiliary to new phase in its political epoch is bound to have guarded footfall, would be cautiously received and tread by the natives. Pertinent inquest which strikes to my mind as a youth of J&K, is it really going to make any dissimilarity for me or not. Will it mesmerize us tantalizingly or vitiate our future gallingly? How has rest of the country and the world perceived and taken it, till date and where does it see J&K today and onwards? When I say J&K I mean whole of the erstwhile state of J&K. What are its prospects of headway and progress, its forthcoming future and perhaps are the issues that stand today in the common man’s heart and soul? I brood over, can this pronouncement reshape it. Since in J&K people are not in insular or inward looking but aptly tend to focus on what world contemplates about them and rather what has happened and is happening with them in countless ways. Therefore, whenever we ponder upon about the politico- developmental milieu and own self, we need to make sure that we equate apples to apples in terms J&K. Also it entails who should it compare itself with or to whom it should be equaled and drawn parallel with.
Despite better economic and social indicators to most of its counterparts in the country, working upon with overwhelmed and captivated valor for impacting the change. The common youth seemingly senses lack of development, mis-governance, continued disturbance, backwardness, has been catalyst of ultimate change for political and economic restructuring which to the perception of native is far from reality. So to put squarely straight, J&K in many ways under altered set up has only to keep pace with progress of well-to do and developed states of the country and might have to emerge as “a star of the pack”. Resoundingly, people of J&K although may or may not see progress as development as something special as rest of the country may realize and grasp it. Since the change has been obligated, enforced and begun, what does the future hold for J&K which has been obsessively driven for greater assimilation. What is required, is that people who holds diadems may have to walk extra miles to see catalyst of change and transformation without proving ultimate go-between to loath the dystopian emerging out of given setup. It also raises key question which every citizen of J&K is asking, if not to anyone but to himself. Can country translate its enlargement and contraction, into vivid purposeful reality or it would also be a recipe of disaster for the people of J&K. Can the promises made reach and have outreach to their full potential? Furthermore, it is vital to see the decision maker’s strategies and ground realities aspirations of the people, feed of each other to endure, sustain and benefit, the interface and relation between the twosome. Any triviality in the matter, is going to have far reaching implications on the opening of window of peace and in meeting to the predictabilities raised euphorically on every forum.
Despite, all positivity, subdued calm and grey areas, there still remain some trouble spots that need to be addressed on priority without further delay. These includes bridging the trust deficit, transforming promise and phrased bastions in to realities. Otherwise, all this would make the work done transitorily without any transition look obscured and debilitating. It would greatly determine at the end of the day, how do we and people form outside look at J&K. It shall not continue to be unmanaged legacy by undermanaged folk, with only growing yearning for might and power. A note caution is must otherwise the process is bound to outlive shortly. It would require agility in sharpness in decision with very few layers and more efficient management and governance to safe guard the peace which is bound
To wrap up, I am irresolute to judge, whether J&K has come up of ages finally or not. Is the change temporary or permanent? Is the desire for cumulative success of abrogation of Article 370, the soul motive and may derive people crazy to forget what is required to contain it and give shape to it within greater milieu?
As a youth sometimes we think the step was warranted to emulate, what has been laid wrongly and move inexorably towards a progressive state. But barriers of relation, time and again remind me about every bodies apprehensive and fallout of which may spur feelings to new heights. At the same time, the youth dreams of growing access to operatives which seems to be choked anyways. Surely, it reminds me of my existence. I have observed jam-packed hotel, buzzing markets, crowded bus stands, throbbing tourist places, shining and glowing faces and happiness all around. Unfortunately, decision taken does not even show a resemblance of resetting it back, not to say of taking it to new height. It reminds me the gap between slogan and hampered peace.
All this mystifies me, how to raise quarries to my own self and ponder to find what is going to take place. The catalyst for peace, progress and prosperity are almost in place whether change is going to prove juggernaut or an avalanche of fracas and shall not swept away all good things in place. The conception about change, which an ordinary citizen does not realize is that change is bound to take place either way but change less than what is felt and observed will be virtually unrecognizable by those to whom it concerns. The change need to be such that it shall not be recognizable tomorrow from what it was yesterday, that too sooner than better. There and then the chances of J&K to stay on bandwagon and may enjoy ultimate achenes of change. It shall need to be such that visually it ought to be felt that a new epoch of adornment and titivation has begun upon J&K people. Otherwise it would drive them further away despite all vigor and the push. It shall avoid creating “an idiot box” of mis-governance, distrust and despise, belie, unfulfilled promises, and development deficit to exacerbate political atmosphere in any way. Instead proving a worthwhile platform shall not converse peace, prosperity and progress. Thus, things and situation need not to be abrade and fickle but requires greater finesse to yield consequential denouements on both sides where youth remains at the epicenter to provide much needed strength and stability. Ultimately the peace and clam prevailing, needs to be harnessed through garnering and nurturing energies of youth to build a strong Kashmir and Nation. It would require empowering the youth, to infuse among them the confidence, trust, responsibility, and self-empowerment to act as a cornerstone for positive mindset for nation building.
