Kashmir remains in sad news around the clock and the year as people are used to hearing reports about the killings but this year on May 12, the photograph of Rahul Bhat with his innocent and smart looks struck everyone sadly and the entire valley wept silently with his wife tearing into the administrative inertia on his safety. Her courage and conviction reflected how Kashmiriyat is ingrained in the Bhat family as she believes that terrorism has no religion and that terrorists are there to create a reign of terror. Her visionary belief and clear wisdom sorrowfully turned reality on May 24 when again innocent blood was spilled on the Mother Earth’s Chadoora area when in the dark, terrorists barged into the house of another Bhat family in Hishroo village and shot a social media influencer Ambreen Bhat in front of her nephew who also got injured and saw her aunt being killed. Farhan Bhat in his early teens would throughout his life carry the scar and scare of death with him as do the other Kashmiri boys who have been witness to this violence for three decades which has challenged their mental limits by making them vulnerable to exploitation as the cases of drug abuse and psychological trauma have reached epidemic proportions in the valley. Kashmiris are yet to understand the motive and means behind the killing of Bhats, one a Pandit and another a Muslim but both striving to manage their families in their own way. No religion permits the killing of innocent as Almighty Allah in the glorious Quran clearly guides humanity about the essence of life by spelling the importance of saving lives and saying that if one kills a person, it’s the entire humankind who is killed. Similarly, the Almighty again through Quran reflects upon the role of a human being by impressing upon humans to respect and love each other as one who wants to be close to Allah should value another human life. However, in this dark age of violence, the principles of humanity have vanished as humans have turned mad and materialistic in dealing with each other with a result humankind is facing issues of pandemics, climate change, natural disasters, and subsequent death and destruction on this lonely living planet. One Bhat family is mourning in Jammu with the loss of Rahul and another is grieving in Kashmir with the demise of Ambreen as both would be remembered for living their life for their families.
