The Modi government's decisions, to neuter Article 370 of our Constitution and to reorganise the State of Jammu and Kashmir, are truly epochal.
Article 370 was the veritable foundation on which a bigoted Muslim State of J&K was raised on the territory of secular India.
It took extraordinary political will and immense courage, to dismantle the privileged edifice that sustained jihad in Kashmir. No wonder this 'temporary' provision in our Constitution took so many decades to go. We, the patriotic Indians in general, and those from the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir strewn across the globe, in particular, are celebrating. Individuals or groups, speaking in our name to cast aspersions on the decisions and to attribute questionable motives, are a bunch of imposters trying to sow confusion and vitiate atmosphere. They never spoke up or acted as Kashmiri Pandits in the past even when the community was subjected to blood and gore and hounded out of the valley. Their dubious role in the past vis-a-vis the matter of Hindu genocide in Kashmir is a matter of record. Time and again they have emerged from the ranks of victims and survivors, only to collaborate with the perpetrators of our genocide and be complicit in their secessionist project. We, the resilient Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs, patriotic Kashmiri Muslims, valiant Dogras, proud Ladakhis and the rest of the conscientious Indians hail these emancipating decisions and cannot wait to see them implemented, resolutely, on ground.
We promise our unflinching support to the government for this cause and are available to contribute in all the manner we can.
Bharat Mata ki Jai!
