So you do not want to return permanently to Kashmir, what's next?
Based on past trends borne by the history, it is easy to assume that most Pandits that left the valley in 1989, and thereafter, will not return to the valley for permanent resettlement. There will be exceptions, but that is the extent of the return, not withstanding various grandiose declarations by the government officials or politicians, who too know (and have expressed such views in private) that very few, if any, Pandits will ever return for good.

Jammu Uprising
Now, for the first time in 20 years since the rise of terrorism, Jammu people have risen in protest against this grave insult to their religious sensitivities. Pandits have lent their wholehearted support and, except for a few well-known compulsive leaders with a penchant to steal the limelight and see themselves in the press at every possible opportunity, they have remained discreet and allowed the Sangharsh Samiti to lead from the front, which is as it should be in our own interest.

The Kashmir Problem
Kashmir is like a very beautiful but a wounded woman. For a long stretch of its history it has been coveted and ruled by many foreigners. Immense misery has been wrought on its inhabitants by the usurpers. Even today its neighbor, Pakistan, believes that it has the right to own it. Kashmir Problem has aged enough over its sixty years, without permitting a clear view to many of its observers of its solution, thereby maturing to have become an enigma.

When did Muslims in Kashmir begin to write history? This question cannot be answered precisely because of the loss of at least three early Farsi histories mentioned in later historical record.

Kailash Manasarovar Yaatra
Hindus worship Mt. Kailash (or Rudravase) as the abode of Lord Shiva and Uma Parvati (Divine mother of the Universe, Shakti). Its exceptional isolation and peculiar contours of black granite give it the appearance of Shiva Linga placed on a lotus pedestal. For Hindus a journey to Kailash is considered the ultimate Yaatra due to both the difficulty of reaching it and the level of sanctity attached to it.
