| A tribute to Pandit Kashyap Bandhu Ji | | Sharadhanjali | |  Dr. Rajiv Kumar
Pandit Kashyap Bandhu, the tallest community leader of his time departed to proceed on his eternal journey this day, the 18th of Dec 1985.
Now, was the need for such dynamic leadership for the community when people responsible for their plight and flight from their homes and hearts are claiming to be the Messaiha.
Had Bandhuji been alive, the present generation would have surely asked as to what were the gaims for the community by his embracing the Sheikh and enabling Muslim Conference to become National Conference in 1938.
In 1950, the ancestral properties of the Pandits in the shape of land and orchards was taken away without any compensation.
In 1960, the government jobs were denied to him on the basis of Merit. Even the social security of the Pandit women was attacked to eusence degradation of their self respect. The mass agitation too was handled in such a way to make the Pandit feel totally helpless.
During 1970s, the agricultural lands available with the community were also ordered to be shared with the Kashtkar making the Pandit almost land less. He was forced to move out of the valley to look for jobs to make vacancy for the majority community.
In 1980s, his life itself was threatened not only were the temples torched, but the Pandit homes were also set on fire with people within. This was done while political chess was being playing on the Kashmir convass.
In 1990, the whole Pandit populace was made to flee for their life. The ones who did not were massacred, who can ever forget wandhama; Nadimarg, Shankerpora and many more.
And now, Farooq Ahmed Sheikh the Sahibzada of the tall Mohmad Abdullah Sheikh is asking the Pandit youth as to why they are inclining towards Jammu political set up. Afsoos-sad-afsoos Farooq Ji on your political sagacity. You left the valley and the country its self to go to London when you were needed the most by the people who had invested in you and the National conference. Now, you dare to speak such words.
Pandit Kashyap Bandhu ji it is good that you are not around to see your community a political orphan, a better tomorrow. Certainly you must be shedding tears on seeing this hapless community whom you had entrusted into the good faith of the National Conference. |
