The difference between a home and house is not less than the difference between the day and night. The return of Kashmiri Hindus known as Kashmiri Pandits has again overshadowed the news headlines and has once again put some extra fuel in the hot political furnace of the state and the whole of India. The issue has made the life of many easy as it's a debate which has always been perfect for the prime times and trust that if there's nothing left in the polity and if it looks dull, take on the home coming of the migrant Hindus and it will turn the test match into the slog of a twenty twenty.
The KP home coming has over shadowed and dominated all other issues in the J&K politics and not only the state politics but the politics at the centre too. The news channels, news papers and the experts are in full tide expressing their expert comments. People in the valley took on to streets to oopose the alienation of the Pandits by facilitating a seperate township for them in valley.
Ideally it does make no sense to arrange a seperate township for the migrated sons of the Kashmir soil. It will only create an alienation and not only that, it would be even more worse for them than living in different parts of India.
Home is a home and there's a non compromising difference between home and a mere house. If it has to be a homecoming, it has to be a return to home n not a house. There are some elements in the KP fraternity also who have benefitted the most by the facilities provided to them by the Indian government and a bitter fact is that they would never want something like a homecoming to happen officially for they will have to forfeit from the luxuries, but if a common KP who is in exile is asked about homecoming, he would not need to answer by words because one can actually read from his what a relief that would be and what a dream come true that would be.
Politics seems to be played in its full swing on this issue also and it looks like a routine process of just hollow promises. The government looks more interested in being at their best to play with the emotions of people and be able to shout their hollow claims on top of their voices on prime time shows. Let's hope that one day the children of the motherland return to the lap of the mother n the atmosphere returns to a loving one with all Kashmiris, KP's KM's KS's n KC's live in harmony and be there to stand together hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder.
