Forlorn, Neglected & Forgotten || By Bushan Parimoo || LIVE IMAGE

With my sources in every nook and  corner  barring security agencies or otherwise  help me to cross check apart from  it  occassional visit  to valley, help me know the ground reality.

So what is transpired from  ground and thereof verified checked  after recheck feedback  never taken anything on its face value on the principles  of once beaten  twice shy this habit has stood by me and never  let me down in my 53 years of active social and political life. 

As it was a news to me as such took basic check .Reference  was given to me  of a young coordinator with whom I talked  his reasoning was quite genuine  because  of the looming  threat  hanging on their head makes free moment to carry daily chores to sustain such a ploughing the field caring orchards bedides secuirty restriction to move about as such there is hardly anything to fall back upon.Learnt   a whasaap site  has been  created. 

As  others have  accurate information  and data  about migrants , the question is what details we have of the community members still in the Valley and are  in distress. 

Between 1996 and 2008 I had been  in valley during Darbar move ,putting up in Khanyari House a few house away fro Nehru Hotel then defunct opposite Nehru Park.Shikara business was dull at its lowest ebb so were other allied businesses,.They  hardly had  any income. One day  in 1997 one of  my known putting up in Mazada Hotel Boulevard  shared  that a Shikarawala known to   him  offered a boat ride pleading he had hardly earned  to sustain suggesting even Rs one hundered shall do

Question arises  why we didn’t find  any local beggars  among Muslim anywhere in valley and  so being  the case with Skihs .We have beggars from other part of the country  who were nick named Tourists from GOI.

It was given  to  understand  that  local fund raising has been  carried from transport and other sources .Tippers were arranged as alleged through bank loan to young nick named there rash driven tippers Taliban besides after its success Sumo service was introduced .As said a part of daily income went to the relief pool may be still on.

 It reminds  me of a  ditty:

Death  may provide relief to my  mortal frame but soul shall stay  restless. Pray   my wish is fulfilled  at its earliest  .

 There is no need for Rudalis. Only those whose heart bleeds  are welcome. Rudalis to stay away.

  1. Those who stayed there in Kashmir though they too had seen the who situation and didn’t support the views of the people who left rather stayed there accepting the conditions they live but the question that was raised upon those who left were asked as how others could stay in their motherland and why not you too.
    There is something that needs to understand we are not able to till date
