Survivors Speak
What is my
greatest problem in the Valley? My father a petty shopkeeper was picked up from our home, within minutes hanged to death in the precincts of our house in presence of my mother, sister and brother with no charge, rhyme or reason. Neighboring elderly Muslim women came to console us. Some of them said that it was God's will. Not an insect can be killed unless Allah wills. There were tears in the eyes of a few girls, my class mates, but when one of them told me to forget the dark past and rejoice in the new faith I was greatly hurt. She told me this while the dead body was still hanging from our walnut tree in front of our house. I was shown a Muslim neighbor elder to me 10 or 15 years to be my husband.
Border Security Forces (BSF) by chance
suspected something wrong as they saw hundreds of men, women and
children running to our house. BSF helped us to move to Jammu. In Jammu
I pin-pointed names of all those who mercilessly eliminated my dearest
father but all in vain. Kashmir is 100% Islamized now. If I return to my
home in the valley someday, how shall I feel when I face the same people
who proved so cruel and barbaric and easily escaped any punishment even
the formality of being questioned. |
