Kashmir Still With a Muslim Psychology

Author: Dalip Singh Wasan

In 1947-48 a part of Kashmir had been occupied by India and a part of Kashmir went to Pakistan and because of certain international pressures both the countries could not finally merge these parts in their own countries and they have been maintaining separate identities of these two parts apart from India and Pakistan. India is claiming that whole of Kashmir is part of India but Pakistan says that Kashmir is a disputed territory and the people of Kashmir should be allowed to decide the final fat e of kashmir and that is the reason, these two parts are still going on with care-taker governments.
The government of India is not accepting the demand of plebiscite which had been decided by UNO because of the population problem because the majority in Kashmir are Mohamdans and there are chances that they may not be voting in favour of India. Even Pakistan is not very much certain that the people of Kashmir shall vote in favour of Pakistan and if there is plebiscite in Kashmir most of the Kashmiries shall vote for a separate Kashmir country.
The psychology of Kashmiries is now established when a piece of land which is lying un-utilized had been allotted to Amar Nath shrine Board by the government. This piece of land had been allotted to the Board so that they could construct temporary shelters for the devotees. This piece of land had already been utilised as such since long, but now the people of Kashmir and specially the political parties are not willing to cooperate with the state and they started agitating on the subject. Now they are claiming that the state is trying to bring Hindus to this area and thus in due course they shall be turning this state a non-Muslim state. The people who want a separate Kashmir have got only one point with them that they are a Mohamdan Majority state and therefore, one day they shall get independence and they shall be having a separate country. They are doubting the integrity of the state and they fear that the state is trying to turn this state into a non-Muslim-Majority state. And all the political parties established in Kashmir have joined the separatists and they are also asking the state to withdraw the order and there are chances that the state shall withdraw the order in due course.
What the state did and what the people are doing are points for consideration. Whether such courses are acceptable in a country like India who has declared itself as a secular state and we have adopted the concept of no discrimination on the basis of religions. When we are Indians first, the controversy which has taken birth in Kashmir shall give us new directions. If the state withdraws its order and does not allot the land to the Shrine Board, then it means they also accept that the Kashmir is a Muslim Majority state and even the state is not allowed to convert this state into a non-Muslim majority state. The present situation and decision on this point shall decide the future course of events in Kashmir. We are a secular state and therefore, we should not come down under such pressures because once we accept such a pressure, then in all other states we shall be facing such situations. In some states the Hindus shall be coming out with such demands and they shall be demanding that all Muslim shrines be demolished and transferred to other Muslim majority states.
This Amar Nath shrine had been located by a Muslim and therefore, the Muslims of Kashmir should help the Hindus to keep this shrine busy and that is possible only when the devotees are given due shelter and accommodation. The Hindus shall not be constructing pacca accommodations, but they should be allowed to construct katcha accommodation so that the transit system could be established in a right manner. The present Muslim psychology shall not help Muslims and they shall be loser in the near future. The Muslims of Kashmir should have some sympathy for the Muslims living in other parts of India and they should withdraw this agitation. India is a secular country and every one of us must try to keep this country a secular state and the Muslims of Kashmir should not raise objections that if some structures are raised, they shall be losing their Majority status in Kashmir. The people all over the world must come forward and give right direction tot he people of Kashmir who have initiated the present agitation.
