The Kashmir Files

About fifteen years ago, one of my friends from Varanasi who has now become the face of “Qtiyapa” was talking to someone about this crime. He described the event as horrendous where every Kashmiri Pandit women were raped along with mass killing and exodus of Kashmiri Pandits. May be his description was exaggerated, but it was evident that something big had happened there. He has never attended RSS shakha. Even in RSS shakha, this was not the topic of discussion, yet it was discussed about the work of RSS among the common man in remote parts of Kashmir amid threat of life. This movie has become now centre for talk for everyone. There are many who are sponsoring for others so that maximum people may get chance to watch the movie in theatre. I also watched the movie. The movie was revolving around violence, religion, politics, state machinery and the pathetic condition of Kashmiris. But there are two three things which was very appealing for me, though I always believe that unity of community is essential for safety of future generation when you are living with aggressive groups in your neighbourhood. Amid these situations, it was stressed that study is important. Even the child was full of fear, he was encouraged to attend the class and learn things. In college, violence is justified, but this movie also tells that the path of violence is not acceptable. In college, one should focus on study and think how to bring peace keeping the interest if nation ahead.
