[rashneek kher]

The simmers of the communal riots had just died away in Kashmir in 1986,
when the then Union Minister of Human Resources SB Chavan came visiting the
valley in connection with a wildlife conservation project. It was a project
involving the Kashmiri Hangul (a species of deer), which had been declared
as endangered species. As Chavan met people, a man appeared from behind and
shot a question at him: "So Mr. Minister, you are very interested in saving
the animal?" Chavan looked at the man and replied in affirmative. "But what
about the other endangered species of this land?" the man said. "Which
endangered species?" asked Chavan. "Kashmiri Pandits", replied the man,
before disappearing in the crowd.
