[Reader-list] Disintegrated Kashmiri pandits unite for homeland

[Inder Salim]

it is tragic, but i feel it

any migration, forced or otherwise, creates a nostaliga, and a
genunine desire to go back to that land which once occupied the mind ,
the life.......

but with time, everything changes, the people change, lanes and roads
change, everything changes...

i remember, Aga Shahid Ali, who wrote wonderful poems on his Kashmiri
past.... living in America, if alive,  i doubt, if he would have
preferred to live in kashmir again.... not even Delhi, where he lived
a for a while, and has a deep nostalgia for that... but he transformed
his nostalgia into something which people back in kashmir and
elsewhere, feel what it means to think about past.


but actually living in kashmir,....he would be bored, i am sure

love
is
