Its been a strange sort fo journey, principled and fraught. We have always raised the issue of the minority within the minority be it women or the Pandits in the Valley. For this there was shunning from one camp and a scathing othering from the other #KPBetrayed #PanditsBetrayed
2/Its the rational space that has been lost. During our rigorous campaign 4 Prevention of Communal Violence Bill 2004-2014 we argued tht it was needed in d Valley, in all distsof the Country @ACLU @PUCLindia
3/So that the khakhi shirts and their armed friend in law enforcement could be kept in check just as the majority among the minority allowed dissent. I recall one Public lecture at the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation and when I argued for the Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley,
4/When I spoke to theatre person MK Raina in a bautiful conversation, I was looked at askance by the Muslim far right and told that's not a minority issue. Who decides?

5/ In today's India where space for any dissent, 4 any protest for any criticism of a brutal regime is being crushed its would be good to recall the steps by which the middle ground has been snatched away. Now there's blood-gore. Jails are full, Law Enforcement is bloodthirsty
6/and unaccountable and a mafia nexus rules. Lives are being snatched away, our Himalayas and Forests sold to the highest bidder. What a way we have fallen and so fast. @Asad_Ashraf88 @seemay
