I’m a proud Kashmiri Pandit, and every time someone tells me, “Why don’t you move back to Kashmir? Everything’s fine now,” I pause. Because I know deep down — things are not fine.
The recent Pahalgam incident broke my heart again. A peaceful area, known for its beauty, became the scene of yet another attack. And once again, Hindus were targeted. The same old fear returned. People were injured. Families were scared. And just like always, it didn’t make big headlines, but the pain was real for us.
People say, “It’s safe now. Tourism is back. The army is in control.” But that’s only half the truth. The other half is this: there is still hatred, threats, and deep fear for people like us. We don’t want revenge — we want justice. We want peace. We want to stop pretending that everything is okay when it clearly isn’t.
I get messages all the time that “Why aren’t you returning to your roots?” The answer is simple. Because we don’t feel safe. Because being Hindu in Kashmir still feels like a risk. This incident proves that again. It’s not just about one attack. It’s about the message it sends: that even after all these years, the fear hasn’t gone away.
We need real action now. Not more silence. Not more fake peace. Not more photo-ops. Real justice. Real protection. Real changes. Maybe it’s even time to talk seriously about stopping Kashmir tourism until safety is guaranteed for all. Why should we welcome the world into a place where we ourselves still don’t feel safe?
To every Kashmiri Pandit out there carrying pain silently, I see you. I feel you. We are not alone, and we should not stay silent. Enough is enough.
