This is one more heart-wrenching personal account of the predicament of the Kashmiri Pandits uprooted from their native lands.  The media reports in the past few decades have been flowing into the outside world incessantly, and there seems to be no respite for the outrageous acts committed on these innocent men and women—children and the old people. There seems to be virtually no law-enforcing agencies in Kashmir, and the State is in the grip of both religious zealots and other unruly militant offshoots. It is the law of the jungle that forces them to choose between bullets and their homeland, their sweet homes, their temples, their birthplace, their beautiful memories of a lifetime. How can such events happen to people of this land? Is there an unseen hand that is working against these people? It is time the Centre and State governments work in unison to bring lasting peace to this beautiful land and its faultless inhabitants. The charm is gone that Kashmir ever wore.
