Above all, as a 1947 refugee from Sindh and as a former Home Minister, Advani has an idea of the incalculable costs of Hindu-Muslim conflict. He must, therefore, know, as do the rest of us, that the real clash in India, and within the subcontinent, is not between Hindus and Muslims, or between Indians and Pakistanis, or between nationalists and traitors, or even between the people of Jammu and the people of Kashmir. Instead, it is between all those (of every or no religion and of every region) who cherish life, with all its vagaries and, therefore, seek to solve problems through peaceful means, and a relatively small but dangerously dedicated number of those (Muslims, Hindus and others) who are willing to kill people, including the innocent and themselves, to achieve a goal. He knows this well. Yet, when he saw a political springboard, he just went for it.
Finally, Advani’s demand for a transfer of land in the Kashmir Valley to the Amarnath Shrine Board is also unwise. Something other than a transfer should be entirely acceptable.
