Summary
Kashmir is a land of remarkable beauty, blessed by nature with breath-taking. The scenery and a glorious climate, a fertile, wellwatered spot surrounded by high mountains, have been described with justification of heaven on earth, a produce-rich oasis, an area not noted for its abundance.[1]. Due to the administration’s failure, many Kashmiri Pandits migrated to India and other parts of India.[3] questions arise about the consequences that forced only a single minority to migrate and how the ideology of Kashmiriyat proved unsuccessful. Further to understand Kashmiri Pandits’ displacement, there is a need to discuss the various aspects of political turmoil, Kashmiriyat, insurgency and counter-insurgency, and the state’s failure. The political disorder in the Kashmir valley led to the displacement of the minority community (Pandits). Weak democratic fabric and the majority-minority dynamics are among the reasons responsible for the expulsion of around 3 lac persons from the Valley in 1989-1991. The question of Pandit displacement is very much vibrant in the discourses on contemporary self-determination
