Understanding Cultural Oppression and Misogyny through Kashmir

Abstract

Kashmiri Pundit is not just a sect highlighted due to cinematic outburst recently; it’s a long voyage of the residents of heaven on Earth who were born in beauty, brought up in harmony, and bestowed to communal discord and brutal massacre. This piece is to acknowledge their life and traditions rather than discussing the genocide and savagery committed by them. The lifestyle, customs, conventions, cuisines, festivals, and language along with their rich cultural heritage surmounts the much-needed attention since it is an indispensable part of our country and it accounts for our patriotic unity by overshadowing the severance of humanity through different separatist agendas. The real true stories of the women of Kashmir belonging to this sect will be awakening for the contemporary feminist and it will serve as a lifetime biography of the tenacity of womanhood and that gender as a whole. This today is the need of the hour to understand and propagated why this horrific tragedy happened by those who belong to the same state of the same country born out of the real struggle for independence of two hundred years and who ardently believe in “वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम-Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam is a Sanskrit phrase which means "the world is one family”
