Kashmir has always been a land of love, and people of different religions live together as a family. For centuries, Muslims and Kashmir Hindu have shared everything from food, holidays and happiness. But due to unfortunate events, many Kashmiri Hindus had to leave their homes. That was a painful time for everyone, and even today, Kashmir feels incomplete without them. The streets, markets and villages miss their presence. The elderly still remember their Hindu neighbors and friends. They talk about how wonderful life is when everyone is together. The bond between Hindus and Muslims is strong and there is no hatred. But now things have changed and it is time to bring back the lost unity.
Islam teaches us love, justice and kindness. This means that as Muslims, it is our duty to welcome our Hindu brothers and sisters back with open hearts. Kashmir is their home too, and no one should feel like an outsider in their own land. They should come back without fear, and we must ensure that they feel safe and dignified.
Kashmir has always been a place of peace and should be maintained. Hate and division only cause pain. But now we have the opportunity to cure the wounds of the past. If we unite again, Kashmir will be as strong and beautiful as before.
Now is the time to forget the past and think about the future. If Kashmiri Hindus return, it will bring happiness to both communities. Kashmir belongs to anyone who likes it. We must show the world that we can live together again in peace, love and brotherhood. We open our hearts to them, because Kashmir is not complete without our lost families.
To bring back Kashmiri Hindus, the government needs to roll out a fair and simple policy that will make their return easy and comfortable. Many of them have sold their land, so the government should support them by building new homes and communities where they can settle. Financial aid must be granted so that they can buy land or houses at fair prices. The government can also introduce policies where they obtain subsidies on home purchases or tax benefits for resettlement.
Apart from housing, special training programs can be launched to help them learn new skills and find employment easily. Those who want to start businesses should get easy loans and financial aid so they can become independent.
Education is another important area. Schools and colleges should be established in the areas where they return so that their children can continue their studies without any problems. Scholarships and free education programs should be introduced to encourage families to return. Quality hospitals and health centers should also be provided so that they do not face medical problems.
