A Generation That Has Moved Beyond Old Politics
When a Member of Parliament states, “one lakh people have died let us live,” it is not rhetoric. It is a structural observation. Engineer Rashid’s recent address did not dwell in emotion. It outlined a reality. Pakistan’s role was acknowledged. India’s security gains were recognised. But a central question remained: within what political framework is normalcy being built, and who is being
consulted. This is not a political argument. It is an administrative concern. Youth unemployment in Jammu and Kashmir, estimated above 20 percent, is not merely an economic issue. It carries long-term implications for stability. Experiences from regions such as Nagaland and Assam show that security measures alone do not sustain peace. Parallel political engagement is essential. The region’s younger generation has already
signalled a shift. High literacy, digital access, and broader exposure have reduced the influence of older narratives. Electoral outcomes in recent years reflect preference, not protest. The response does not require new frameworks. It requires structured dialogue, targeted investment in human capital, and recognition that this generation is pragmatic. A future delayed indefinitely does not remain delayed. It moves elsewhere.
