Different Religion Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Paradise still exists in Kashmir
And elsewhere too
But for the lust of few
It has lost its charm and we can see it and view

Who are outsiders?
Indian citizen can’t settle here
Even local Kashmiri Pundits* are forced to flee
Where is paradise free?

Nearby hostile country sends mercenaries
It has only added miseries
Where is love for local?
Even disarmed uniform men are killed on arrival

Valley was saved from marauders
By army who pushed them across border
Large territory still remains under occupation
There is love lost relation

Why do local give refuge to armed terrorists?
Who hide in forest!
And strike at innocent people
Do we call it just struggle?

India is country of different religion
It is only country in region
Where religion is professed and practiced at will
Flag of hostile country is never raised to reveal their allegiance

If we want to create bad blood
Its impact shall be felt in neighborhood too
Poor shall be divested of their food
The real situation must be understood

No country shall ever opt for disintegration
It is against the principle of unison
The state has opted for merger by rules
As done by other states as matter of principle
