I wish you and your family a healthy life.At the same time, I welcome your critical decision to join politics.It is said that, politics is the last refuge of scoundrals. But today politics is emerging refuge of intellectuals like you. Your intellectual dynamism will write a new chapter in political arena.The lost credibility of politicswill get rejuvenated through your razor shaped intellect.But as an aspiring politician, you have a great challenge of restoring the credibility of politics in Kashmir.
Political sellouts and compromises have been hallmark of mainstream polity here.This phase of sellouts started right from the begining of 1947.The political leaders, which emerged from time to time only undermined the credibility of democratic institutions in our state.They are responsible for bruised psyche & alienation of masses.They always misled the statecraft for their narrow political ends.
Today the mainstream polity has become a casity in Kashmir. Anyone intending to join it is labelled as corrobrator.It is all because of inability of mainstream politicians to heal the bruised psyche of Kashmiris.
Mainstream polity was never able to perculate down the pshyche of masses.The politics of accomodation and reconcilation has taken a back seat. Electoral polity has become a corporate enterprises,where there is bargaining of political shares.
As an aspiring politician, you have to bridge the gap & void.You have to restore the lost glory & credibilty of politics.The most dominating challenge before you will be to emerge as mainstream politician before the masses.You have to reassure the bruised psyche of your political vision. Your political vision will redirect the course of electoral polity of the state.The aspirational section of masses is pinning great hopes on your calibre & competence as a politician.You have to integrate young kashmiri students into indian mainland, where they are recognized as a threat.You have to become a champoin of grand negotiation and reconcilation with indian mainstream.Your political vision is expected to make our Jammu and Kashmir a model state in respect of development and prosperity.
At the end, I wish you a happy & healthy political life ahead.
