Kashmiri Pandits displacement and security concerns

Overview

Displaced Kashmiri Pandits have raised concerns regarding both political exploitation and physical security. In the Jagti township and surrounding camps, residents have accused various political parties of using their plight for election manifestos without delivering long-term solutions. Describing themselves as “political orphans” and the “new untouchables,” community members have reported deteriorating infrastructure and political disenfranchisement, noting that they are often required to vote in Kashmir despite residing elsewhere.

Simultaneously, the community faces ongoing security threats, including the circulation of hit lists containing personal details such as names and addresses. These actions are attributed to terror groups seeking to eliminate Pandit influence in the Kashmir Valley. While some individuals have attempted to resettle in the Valley through a 2008 rehabilitation package, others remain vulnerable to targeted killings and separatist ideologies.
