Some missions without tasting heady success can make an impact. BJP's Mission 44 ultimately remained a dream, but reality still handed the saffron party a substantial 25 seats. A number fat enough to give the party a not-so-slim chance to play a crucial role in Kashmir.
Will the New BJP take this election-thrown opportunity to bring Kashmir and its despairing people closer to India or will it crank up polarising engines further and run its divisive machine full throttle in a forlorn place that hasn't seen any attempt to build infrastructure for years?
All it has seen, in spades, are the army and paramilitary forces, who are present with their gleaming guns in every nook and cranny of Kashmir. And it has seen, in the eyes of forsaken Kashmiris, despondency and death of hope and ambition.
Modi, in his first political speech in Srinagar, promised to ameliorate the pain and suffering of the Valley. He was speaking from a raised platform, but on ground the BJP's strategists were trying their damnedest best to split the Muslim vote in order to gain a toehold in the Valley.
Although the grand plans of saffron commissars to make inroads have been scuppered by the Kashmiris, Modi still, with 25 under his belt, can come good on his word.
Kashmir was always polarised, but the new fault lines that have opened up between the various regions of the state after the fractious verdict should be taken as a precursor of more torment and sorrow. Left unaddressed, these gaps can lead to more bitterness and discord.
As new fountains of rabid and crazed Hindutva sprout everywhere, the onus is on Modi-Shah to protect Kashmir from these hate spouts. Kashmiris, far away, will go farther away if ..
The Prime Minister has been making frequent visits to the Valley and he would surely have understood how far it has drifted from the country. Modi, supposedly decisive and strong, should try and control this sense of drift.
For this, apart from the jetting in to the Valley again and again, he has to make sure his trumpeted bandwagon of growth reaches Kashmir fast, with drums and shehnai and a chorus of players who are tuned to the achy aspirations of Kashmiris.
