It's a testament of our people's resilience, spirit and a beacon of hope for the rest of the world grappling with communal strife. Mahatma Gandhi had also seen a ray of hope in the spirit of inclusivity and acceptance deeply ingrained in the cultural moorings of Kashmiris. The need of the hour is to protect it.
