Today, I experienced something that left me deeply saddened.
After checking into a hotel in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, I was later (After an hour) asked to leave because of concerns linked to my Kashmiri identity.
The owner was courteous & candid. He acknowledged that the decision was unfair and hurtful, but said he was following instructions. I appreciated his honesty and left without any confrontation.
I am not sharing this to seek sympathy or assign blame. I share it because such moments remind us that while laws can unite a nation, trust and understanding take longer to build.
For decades, countless Kashmiris have worked to strengthen the bonds between Jammu & Kashmir and the rest of India. Most Indians have welcomed us with warmth and respect. Yet incidents like this show that stereotypes and apprehensions persist.
My faith in India and its people remains unshaken. I hope we continue moving toward a future where no citizen is judged by their region, faith, or identity, but by their character and conduct.
That is the India we must strive for.

Welcome to Mumbai’s newest flyover worth ₹248 crore. At 750 metres of road, that’s ₹33 lakh a metre.
And it opened this week full of potholes.
The flyover is named after the iconic Mrinal Tai Gore, who spent her whole life fighting so ordinary Mumbaikars got a life of dignity.
After seven years, three cost revisions, and a daily penalty on the contractor - this is all they could come up with to honour her?
But kya karein. This is the standard now under the triple-engine sarkar. Cut the ribbon. Click the photo. Leave the potholes for us. Bajao taali.
As soon as there was an LPG price hike by 29 rupees. Toolkit got activated. Both, Sarkaari Reporters and BJP IT cell started comparing the LPG prices in Pakistan.
Because they know, that's the only way to calm the Indian public.
We discovered 5.9 million tonnes of lithium in J&K in 2023. Three years later: zero extraction. Not a single kilogram mined.
Meanwhile we imported $3.2 billion worth of lithium-ion cells from China last year.
Discovery without extraction is just geology homework.
Ironically, Shivaji tortured a Jewish merchant in an attempt to loot rubies and other riches from him.
François Bernier (1620-1688), a French traveller to India, wrote:
"The pertinacity of a Jew, a native of Constantinople, astonished everybody. Seva-Gi knew that he was in possession of most valuable rubies, which he intended to sell to Aureng-Zebe; but he persevered in stoutly denying the fact, although three times placed on his knees to receive the stroke of a sword flourished over his head. This conduct was worthy of a Jew, whose love of money generally exceeds his love of life."
🚨🚨Just in case you missed it. Here is Benjamin Netanyahu in his own words, thanking Congress for implementing “his plan” to take over the US military and intelligence services..🚨🚨
RAJESH MEHTA belongs to India's 5 million UPPER CASTE JAIN community, same religion & caste to which Gautam Adani also belongs.
