A friend forwarded me a post on X by Ahmad Ali Fayyaz, a journalist, about the ambiguous attitude of Kashmiris towards Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah.  Without taking sides, Fayyaz juxtaposes the emotional sendoff Kashmiris gave him on his passing in 1982 with the vilification he has been subjected to subsequently. He then poses the charge of ‘treachery’ laid against Sheikh Abdullah in recent times, without expressing an opinion, but contrasting the charge with the reality of the grief at his passing. Traitor, or gaddaris a term I have often heard Kashmiris use with reference to the Sheikh.
