Abstract
The rise of militancy in the Valley of Kashmir and its adjoining areas since 1988 led to politico-ethnic divide between the two major communities inhabiting the Valley. It’s
immediate and a major consequence has been the migration of more than 55,000 families, which mostly comprised of minority Kashmiri Pundits to Jammu and other
parts of the country. Out to these migrant families some 21,000 are living outside J&K State while around 34,000 have sought shelter in Jammu division. This is
perhaps the greatest displacement of persons in the history of India after its partition in 1947. (Kaul, 2005) For Kashmiri Migrant Community, the post migration period inflicted social and
cultural disintegration as well as economic distress. Those who were little well-off, managed to establish themselves in Jammu and other regions but lesser fortunate
particularly the people from rural areas were left to survive in the Migrant Camps withering inhospitable conditions.
