Kashmir Dialogues: Interview with Dr. Hina Shafi Bhat, Vice-Chairperson, Khadi Village Industries Board (KVIB)
Interview
By Usanas Foundation
Shahana Joshi: As India steps into another year in a matter of days, there is so much we have to look back on in terms of the strides we have made as a nation and the hopes and dreams we have for the future. And one cannot think of India without taking into account its very crown, the Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, a region that has gone through unconceivable changes throughout its history and an unprecedented one in the past year. The abrogation of article 370 brought on mixed reactions, many of them fuelled by ignorance of ground realities, and in many ways, that is exactly what the valley has been to many Indians as well – an enigma, a place of immense violence and loss of life.

Cutting her teeth
In 2014, Hina Bhat gave up a promising career as a dentist and joined the BJP. The same year, the 36-year-old stood for her first election, in Amira Kadal assembly constituency in Srinagar, and lost.

My Inspiration, My Father
BY DR. HINA SHAFI BHAT
Today I fondly remember the days,
When you held my hand and taught me to succeed in different ways.
You ensured that I work towards getting myself educated,
So that no one can ever conquer my fearless self, nor should I ever have to be vindicated.
To me, you were my inspiration and drive,
Who always pushed me to be independent, confident, knowledgeable and empathetic so that I could thrive.
The wonderful son, incredible brother, loving husband & adorable father that you were,
Makes me remember you dotingly with love & respect and not in despair.
To me, you were my only mentor, friend, philosopher & guide,
And till today, I am being propelled forward with your inspiration towards my goal of serving humanity with pride.
An ode from a daughter who remembers you with love, respect & pride of being your daughter.
On the occasion of the 6th death anniversary of my father Late Mohammed Shafi Bhat, I would like to draw attention to the fact that my role model, my dear father was not only a pious family man
