Bakshi Ghulam Mohammed on Tour
"The relations between Bakshi Ghulam
Mohammed, Prime Minister of Kashmir and his people are
unique in India. The people's familiarity is such that it
can at times be embarrassing, indeed even dangerous.
There are no policemen, no bamboo enclosure, everyone can,
like the beggar woman or the madman, cram nearer the
platform, can indeed climb into it, as many do.
Perhaps the most striking feature of Bakshi Ghulam
Mohammed's relations with his people is even more than his
insistence on complete mixing, on having no guards, on
allowing every village Tom, Dick and Harry to come and
slap him on the back, on letting every woman pull his
sleeve in her anxiety to present her petition.
Touring with the Premier of Kashmir requires a sturdy
constitution and all round athletics, from knowing how to
ride, swim and climb to the art of elbowing one's way out
from an over-enthusiastic concourse of friendly and
overpoweringly persistent welcomers.
His people think nothing of making him walk 5 additional
miles because they want him to see something that is not
on his programme. And Bakshi Ghulam Mohammed has to go,
despite an old fractured leg ; his people will not take
'NO' for an answer. When one remembers that the Prime
Minister of Kashmir tours his parish 3 days a week, for 17
hours a day, one will agree with the little boy who, after
just an afternoon with Bakshi Ghulam Mohammed concluded
"it is terrible to be Prime Minister".
