Saeb Lal was 40 years old when he left his home at Saraibala in Srinagar in the dead of the night to migrate to Delhi after militancy erupted in the valley in 1990. Mr Lal has now returned to the valley with his wife Rama after 26 years. Like lakhs of displaced Pandits, he no longer owns house here. But this week, the house of Nazir Mattoo, a small-time shopkeeper is their temporary home. Like Mr Lal, around 50 Pandits from 15 families have arrived here to live with Muslim families.
