💨 Abstract

In the Jammu and Kashmir elections, the Baridar community, custodians of the Vaishno Devi shrine, are challenging the BJP in the newly created Shri Mata Vaishno Devi assembly constituency. The community, consisting of Brahmins and Rajputs, were forcibly removed from the temple's management in 1986, leading to decades of resentment.
