Sitting in the living room of her Peddar Road apartment, Nidhi Sharma, daughter of late Girdhari Lal Dogra, the longest serving finance minister of Jammu and Kashmir, is furiously scrolling through her phone. She wants to show us a video that a news channel recently aired, featuring her father.

"A friend forwarded it to me. I had no idea," she laughs, her green eyes glinting. The clip has already gone viral in the community. To Sharma, this hardly comes as a surprise. "In Mumbai, we are close-knit. And, because my father devoted his life to public service, they have immense respect for him," she adds. Her words ring true. In 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing the audience during GL Dogra's birth centenary described the politician as a "legend". Over 2,000 km away from J&K, the city's Dogras are ensuring that the leader's vision not just binds the community together, but also guides their actions.
