A new generation in Kashmir has grown up in the long shadow of Pandits' exodus in 1990. And both Muslims and Hindus have gained memories from a generation that is slowly losing them.
Vishal Bhardwaj broke new ground with 'Haider' as it was maybe first time mainstream cinema creatively locked horns with Kashmir's internal conflict & explored the 'other' side.
This year, Jawan and The Kerala Story both won National Awards. The irony was impossible to miss. One critiqued the system, the other endorsed its narratives. The dichotomy says more about India’s cultural schizophrenia than any film review ever could.
New CPI series will take 2024 as base year, will provide more accurate measure of inflation, spending on digital services. Expected to enhance representation and reliability, says Saurabh Garg.
The agreement, signed after meeting between Rajnath and US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on sidelines of ADMM-Plus in Kuala Lumpur, aims to deepen bilateral ties in the critical sector.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
How about when they (pandits) were enjoying and ruling over us during the time of the Maharajah Hari Singh. We were suffering. They were so corrupt, that they would take most of the compensation if a forced labourer died. Also, only 210 pandits were killed. The reason they were killed was because they were intelligence offers, who betrayed their own homeland. And I don’t blame the rest of the pandits. The “exodus” was when India claimed that they would be killed if they remained and they would be bought back in 3 months. It has been 30 years and they haven’t come back. India cheated them. And when they left, they kept the governor as Jagganath, and massacres occured. If we combine the casualties of only Gawakadal massacre, Handwara massacre, Zakoora and Tengpora massacre (160+33+21) then it exceeds the casualties of pandits, not to mention all the innocent people killed by the army, the “dissapeared”, the torture (so widespread 1 in 3 kashmiri muslims have experienced it), and the countless rapes.
This article is a story of sordid mindset besetted with prejudged notions.
Clinically removing references of actually what caused the Kashmiri Hindu genocide, cleansing ending with mass exodus.
Present habitants of Kashmir ignoring what they and their ancestors did in identifying, marking Hindu families for rape murder mass killing all the while raising jihad and imposing sharia in a secular country like India.
Radical Islam and jihad is at doorstep now. This happened in Mooplah, in direct action Calcutta , Kashmir the refined version of which you are seeing in AMU, JMI and Shaheen Bagh.
We are in such times even neighbour donot come to our rescue, when we are in distress,leve alone the Government. Every one has to battle on his own,by asserting himself, come what may for his survival. When such courage is shown, people in side lines will join,then it becomes a force to be reckoned with. Let the Pandits assert.

Some of the articles on this site seem very genuine, but others like this are biased and no different from an India Today or a Times of India article !
Come on Ms Bamzai, you wrote a full article on the exodus not even once mentioning the complete apathy and even collusion of the then state apparatus in this exodus.
And yeah, mentioned testimonies of Mr Pandita and even bigots like Vivek Agnihotri but had no space for dissenting opinions like those expressed by Ms Nitasha Kaul, a Pandit in exile !
Amicable solution is only possible through a dialogue between all Kashmiris, and only after the Pandit community understands how their suffering has been turned by their leaders into a weapon of garnering votes.
CAA was the first step towards a respectable life for Bengali Hindus, Removal of Article 370 was the first step towards restoring rights of Kashmiri Hindus. The right-wing in India doesn’t play votebank politics. It does what it promised.
Anyways, it seems you are too much into liberal crap to understand the truth and want to offer excuses. Don’t bother replying to me.
Muslims of kashmir are epitome for shamelessness and the ones Barking against CAA are contributing to ungrateful. Karma screws in a deserving way. Be prepared.
As because Hindus are devided among themselves into different casts, every invaders took the advantage of this point by terrorising common people so as to convert to Islam or to be wiped out.
This has to have a typical characteristics of Hindus who are always indifferent about the happening around them. Where as Muslims are very sensitive about anything happening around them.
Because of this fundamental differences between this two communities Hindus are at a loser side than muslims.
Two sentences struck me
–>
“We are part of the same tradition even if our religious identities may differ.”
“The amity, not just between these two communities but others in Kashmir as well, was a shining example for the country.”
–>
Though we repeat this often, the truth is that history and present is shaped by events that are driven not by individuals, but religious ideas.
In Kashmir indisputably.
We actually have no control over peace and amity.
Muslims did this in Pakistan and Bangladesh. they did this in Kashmir. and they will do the same when they become majority in West Bengal and Assam. But Hindus are not allowed to talk about it. This newspaper never raises the question with Bangladeshi ministers why Hindus leave Bangladesh and the Muslims do not leave India.
The blame for the collective amnesia lies squarely with our lefty ecosystem. Consider the editor of The Print, Jyoti Malhotra. In an interview with a guest a while ago (in a video posted on The Print), she said Kashmiri Pandits “left” the valley as if to imply that they left on a whim; she could not get herself to even say that they were driven out. Jyoti Malhotra’s view is symptomatic of the entire lefty media-intelligentia- politics ecosystem that monopolized India until recently and still overwhelmingly dominates it. These people suffer from a pathological refusal to point a finger whenever the perpetrator of a crime is a Muslim – whether it is the religious cleaning in Kashmir or a terror attack elsewhere in India. They even started spreading canards that the Pandits left for no good reason based on a few stray incidents (I am sure you would have seen some mediawallahs parroting this line on the tv in the recent weeks). The entire lefty media ecosystem deserves to be crushed mercilessly for their deliberate falsification of even the contemporary Indian history.
