Zenaira Bakhsh please be assured that no matter how much you keep this fight continuing, we too are ready to not lose Kashmir at any damn cost and after the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits our motivations are on the up to never lose Kashmir from India. Banning or not banning the books will continue. Parties at the center like BJP or Congress will keep coming and going but one thing will forever be constant and that is Kashmir will remain in India and every Kashmiri will remain an Indian forever. If you want to live peacefully you are welcome but any attempt for secession will be met duly. That’s our commitment from the rest of India. We also never forget as Indians how many sacrifices we have made for Kashmir. Just remember this!
To say nothing of the hefty sums from anti-Bharat forces that these authors and the rest of their ilk will continue to write for, and hide behind the moral superiority of “writing for generation with no access to truth.”
No wonder Ms. Bakhsh feels so strongly about the ban on books. But one can safely bet that she did not feel just as strongly about Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses ban. Or even care about Rushdie getting stabbed, and almost dying, because of the fatwah on his book and him.
Ms. Zenaira Bakhsh has always championed the cause of the terrorists and Kashmiri secessionists. Her articles for The Print are watered down for quite obvious reasons. But even a cursory glance at her articles on other platforms (e.g. Coda, etc.) clearly shows where her loyalty lies. Add to it, her absolute disgust and contempt for Modi and BJP.
