Then that mulla faggot should’ve killed himself.

Oh and this is old Kashmir you’re talking about, the one before the pakistani invasion also those movies are decades OLD.

Stupid ABCDs with zero knowledge of India have no right to:

1. Touch them
2. Even Talk about them (the movies, that is)

OK, Brainwashed L-E-T beta?

I have nothing more to say, the readers of this blog will now have a better insight of the mentality that you represent.

Other point is that India is far from a perfect democracy it inspires to be. Majority Hindus rulers have blood on their hands, just like White Americans have of Native Indians & Blacks. Unless, majority of educated & progressive Hindus recognize that, real changes will not come. Religious extremism breeds hatred to start with, add caste & tribal system…..and you see ugly part of India. People like Modi (Muslim Riots), Tytler (Sikh Riots) should be in jails, not in power. I am glad to see extremism on decline in many parts of India, including BJP, Shiv Sena’s popularity. After all, it took a Sikh to guide India out of darkness.

Al-beruni: Sorry, common sense & history do not support the fact that average working people woke up one day & start killing, especially against majority rulers. It’s like claiming blacks got together & start killing white folks in Philadelphia. Please post some credible links to support your claims. I am sure international organizations such as Amnesty International, Human Right watch must have documented these atrocities.

Your message perfectly illustrates the double standards of so-called liberals, full of evasion and denial, unwilling to accept that a hindu group can be attacked in india. You also believe that the govt of Jammu and Kashmir is “hindu” whereas in fact it is heavily populated by local people, including muslims.

Not surprisingly, your so-called message of “freedom for indian minorities” ends with a denial of the fact that kashmiri muslims participated in the ethnic cleansing of hindus. This I know from my family members and there are many other eyewitness accounts. But I expected nothing else from a “friend of indian minorities”. Perhaps in your next message you could reference “brahamanical fascism” or “chanakyan mindset” (both ethnic slurs) while pretending to lecture us on freedom.

PAID My point was that from 5% minority in 1980 we now have 0% minority. You are right that the older figures are confusing, but its worth keeping in mind that punjab was explicitly divided between india and pakistan whereas Kashmir was not.

Anyway, the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from the Valley is, of course, a human tragedy. The Kashmiri Muslims have to accept responsibility of this ethnic cleansing. Here is what some Kashmiri Muslims say: (1) The people driving out the Hindus were all Pakistani extremists. (2) The Indian Army did the ethnic cleaning in part to defame to azadi movement. (3) A lot of people left on their own because of the security situation and their Kashmiri Muslim neighbors did not want them to leave etc. (1) – (3) are all bull shit and the average Kashmiri Muslim needs to accept this fact.

RC: Nice to see you are still hanging out here at SM.

Sure. Average Kashmiris are simply enjoying the fruits of the hardwork done by ” misguided Muslin youth, ISI & other religious nuts.”"

Independent filmmakers should make more movies/documentaries about Kashmir, highlighting sufferings on both sides. All Kashmiris have been a pawn between Indian & Pakistani politics.

To al-beruni: no one denies the suffering of Kashmiri pundits & others Hindus that have been misplaced & become refuges in their own country. Their story must also be told.

“The local population and the local state govt conspired to participate in ethnic cleansing”

Please also understand that average Kashmiri Muslims did not conspire or participated in ethnic cleansing. It was a job of misguided Muslin youth, ISI & other religious nuts.

True blue. Just one nitpick, its not 18 years, more like 800-1000 years. That’s how long ethnic cleansing in Kashmir has been going on for yet youn hardly hear outpour of sympathy and rage from average Indians.

The relationships are something like this:

     Kashmiri Hindu : small-sized underdog, struggling against the jackboots of the Kashmir Muslim
     Kashmiri Muslim : a medium-sized underdog struggling against the jackboots of the Indian state, but  an aggressor to the Kashmiri Muslim
     Hindu from other parts of India: Apex predator, but with the fear that this apex predator position may not last

The Kashmiri Muslim is an underdog in one relationship, but an overdog in another. So we need all the stories, both Tariq’s and yours. In fact, we even need the Hindu hardliner’s story.
