1947 Muslim massacre in Jammu

Ironic how the scumbags boast about muslim genocide of Kashmir in 47-48 on indian forums... and here they play the victims..
Genocide of Muslims, Jammu 1947


Kashmir-m_1.jpg


It is one of the least known genocides in modern history. It was carried out with such a precision that it is difficult to find its traces, except in the memories of the survivors, and the tales of horror they passed on to their next generations. Around 500,000 Muslims were killed with military precision. It was such an operation that language lacks words to express this offence of demolition of human being.

Though the targeted killing had already started in Jammu around mid July 1947, the operation got a fillip immediately after a fleeing Maharaja Hari Singh and his wife reached Jammu on 26 October 1947. An organised carnage was orchestrated to kill Muslims, wherever found or spotted in Jammu.

British daily The London Times quoting its special correspondent in India stated that the Maharaja, under his own supervision, got assassinated 2,37,000 Muslims, using military forces in the Jammu area. The editor of Statesman, Ian Stephen, in his book Horned Moon writes that till the end of autumn 1947, more than 200,000 Muslims were murdered in one go. Horace Alexander wrote in the Spectator (16 January 1948) that the killings had “the tacit consent of State authority” and put the figure at 2,00,000.

The Hindu Dogra ruler’s main aim was to change the demographic composition of the region by eliminating the Muslim population. Such was the intensity of carnage that in Jammu province about 123 villages were ‘completely depopulated’. Kathua district ‘lost’ almost fifty per cent of its Muslim population. Thousands of Gujars were massacred in mohalla Ramnagar. Village Raipur, within Jammu cantonment area was completely burnt down. The Dogra State troops were at the forefront of attacks on Muslims. The State authorities were also issuing arms not only to local volunteer organizations such as the RSS, but also to those in surrounding East Punjab districts such as Gurdaspur.


The State administration had not only demobilised a large number of Muslim soldiers serving in the state army, but Muslim police officers had also been sent home. In the Jammu city, the Muslim military were disarmed and the Jammu cantonment Muslim Brigadier replaced by a Hindu Dogra officer. Muslims seeking refuge in police stations and Deputy Commissioners’ offices were openly handed over to RSS beasts by the Dogra officers themselves.

Meanwhile, Maharaja of Patiala was not only supplying weapons but also a Brigade of Patiala State troops were operating in Jammu and Kashmir, without whose help and assistance, the objective could not have been achieved with such precision. The Times of London reported the events in Jammu with such a front page headlines: “Elimination of Muslims from Jammu”, and pointed out that Maharaja Hari Singh was “in person commanding all the forces” which were ethnically cleansing the Muslims.

That there was a design to change the demographics is evidenced by another well-reported incident. Prime Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Mehr Chand Mahajan, upon arrival in Jammu told a delegation of Hindus, which met him in the Palace, that now when the power was being transferred to the people they should better demand parity. When one of the delegation members wanted to know how that was possible, Mahajan, pointing to the Ramnagar natural reserve below, where Muslim corpses were still lying said, “the population ratio too can change” like that (“Elimination of Muslims from Jammu” II, The Times, London, 10 August 1948, page 5. See also Ved Bhasin’s interview to Kashmir Life).


Both documentary and oral sources suggest that the crime committed on the Muslims was nothing less than an organized holocaust. Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah, who was appointed “Chief Emergency Administrator” on 30 October 1947 could not prevent the carnage. He writes in his autobiography Atish-e-Chinar (page 312) that the carnage got impetus after the arrival of Union Home Minster Sardar Patel, Union Defence Minster Baldev Singh along with the Maharaja of Patiala, a person known for his anti-Muslim bias, in Jammu. The trio met various Hindu organizations and delegations, after which the massacre attained a great momentum. Hindu fanatics, aided and abetted by government forces, started burning down village after village inhabited by Muslims. Women were raped at will. Weapons were distributed freely to marauders from the Kachi Chawni house of Pandith Prem Nath Dogra and motivated by Balraj Madhok.

On 6 November surviving Muslims were told to assemble in an open ground, to be sent to Pakistan, herded in trucks like cattle and killed mercilessly with machine gun fire between the Digiana and Samba belt. Women were abducted and raped. Even the daughter of the legendary Chaudhary Ghulam Abbas was not spared. Many women preferred death than falling prey to the cruel beasts who wouldn’t tire calling themselves as secular people.

On the ground, the killing operations were organized, directed and supervised by Maharani Tara Devi in league with her debauch Guru Sat Dev and the governor of Jammu, Chet Ram Chopra. At the politico-administrative level, Sheikh puts the blame solely on the Dogra ruler Hari Singh and Prime Minster Mahajan. At one point of time, Sheikh had even thought of initiating action against the duo for crimes against humanity (Atish-e-Chinar, page 331). But why didn’t he translate his thoughts into action remains shrouded in mystery. Did he surrender this right before Sardar Patel as quid pro quo for prime ministership, which came his way in March 1948? As is generally known, the government of India and the Dogra ruler were only interested in conceding him a limited role in a “Mysore type of government”. But later this plan was changed and Sheikh was offered full-fledged prime ministership. Or was it a result of coercive pressure applied by Patel on Abdullah to imprison his close relative caught red-handed of theft of valuable jewellery in Maharaja of Indore’s (known as Holkars) palace where he was employed?

The other aspect of the carnage was appropriation of properties of Muslims. The Muslim names were immediately erased to conform to new ownership. For instance Urdu Bazar became Rajinder Bazar and Islamia School became Hari Singh High School to conform to the new “ownership”. Almost 95 percent of left-over properties, which should have in the normal course been taken over by the State government were allowed appropriated by looters and rioters (Daily Telegraph of London dated 12 January 1948).

These properties continue to be under the illegal occupation of looters and their descendants and it is precisely for this reason that the Resettlement Bill faces a stiff opposition in Jammu fearing vacation of such properties under a due process of law. Even Indira Gandhi expressed such fears in Jammu in her 1983 election campaign.

Another incident needs a mention here. When Hindu refugees from Muzaffarabad and surrounding areas reaching Kashmir desired to be sent to Jammu or Punjab, local Muslims motivated Kashmiri tongawallas (horse-cart drivers) to transport them to Jammu against heavy odds. Initially 22 tongawallas were hired. They were later joined by many others from the Khannabal-Qazigund rural belt. On return all these poor tongawallas numbering around 90 were massacred near Nagrota. Their only fault was that they made Hindu refugees to reach their destinations safely. What makes this holocaust unique is the complicity of State on the one hand and the exemplary treatment of Kashmiri Muslims to its minorities on the other hand, given the grave provocation of Jammu genocide. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was so disgusted with the carnage that on two occasions (27 November and 25 December, 1947), he made mention of it in following words:

“The Hindus and Sikhs of Jammu and those who had gone there from outside (referring to RSS goons from Gurdaspur and surrounding areas) killed Muslims there. Their women have been dishonored. This has not been fully reported in the newspapers. The Maharaja of Kashmir is responsible for what has happened there” (Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi, volume 90, page 115 and 298).


It is no wonder, then, that when Gandhi was killed by an RSS supported Hindu fanatic, sweets were distributed throughout Jammu in special thalis supplied from the Maharaja’s Palace.

But there have been some valiant efforts on the part of a few Hindus also who tried to save the caged Muslims in Jammu those days. The names of Krishen Dev Sethi, Ved Bhasin etc. top that list. But such instances have been few and far.
The freedom struggle was started in year 1832 when local Poonchian started rebellion against Maharaja Gulab due to his illegal occupation of independent state Poonch, Kishtwar and GB which was badly crushed by superior forces of Ranjit Singh, his commander Gulab and some traitors among our ranks. Thousands women and children were killed with local freedom fighters and we became slaves. We were struggling since long but in year 1947 we created a war council (Azad Kashmir Regular Forces know AK regiment) to answer the brutalities of Tyrant and after long struggle we freed our land which was later acceded to Pakistan.
Indians every time relate freedom of GB and AJK with due to the involvement of Tribal people and Pakistan Army. This is completely wrong we liberated our region without external help, yes tribal came but only to save muslims of Kashmir valley Srinagar by the hands of RSS and Indian army.
 
The image is that of the famine of Kolkata. Jammu folks were not so famished that time. Bengal on the other hand had many problems.

The killing fields of Jammu: How Muslims become a minority in the region
Official records have tried their utmost to suppress the details of a Muslim massacre.

What was the death toll in the killing fields of Jammu? There are no official figures, so one has to go by reports in the British press of that period. Horace Alexander’s article on 16 January 1948 in The Spectator is much quoted; he put the number killed at 200,000.

To quote a 10 August 1948 report published in The Times, London: “2,37,000 Muslims were systematically exterminated – unless they escaped to Pakistan along the border – by the forces of the Dogra State headed by the Maharaja in person and aided by Hindus and Sikhs. This happened in October 1947, five days before the Pathan invasion and nine days before the Maharaja’s accession to india.” Reportedly, as a result of the massacre/migration, Muslims who were a majority (61 per cent) in the Jammu region became a minority.

Mountbatten was in control in Delhi and had news of the genocide of Muslims in Jammu filtered out of the media. Sadly, there has been precious little discussion in India about this horrible phase of history.
Maharaja Hari Singh’s involvement, with the support of the RSS, is evident from a letter Jawaharlal Nehru wrote to Vallabhbhai Patel on 17 April 1949 (quoted in Frontline magazine):

In this (intelligence) report, among other things, a reference was made to a growing Hindu agitation in Jammu province for what is called a zonal plebiscite. This idea is based on the belief that a plebiscite for the whole of Kashmir is bound to be lost and, therefore, let us save Jammu at least. You will perhaps remember that some proposal of this kind was put forward by the Maharaja some months back. it seems to me that this kind of propaganda is very harmful, indeed, for us. Whatever may happen in the future, I do not think Jammu province is running away from us. If we want Jammu province by itself and are prepared to make a present of the rest of the State to Pakistan, I have no doubt we could clinch the issue in a few days. The prize we are fighting for is the valley of Kashmir. [This is what Nehru had dug in his heels for. The consequences are for all to see to this day.]

This propaganda for a zonal plebiscite is going on in Jammu, in Delhi and elsewhere. It is carried on by what is known as the Jammu Praja Parishad. Our intelligence officer reported that this Praja Parishad is financed by the Maharaja. Further, that the large sums collected for the Dharmarth Fund, which are controlled by the Maharaja, are being spent in propaganda for him.


The lid on these massacres was lifted by Ved Bhasin and a few journalists of that time. But like the collective silence over the pogrom in Hyderabad, the holocaust in Jammu has been a story hidden from public view by the machinations of the very people who covertly allowed the massacres to take place. These included many in the national leadership of the Congress party at the time. The events of Hyderabad and Jammu and Kashmir reveal the emergence in New Delhi of an establishment which was indifferent to Indian Muslims.

Consider the testimony of journalist Ved Bhasin. Here I am again quoting from his paper presented at the Jammu University in 2003.

Communal tension was building up in Jammu soon after the announcement of the Mountbatten plan with the Hindu Sabha, RSS and the Muslim Conference trying to incite communal passions. Tension increased with a large number of Hindus and Sikhs migrating to the State from Punjab and NWFP and even from areas now under Pakistan’s control. Trouble was brewing in Poonch, where a popular non-communal agitation was launched after the Maharaja’s administration took over the erstwhile jagir under its direct control and imposed some taxes. The mishandling of this agitation and use of brutal force by the Maharaja’s administration inflamed the passions, turning this non-communal struggle into a communal strife.

The Maharaja’s administration had not only asked all Muslims to surrender their arms but also demobilised a large number of Muslim soldiers in the Dogra army and the Muslim police officers, whose loyalty it suspected. The Maharaja’s visit to Bhimber was followed by large-scale killings.

Bhasin reports the large-scale killing of Muslims in Udhampur district, particularly in Udhampur proper, Chenani, Ramnagar and Reasi areas. Even in Bhaderwah (about 150 kilometres from Udhampur), a number of Muslims were victims of communal marauders. According to Bhasin, the RSS played a key role in these killings, aided by armed Sikh refugees “who even paraded the Jammu streets with their naked swords”. Some of those who led the riots in Udhampur and Bhaderwah later joined the National Conference and some even served as ministers. There were reports of Muslims massacred in Chhamb, Deva Batala, Manawsar and other parts of Akhnoor, with several of them fleeing to the other side or moving to Jammu. In Kathua district too there was the large-scale killing of Muslims and reports of women being raped and abducted.

As for the attitude of the state, Bhasin alleges that instead of preventing these communal killings and fostering an atmosphere of peace, “the Maharaja’s administration helped and even armed the communal marauders”. He goes on to say that many Muslims living outside Muslim-dominated areas were brutally killed by the rioters who moved freely in vehicles with arms and ammunition even when the city was officially under curfew. “The curfew it appeared was meant only to check the movement of Muslims,” he says.
Terrible carnage took place later when the Muslims in Talab Khatikan area were asked to surrender.

They were shifted to the police lines at Jogi gate, where now Delhi Public School is situated. Instead of providing them security, the administration encouraged them to go to Pakistan for safety. The first batch of several thousands of these Muslims were loaded in about sixty lorries to take them to Sialkot. Unaware of what is going to happen to them these families boarded the buses. The vehicles were escorted by troops. But when they reached near Chattha on Jammu-Sialkot road, in the outskirts of the city, a large number of armed RSS men and Sikh refugees were positioned there.

They were pulled out of the vehicles and killed mercilessly with the soldiers either joining [in] or looking [on] as idle spectators. The news about the massacre was kept a closely guarded secret. next day another batch of these Muslim families were similarly boarded in the vehicles and met the same fate. [T]hose who somehow managed to escape the wrath of killers reached Sialkot to narrate their tale of woe…


The state administration denied it had any role in the massacres. It even feigned ignorance of any plans to change the demography of the Jammu region. But Bhasin differs:

Though polite, he warned me of dire consequences…he first warned me by saying that “I could have put you behind bars for your nefarious activities. But since you also happen to be a Khatri like me and are also related to me, i am simply giving you advice. It is not the time to form peace committees and work for peace but to defend Hindus and Sikhs from the Muslim communalists who are planning to kill them and destabilise the situation. We have already formed a Hindu Sikh Defence Committee. You and your colleagues better support it.” Then he added, “We are imparting armed training to Hindu and Sikh boys in Rehari area. You and your colleagues should better join such training.” When i sent a colleague to the training camp the next day he found that some RSS youths and others were being given training in the use of .303 rifles by soldiers.

Another incident that I recall is about Mr Mehr Chand Mahajan (the then prime minister) who told a delegation of Hindus who met him in the palace when he arrived in Jammu that now when the power is being transferred to the people they should demand parity. [One] of them associated with National Conference asked how can they demand parity when there is so much difference in population ratio. Pointing to the Ramnagarrakh below, where some bodies of Muslims were still lying he said “the population ratio too can change”.

Mahatma Gandhi did comment on the situation in Jammu on 25 December 1947 and his remarks have found mention in volume 90 of his Collected Works: “The Hindus and Sikhs of Jammu and those who had gone there from outside killed Muslims. The Maharaja of Kashmir is responsible for what is happening there…Muslim women have been dishonoured.”

The guys/gals from scroll.in know no math. Being from the HSS depts that is no surprise either.

Jammu became a Hindu and Sikh majority because all Dharmic survivors of West Punjab shifted there from Lahore - Sialkot - Jammu. The number is more than a million.

What followed was a riot on a scale never seen before there. Hindus and Sikhs butchered Muslims en masse to avenge their own butchery in West Punjab.

In East Punjab, Muslims by and large left, killings were not prominent until the trainloads of dead Sikhs started pouring in Amritsar.

In the end, East Punjab became Muslim frei and West Punjab became Sikh and Hindu frei. That is what should have happened in entirety in both of the countries, albeit more slowly and in a phased manner. That would have minimized the violence. A complete population transfer should have been done at that time with proper planning.

You can see in the link. I don't understand why people in India take Pakistanis people here seriously and start defending like the guilty ones.Seems like Pakistani Propaganda is working which sole purpose is to make Indian guilty for things never happened.

For Pakistanis well keep going as that is your karma as i expect nothing else from an enemy state.

You had the guts to accept it Muslims were 35% of Jammu and were pro Pakistan the Maharaja used his state machinery to aid the violent jhatas of outsiders in eliminating Muslims from Jammu my maternal village is in Sialkot we migrated from Jammu during partition we were lucky we lived in bordering villages our village was 50% Hindu during partition we still have an old temple here(which is locked up) the Hindus got replaced by refugees from mainly Hoshiyarpur,Jammu and even Kashmir valley(Khwajas,butts)others were not so lucky the jhatas didnt want to expel Muslims they wanted to eliminate them
In Punjab there was expulsion but in Jammu it was plain simple genocide in Bhimber AJK entire border villages are made up of Jammu,ites even their dialect is different(pahari dialects are not similar for those who are not familiar with Pahari language family)

You fukwit.. hindus and sikhs didnt even make 35% of Lahore population of .6 million.. Lahores sister city Amritsar had 49% muslim population alone..




What followed was a riot on a scale never seen before there. Hindus and Sikhs butchered Muslims en masse to avenge their own butchery in West Punjab.

The sikhs and hindus started butchering people in march 1947.. and thats when the mass exodus of muslims from East began...

Amritsar,Ludhiana,Hoshiyarpur,Gurgaon,Jalandhar,Ambala,Gurdaspur were cleansed of muslims.

In East Punjab, Muslims by and large left, killings were not prominent until the trainloads of dead Sikhs started pouring in Amritsar.

Amazing how you bastardise history... most of those cities had muslim majorities and they were cleansed.

Is that why muslims were getting butchered in Bihar,Jammu & Kashmir,Panjab and your capital Delhi?
 
misleading headling.. article talks about 3000 where as headline says 600000. Also Jammu does not have this much population even now, how come it was at that time?
its 500k people killed at that time. that's why there is small population even now.

So you are more worried about a picture than the elephant in the room... damn you people are pathetic.

Do you want your compatriots boasting about muslim masscares on your indian forums?

The bottom line is clear.

West Pakistan ended with 2% Hindus and Sikhs left. And India (what remained of it) was left with roughly 9% of Muslims. It is clear who was able to clean whom. :)

Enough said.

I visited those forum and found nothing but kids blabbering so they can feel good and show some masculinity. I can bet those kids never seen a sun out of their mom basement.

Also about the sad incident where Muslim killed Non-Muslims (Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists,Jains and Christians) and others Muslims during partition.

I blame leaders of Congress and Muslim League as blaming others is the easiest part. While in reality leaders from both sides were as in fault as well as their followers guided by hate and bigotry.

Note :
Those numbers and pictures are fake but that doesn't matter as one life lost is also a sad incident.

The bottom line is clear.

West Pakistan ended with 2% Hindus and Sikhs left. And India (what remained of it) was left with roughly 9% of Muslims. It is clear who was able to clean whom. :)

They already know that and quite proud of it. It is a story where a blind guy keep pointing fingers at everyone while shouting ," Oh blind man! ".

Morale of the story : So others don't look into his blindness.

Guess the Hindus there and then knew how to fight. Look, I ain't gonna deny that Muslims were not butchered. Of course they were. But they were isolated. We could not do that on a national scale. What Pakistan was able to do all over the country, except parts of Sindh, Hindus and Sikhs in India could do only in Punjab and nearby areas. The South was quite untouched. Central India was untouched as well. The Urdu speaking millions of the UP left and setup shop in Sindh. But in the end, roughly 10% of the population in India (what was left of it) remained Muslim. It is obvious that the level of 'clean up' was not as thorough as that in Pakistan.
 
The bottom line is clear.

West Pakistan ended with 2% Hindus and Sikhs left. And India (what remained of it) was left with roughly 9% of Muslims. It is clear who was able to clean whom. :)

Compare both Punjab you will get a much clear picture
 
They already know that and quite proud of it.
Yes, of course. Punjabi Muslims in West Pak are glad that the Hindus and Sikhs were evicted from the land. Why should they not be? That was the reason for the partition, it was a clear victory.

But after calling for the creation of a Muslim state, carving out land where all communities lived together - it is utterly stupid to expect the other communities to give everything to the Muslims on a platter. It was surprising that the entire Muslim population in remaining India was not totally wiped out.
 
The bottom line is clear.

Bottom line is that you are a douchebag that forgets it was east Pak which had hindus in majority ... and never Pakistan.
 
Compare both Punjab you will get a much clear picture
Why on Earth will I compare only Punjab?
I will compare all of Western India (now Pakistan) and what remained of India. Punjab is the only 'success' story of a population exchange. Can't be compared with rest of India.
