and you think muslim countries are most loved across the world?
Why are you bringing religion to this? The Islamic world is diverse, some countries are hated and some countries are liked; just as Christian countries.
pandits who were majority centuries back are now in minority and you think they are committing genocide.
yeah we know it was very peaceful one.
Kashmiris converted en masse when their king 'Rinchan' converted to Islam. He was a Ladakhi Buddhist. Him and like many other Kashmiris were converted by Sufis. He was responsible for establishing Islam in Kashmir.
Muslims in Kashmir have been suffering ethnic cleansing ever since forgien Hindus took the region over. The region was flooded by Hindu Dogras, Jatts, Rajputs and etc...
Diwan Chand was responsible for many anti-Muslim laws and had also demolished many mosques. He massacred countless Muslims and had Muslim women enslaved and sent to Lahore (Sikh Empire). Muslims had to deal with persecution in the region till 1947 (atleast in the Pakistani part); when they finally revolted.
My Grandparents are from Jammu, they were forced out and witnessed half of their family getting killed. About 20% of the population was Jammu was exterminated by Hindus, which was 60% of the Muslim population in Jammu.
To quote the 10 August 1948 report published in
The Times:
"237,000 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."
Today, about 10% of the population of Punjab are descended from the Kashmiri refugees. In cities like Sialkot, they make up a majority now.
In the 1980's, tens of thousands more refugees arrived.
Meanwhile you can still keep complaining about the Kashmiri Pandits, who mostly resettled in the same state and only had a casualty count of 339 (pales in comparison to what Muslims had to deal with). Meanwhile around 30,000-70,000 Muslim Civilians were killed in the same time by Indian occupation forces. With tens of thousands fleeing into Pakistan.
pandits are our own kin not some foreigners. lets not lump that with tibet.
Kashmiris are racially different from Indians. To help you better understand, the closest ethnic group (genetically) to Kashmiri Pandits are Pakistani Sindhis; despite them being so far. Just shows you how distanced they are in terms of genetics.
