PLIGHT OF THE PANDITS ... 6
The 1990 exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley is the seventh such instance of their being forced out of their homeland in several centuries of brutal Islamic oppression of the Hindus there. This must be noted and all such illusions that are entertained by gullible Indians who are fed the tale of a harmonious civic culture of Kashmir down the ages must be dispelled.
The Pandits still live in exile as refugees in their own country but away from their home province where they had lived for thousands of years and flourished before Islamic brutality ended their peaceful prospering as a community and reduced them to servitude. They were converted at the edge of the sword, killed if they resisted and driven out of their home and hearth to live in banishment elsewhere. The Hindu temples were looted, desecrated and destroyed, the Hindu scriptures burnt and the Hindu culture made to halt in its millenia-old progression towards perfection and glory. Muslim settlers en masse were brought in to change the demographics of the Valley till today, after centuries of sustained persecution, the Hindus have been virtually wiped out of a region where they once formed the overwhelming majority.
And, now, the Islamic movement, that has worked for centuries in Kashmir to establish its absolute demographic control of the territory, has started struggling for its ultimate objective, that of secession from India and the establishment of an Islamic state under the Shariah. This is what the secessionists want in principle but which evidently has deeper designs of that perfidious state, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, whose agents these separatists are. For who can liberate Kashmir this way without receiving active support from this noxious neighbour of India and, in the process, not falling prey to that terrorist state which fuels and foments all trouble in this geographical paradise of the world but an earthly menace for the Hindus for centuries of Islamic rule?
