1) A grouse of the antagonists of Amarnath land transfer is the alleged discontinuance of the 30% share out of the temple revenue that a Muslim family is said to have been receiving earlier, in consideration of their supposed discovery of the Amarnath shrine. Even if this story is true, that much of share out of the revenues contributed by lakhs of Hindu devotees, is simply over-greedy and against the basic tenets of Islam. Had the demand been pegged at not more than 1%, that too on condition that a major part of it again would go to a socially useful trust.
2) On some earlier occasions, the Kashmiri separatists would have us believe, during the course of media interviews, that theirs was not a communal or theocratic agenda; that a separate Kashmir envisaged a secular society and the peaceful co-existence of Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists! Now their veneer has dropped dead flat.
3) The antagonists' inveterate hatred against the Hindus forebodes the doom which is in store for the latter, in the (impossible) event of Kashmir seceding from India.
4) By the way, what happened to all the Hindu temples that lay in a number of villages strewn over an area of around 80,000 sq Kms in the Kashmir valley? What happened to the lands attached to and owned by those temples?
5) What has happened to the landed properties of the ten lakh Kashmiri Pandits that were either liquidated or driven away from the Kashmir valley?
