kashmiris have to understand that kashmir is the last secular link in India. if kashmir asks for independence just coz they follow a different religion, the remaining India will never remain secular any more. the days of islamic sword is over. jihadis are the last breath of islam. starting from 11th century, kashmiri pandits have been tortured beyond imagination. most of them got converted under duress and got brainwashed by the friday prayer meetings. some pandits of that time got converted for safety and money and power. some refused and were done to death. Kashmir is a saga of the survival struggle of pandits for about 10 centuries. the most peaceloving people either were converted and brainwashed to become jihadis or were uprooted from their homelands just coz they refused islamic madness. dont forget the sacrifice the Sikh Gurus. they died just to show to the world the centuries of islamic suppression and annihilation of Kashmiri pandits. if u want to read history, read it from the islamic invasion. history doesnt start when India Army came out of barracks to the streets in 90s. Kashmir is India, and is a living sample of the endurance of the Hindus and oppression of Islam.
