Few Questions
by Jonny on Jul 09, 2008 11:15 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hey Falcon,
You sound like a different kind of whoever I have seen before. Few questions--
1. What all of you were doing when Kashmiri Pandits were being massacred their women raped and they had to leave in their own country as refugees. Please don't give answer like Muslims were being massacred and all bcos you know thats not the truth. If that would have been the case number of Muslims will not be increasing everywhere. Anyway,
2. How do you explain a situation where there was not a single mosque in 15th century and now the place can't even find a some 50 hectares of land for one temple. Where do all the Hindus and temples gone.
3. How do you explain the scenario where Kashmir is contributing towards the center small fund where is getting bigger economic packages in return. Will anybody spend money on stepchildren?
4. Why is that whereever Muslims get in majority they want separate state. When they are minority they complain 1000 different things and keep increasing numbers creating headaches and once in majority want separate state. This is going on everywhere. Do you think you were a Muslim 600 years back if you are a Kashmiri.

Hi Friend, Why u r talking that only Kashmiris have suffered? Its the way of this world (God has made it that way) that whenever there is the change there will be suffering. Hence, change is always very unplesant. U can take example, when Mohd. Gauri & Mohd. Gaznavi attacked Saurashtra (Somnath Temple)lakhs of innocents were killed, lakhs were made slaves but that does not mean that locals of that region are should talk the way Kashmiri people are talking.Mugals invaded this country then also we respect all humans (any religion) just bcoz few are bad doesnot mean all are bad.
Anyways, for Kashmir u people are misguided, it was not Indian army that claimed Kashmir during Independence.Actually, Afgan infiltrators due to PAK's ill will (bad intention),guidance & help had attacked Kashmir in 1947 and they were looting,raping & massacaring locals even in Srinagar.Then when King of Kashmir Hari Singh Rana signed agreemnt with India giving accesions,India Army acted. Sardar Patel was sucessful to throw them out till today's LOC but due to wrong act of Indian PM Nehru (An Kashmiri Pandit) who went to UN later & UN asked for ceasefire with permenante border as LOC.Sardar Patel had told Nehru to not to got to UN till entire Area is regained but rest is the history now.And if you speak about reality then Pandits are the original locals of Kashmir living since more than 200 years & rest have come, due to Muslim influenced kingdom surrounded to Kashmir Today it like Owners(Pandits) r ou

Sorry, I wanted to say LOC as Temporary border yill UN settlement & in last line I meant Original local Kashmiris Pandits older than 2000 years or more are out because rest are the people due to Muslim influenced kingdom surrounded to Kashmir & hence, majority are from there. it is like owners are out of there home & tenants are Claiming.

Ans.1 Honestly it wasnt the sort of mass massacre or rapes as u have projected.Even Pandit groups will give you number which wont be more than 100-150 over these 20 years. Yes there were killings and that created a scare and they left the valley assisted by the Govt. or not is open to debate.But numbers don't matter ,even a single killing can scare a minuscule minority like Pandits and they had to leave their home and hearth which is very unfortunate. We can say the pandits left and the muslims did'nt stop them from going.How the sikhs stayed behind and are still there is also a fact hat cannot be denied. On individual basis people did try and help people to stay back and they did in some villages but for anyone to speak out in those days on any issue would have been disastrous for that individual.
2. The Hindu temples are still there but are in a state of negligence due to lack of maintainence.
3. If you have been to Kashmir and see the state of roads ,electricity and infrastructure overall you will also be baffled. So the money is going somewhere but surely not for development.
4. I think more to do with ethnic and regional aspirations than religion. Minorities I believe should be vocal to claim their rights. Blacks in America ause the same tactic. I know that till four generations back we have been muslims ,i will look into my family tree to let u know. it personally doesn't make a difference to me what my great great great grand pa was.
