The tears of the literati, liberals and pseudo-secular crowds are reserved for religious minorities. If you happen to be a Hindu, no matter how down trodden, you are shit out of luck. If you are on fire and if you are lucky then someone may spit on you. That is the status of Hindus in the only land they can call their own. If you are a Hindu in most of India, you can still live peacefully to some extent. But if you are Hindu living in a state like Kerala where your population percentage is low, you are a target for mockery (as seen in the recent Sabrimala tragedy), ridicule and conversion. However, if you are a Hindu in J&K, then you are lowest priority of all the citizens of India.What has happened to Kashmiri Hindus is a crying shame. I had such hopes from the BJP government with regards to the Kashmiri Hindus. They did not do anything for them. They probably did not want to upset the uneasy peace in J&K. Of course there is no hope from the current government. The J&K CM is not even amenable to the Indian flag in his state. What a mockery of all that our nation stands for!
Kashmiri Hindus are truly God’s own people. God IS looking out for them because no one else is.
Kashmir Hindus: Forsaken, forgotten for 21 years
Lalit Koul
January 19 is an insignificant day for most of the people around the world. It comes and goes and nobody notices. But for the last 21 years, for one community, it is the day that brings back frightening and dreadful memories. It is the day when 21 years ago final nail in the coffin of forsaken community of Kashmiri Hindus was hammered. It was the day when Islamic terrorists and their sympathisers gave 24 hours eviction notice to Kashmiri Hindus. It was the day when the threats of Raliv, Galiv Ya Chaliv (Convert, die or escape) replaced the sounds of evening Azaan (prayers) from majority of mosques in the valley of Kashmir.

The pseduo-secularists and the so called "intellectuals",in India keep their moth firmly shut when this topic is raised.
ReplyDeleteBut the rest of India's Hindus should find some ways to help Kashmiri Hindus regain their self-respect,at least.
High time this was done as they have been refugees in their own lad for decades.
