Not ‘Migration’. Not ‘Conflict’. But ‘Genocide’: A Conscious Remembrance

 Some dates fade with time. '19th January 1990' bleeds . It was the night Kashmir died for us. The night our roots were ripped out. The night neighbours turned into facilitators. The night silence became a weapon.      Long before that night, danger was screaming for attention; and was deliberately ignored. Warnings were sent. Pleas were made. Jagmohan (State Governor then) begged the central leadership, warning that Kashmir was “fast deteriorating… near a point of no return”. But power slept. Politics calculated. And we were marked. By 1989, the system had collapsed. Police were broken. Intelligence vanished. Courts refused to act. Terrorists walked free. The daughter of the Home Minister was ‘kidnapped’; and hardened terrorists were released in exchange. Schools/colleges shut. Elections died. Law disappeared. And then came the beginning of the ethnic cleansing . Pandit Tika Lal Taploo, Justice Neelkanth Ganjoo, Pandit Lassa Kaul, Pandit Sa...

My letter to Barkha Dutt in August 2008, exposing her biased narrative!

My letter to Barkha Dutt on 21st August 2008 [& to editor-in-chief's of other major news-channels/print-media - TOI, Times Now, Indian Express, Live Mint, Indiatimes, Hindustan Times, Network18 online]..... Sent:  Thursday, 21 August, 2008 10:36:43 PM Subject: Why is our own Indian media (NDTV especially) pampering Kashmiri separatists? - India Questions! __________________________________________________________________________________ Starting with the quote of our Ex President Dr. Abdul Kalam Azad " Indian media should represent the billion people of the country ".....   ......... i recall your (Barkha Dutt's) comments in the prime time news of NDTV 24X7 probably in the first week of July saying Yasin Malik “EVEN” went to meet the yatris to assure them of their security etc., – I as a normal nationalist Indian completely failed to understand & was really shattered on hearing the word “EVEN” ??? It was quite obvious that Barkha Dutt feels th...

🅕🅛🅐🅢🅗🅑🅐🅒🅚 By now all schools/colleges were already shut-down throughout the valley due to prolonged & continuous curfews following regular terrorist attacks, killings and protests in the valley. By now and since last 5-6 months (then), many Kashmiri Pandits were already selectively & mercilessly killed... And, then came the morning of Friday, the 19 th January 1990 wherein the state of mind of all Kashmiri Pandits across the valley was like other days i.e., ‘mentally disturbed but physically right’. Kashmiri Pandits woke-up (then) to another chilling winter morning NOT KNOWING that the 'night' today would be THE CHILLEST EVER for all of them across the valley that no one could have ever imagined in his/her lifetime... Completely unaware that in the entire Kashmir, 'Saw' was being sharpened by fundamentalists to put last nail in the coffin for Kashmiri Pandit Exodus, a community was made to extinct by way of selective and gruesome/ghastly killi...

FLASHBACK: 30 years back… ‘~So it was around this time that very day… exactly 30 years back… that we all KashmiriPandits experienced this horrific ever night in #Kashmir – called Friday, The #19thJanuary1990… 'It was a typical wintry cool night and we had just finished with our dinner at 'wout' (ground-floor) at around 9:30pm. Now, we were watching Doordarshan (with extremely low volume, for watching Indian TV was banned by the terrorist groups in Kashmir, and our neighbors being their informers). And, all of a sudden, across all the mosques, we started hearing loudest ‘Azadi Azadi’ slogans coming from the loud-speakers and we absolutely unaware about the intent of this jihadist/fanatic mass cry. Such was the planning, that all this was happening at the same time across all mosques by the masses in entire Kashmir valley. Along with this sloganeering, masses started drumming the steel roof-tops of their houses and the thundering sound of that ‘mass roof-top...

When Pseudo-seculars, Pseudo-liberals (within & outside #India including few intellectuals, journalists, academicians, activists, some-in-Bollywood), Pakistan and many Indian Politicians-with-vested-interests are hell bent to disturb the peaceful atmosphere of our Country... ... it becomes incumbent upon us to spread the correct information to negate their misadventure of spreading lies for their clearly visible ulterior & motivated agenda/narrative/game-plan... Sharing TRUTH is the least we can do to contribute positively and to negate the lies being spread by these set-of-people for instigating people to carry out violent activities...

Why Congress can't absolve itself of fuelling terrorism & massacre/exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir starting 1989!.....

This l etter to Mr. Rajiv Gandhi by Mr. Jagmohan  is a must read and an eye opener for all those who are not aware or have not experienced the terrorism in Kashmir starting 1989.  This read is also for those who, without knowing the facts, keep on blaming Mr. Jagmohan for moving Kashmiri Pandits out of Kashmir. This read is also for those who, inspite & despite, of knowing the facts pretend to remain asleep, though I know it is very difficult to awake this set of people and make them understand..... ____________________________________________________ Rajiv Gandhi - Ex Prime Minister of India By Jagmohan April 21, 1990 Dear Shri Rajiv Gandhi, You have virtually forced me to write this open letter to you.  For, all along, I have persistently tried to keep myself away from party politics and to use whatever little talent and energy I might have to do some creative and constructive work, as was done recently in regard to the management and improvement of Mata Vaishno Dev...
