We speak of the Kashmiri Pandit exodus often. WHY doesn’t anyone ever speak of the genocide of nearly 2 lakh Muslims of Jammu in 1947 at the hands of armed Hindu militias aided by the forces of Maharaja Hari Singh? And how many Muslims had to flee to save their lives? These are figures recorded in history, attested to by independent international scholars, historians, researchers and journalists. These human tales of suffering endured by Muslims in Jammu in 1948 are harrowing and unimaginable — entire families wiped out, burnt alive, daughters raped in front of their families. YET, those 2 lakh victims of the 1947 genocide in Jammu are never spoken about. This shameless silence is primarily due to our own apologetic Muslim politicians and leaders in J&K. They are SO apologetic about their own ethnic identity that they have allowed the history of Muslims of J&K to be whitewashed over decades. They might have palaces in Bathindi but have never spoken about the victims of 1947 genocide whose blood is in the same soil where their real estate investments are thriving today - Palatial houses, apartment complexes across Jammu, shopping complexes and vast swathes of land. They are more interested in their investments and Jageer than in standing up for Kashmiris. The whole rotten lot of them. Today’s “Jammu Pradesh” echo finds its roots in the genocide of Muslims carried out in 1947. The hate never went away. It was only systematically suppressed for Jammu to thrive in an administrative mechanism that always benefited Jammu and appeased Jammu while inflicting gross injustices on Kashmir. The way Jammu couldn’t tolerate Kashmiri Muslims students in their medical college is also something that finds its roots in the same ideology and venom of the Jammu genocide of 1947. Kashmiri leaders should stop being shameless and stand up for those who vote for them. Their speeches and loitering around in Jammu, sitting in party offices there in the winters soaking up on Vitamin D, amounts to naught. There are no takers for their apologetic and shameless efforts to please those who hate our very existence - neither in Jammu nor in Delhi. Time to stand up for Kashmir or get out of the way!

These people have only been caught now. But back in the 90s, Kashmiri Pandits themselves used to kill and rob Kashmiri Pandits, and then claim that Muslims had killed and robbed them. On the other hand, Muslims used to save Kashmiri Pandits,
