*Date:* May 2, 2025 at 8:37:48 PM PDT *From :*sridharan <[email protected]> *Subject:* *KASHMIR HINDUS* Dear all This is the time to push story of our displacement and the misery heaped on us by kashmiri muslims . People did not appreciate the muslim mindset . They have not been part of contact battle that we have been . I push following on all platforms TV Channels covering Pahalgam , Twitter , Facebook . What is needed is that so many warriors who are eloquent in this group can use this energy on social media. *Following are the excerpts from our history that one can share on Social Media* It is a five front war Pakistan , China , Bangladesh, Within India and Social Media ________ 500000 Hindus of Kashmir were evicted under Pak policy of Raliv, Chaliv t Galiv= Convert , Runaway or Die during 7th & last migration in 1990 .Property looted , women raped & men killed . Hindu population in Kashmir reduced in 800 years from 100% in 1320 to .001% in 2024. VasuGupt , Abinav gupt Kalhana , Bilhan, Kshamendra , hundreds of Kashmiri saints and philosophers , Lalitadita of Martand Fame , Adi Shankaracharya visiting Sharda Devi University in POK , all are mute witness to Kashmir being the jewel of India which has been snatched by nemesis of Pak. >From Mahabharat time till date Kashmir has contributed to Indian thought . Shiv Sutras of 8th century the very first one Chaitany Atman lays the foundation of Indic thought . It is very sad on how our education system lays less emphasis on Indic thought and thus breeding left. Mir Shams-ud-Din Araqi, under the influence of Syed Nurbaksh, came from Herat on a mission to eradicate idol worshippers . He came to Kashmir in 1480 and stayed for 20 years . *He lies buried in the Shia Shrine at Zadibal. This so called Sufi saint used to force feed a Neo converts Cow meat to prevent them from going back to Hinduism*. *A medieval chronicle, Tohfat-ul-Ahbab, , records that “on the instance of Shams-ud-Din Iraqi, Musa Raina had issued orders that everyday 1,500 to 2,000 infidels be brought to the doorstep of Mir Shamsud-Din by his followers. They would remove their sacred thread and administer kelima to them, circumcise them and make them eat beef.” Tarikh-i-Hasan notes “twenty-four thousand Hindu families were converted to Iraqi’s faith by force and compulsion*”. Malik Kaji Chak became a powerful prime minister under Sultan Muhammad Shah. And *one of the major commands of Amir Shams-ud-Din Muhammad Iraqi carried out by him (Kaji Chak) was the massacre of the infidels and polytheists of this land* says Baharistan-i-Shahi. Their massacre was scheduled to be carried out on the holy festival day of Ashura (Muharram, 1518 CE) and ‘about seven to eight hundred infidels were put to death. Those killed were the leading personalities of the community of infidels at that time.’ Thereupon, *the entire community of infidels and polytheists in Kashmir was coerced into conversion to Islam at the point of the sword. This is one of the major achievements of Malik Kaji Chak*, records Baharistan-i-Shahi. The Baharistan-i-Shahi states, *All traces of infidelity and idol worship were replaced by Islamic symbols and the infidels and holy thread wearers of Kashmir were converted to Islam*. Dr. Farooq Peer writes, “The Valley of Kashmir is indebted to the great saint for cleaning it from idol worship and blessing it with the gift of Islam.”(5) Ú Sultan Sikandar (1389-1413 CE), also known as Butshikan or iconoclast, was deeply influenced by Sufi Syed Hamadani. He attempted to establish Sharia with the help of Sufi Syed Ali Hamadani’s son, Sufi Mir Mohammad (Amir Sayyid Muhammad) and Saif-ud-Din (a newly converted Brahmin). The Muslim historian Hasan describes this period as an orgy of cruelty, violence and terror let loose on the Brahmins. “The credit of wiping out the vestiges of infidelity and heresy from the mirror of the conscience of the dwellers of these lands,” goes to the holy Sufi saint Sayyid Muhammad, notes Baharistan-i-Shahi. Hindu festivals, rituals, processions and music were banned. Even application of tilaks was not allowed. Jizya tax was levied and an institute called Sheikh-o-Islam was made to ensure that Islam is followed strictly. Srivara, a historian of Kashmir, records, referring to the destruction of literature, “Sikander burnt all books the same wise as fire burns hay” Traditional arts that did not find any place in the Islamic scheme of things were ruined. Grand ancient mandirs and viharas, and murtis of the finest possible workmanship were destroyed. The riches were used to build mosques and khanqahs. The temple of Martand, which was of great significance to the Hindu civilization, was destroyed by digging deep into its foundations, removing the foundational stones, filling the gaping wounds with logs of wood and finally putting it to flames . Prior to this, huge hammers were used for one full year only to break and vandalize its fine sculptures. While many scholars have argued that the iconoclasm indulged in by Sikandar is exaggerated, detailed archaeological records are given by the ASI. Jonaraja, the Kashmiri historian (15th century) has also elaborated on the subject. Abul Fazl writes that the Sultan was a rigid follower of religion and a bigot, and he overthrew the temples and persecuted the people who were not of his faith. Firishta adds that all the temples were pulled down and idols of gold and silver were melted down. Hindus were given a choice between converting, exile or getting killed. They fled to neighbouring regions of Kishtawar and Bhadrawah via Simthan pass and also to various provinces of India via Batote (known as Bata-wath, the path of the Bhattas or Kashmiri Hindus). Kashmiri Pandits numbering over one lakh were drowned in the lake and were burned at a spot in the vicinity of Rainawari in Srinagar. It is known as Bhatta Mazaar (the graveyard of Kashmiri Pandits). Hindu women were raped and sold. Avoiding brutalities, many committed suicide by jumping into rivers or wells . *Drawing a graphic picture of the miseries and traumatic experiences of the exodus forced by Sikander Butshikan, the great kashmiri hisorian Jonaraja (died AD 1459 and wrote the second Rajtarangni) writes*: *Crowds of Hindus ran away in different directions through by-passes; their social life was totally disrupted, their life became miserable with hunger and fatigue; many died in scorching heat; many got emaciated due to under-nourishment; many lived on alms in villages enroute to the provinces in India; some disguised as Muslims roamed about the country searching their distressed families; their means of livelihood were snatched from them to prevent their education and break their morale; the Hindus lolled out their tongues like dogs searching dog’s morsel at every door*.d Sultan Sikandar “was constantly busy in annihilating the infidels and destroyed most of the temples…,” records Haidar Malik Chadurah -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
