Historical Events against Hinduism in Jammu and Kashmir By Ashok Raina Abrasion the vocalizations Kashmiri Hindus next to engrossed Kashmiri Pandits has grown-up at this instant very common. Customary the new social group gets its nativity after the mass exodus from the Kashmir valley. The factual accuracy unexpectedly has been modified infrequently since the influx of Buddhism from the time of Asoka around the third century BCE. The history reveals that Kashmiri Hindus are all Saraswat Brahmins, known by their exonym of pandit .Brahmins of Kashmir have mostly Vedic roots. The endonym used within the community is Bhatta .A long time ago the well civilized and polite societal group was also identified by “Daya Bhatta” which means kind hearted Brahmin. Attempt to breakdown this incalculable community sensitively initiated in yield era .The sophisticated social group finally disturbed by means of an irrational approach method. As such the unbearable nuisance word “Daleh Bhatta” at all times premeditated by Majority community in valley to incense the neighborhood by way of disruptive behavior. Despite to plot the scheme there could do with Showcasing the richness of our culture and remembering the cruel extermination of Kashmiri Hindus from Kashmir is perhaps the most important and most effective shield against the danger of losing our identity” declared Ankit Monga from California. Bolt from the blue exists that Jammu and Kashmir government recognize Kashmiri Hindus as a “Kashmiri Mahajareen” as well as stage manage them to Kashmiri Migrants, while as Hindus from Pak occupied Kashmir were being bring to mind as Pak refugees. On the road to doorway policy for two new social groups make up uncertainty and misunderstanding among each other. To segregate or break up policy constantly remains in the priority list of successive governments as a result thousands in number social groups have been formed and recognized under the garb of plotted scheme across the country for their vested interest of vote. Although the Brainy Pak refugees are claiming the identity of Dogra’s and set apart from the Kashmiri Pandits who are originally and usually the Brahmin community of the state recognized by worldly country. On the contrary it is an admitted fact and can never be ignored this obsession that we all the three sections of society(Pak refugees,kashmiri Mahajreen and Dogra’s) exactly belongs to same religion and have one origin concept of Hinduism faith by firmly state of mind. Makeup or visualize to reflect that even after six and a half decades the refugees who migrated to India from west Pakistan are still has no right of citizenship in our specialized status of Jammu and Kashmir state. The said populace had migrated to the state from Pakistan’s Punjab province during communal riots in or after 1947.While the Kashmiri Hindus who are being described as Kashmiri Pandits has to given the temporary status despite still living in its own state of legitimacy. Ambiguity is that those ex-militants of J&K who had crossed over to Pok/Pakistan for getting training have returned via Nepal border and has been rehabilitated with their Pakistani spouses so are fully honored with double citizenship right. I not at all akin to go further than the subject related but I feel to boot essentially for an illustration and instances by way of sharing my discerning with each and every one. Legitimacy is that all through duration of the mass departure preparatory from the valley, understanding of the traditional cultural steadiness values of Kashmiri pandits develop into ineffectual .In such quandary and tight-spot period the Kashmiri Brahmin (Hindus) thumbs down overlook strategy of future prospectus of the community. Ensue that they all misguidedly converted All Kashmiri Brahmin Sabha’s into several Kashmiri Pandit Organizations to tenacity their day today burnings as an instant of need or of time bond. Ultimately unexpected formation of confusion and unfocused the subject matter carry themselves a big gap of friction and scratchy “word” Kashmiri Hindus into Kashmiri Pandits is truly an infinite confusion inside all the right now. Many Prominent Kashmiri Pandits from US, India and other countries are excited to be part of the projects undertaken by Kashmir Hindu Foundation. Strongly feels a need to create special arts and culture projects and support these with a sustained funding mechanism to save the ignored community from the clutches of segregate policy makers. It had been aggrievedly and painfully noticed that beside the valley based majority people some impolite of Jammu people also embark on to disdain the community by using the unbearable nuisance words to such Brahmin class of highly civilized Hindu social group ,for the same Dogra Hindus are facing come back reactions. In the Jammu region originate Hindus the Dogra’s community are facing new heights of challenges due to regional bias and unfairness at the present time. The attitude of central government since the agreement between Sheikh Mohd Abdullah and Pt Nehru meant for special status to state never been correct or rework with the result the Hindu majority community in Jammu division put up into dilemma. The policy makers deliberately discount the Jammu region on the lines of delimitation also. In short to say that Dogra Hindu community being divest politically as well as economically in an unwise approach and outlook since the origin of the state. It is an apology to state that perhaps they were being unheard at an every step, field and countryside because of break up equals of precise. The inequity and bigotry virus causes an acute infirmity among the Jammu people especially among the Dogra’s .It is they who undergo and realize for unwise approach and outlook for which they are paying damages and costs till now. It is pertinent to say that all the three section of important social groups Kashmiri pundits, pak refugees, and Dogra’s have good faith in nationality, comportment of one religion with love making tranquility and brotherhood. Beside all this it envisages that life form of Hinduism belief being segregated on the lines of social groups by means of flipside politics. Among all three social groups of Hindu glamour dogma within reach in Division Jammu, Dogra populace are large in number are facing unfriendliness adjacent behavior since the origin of state. The Kashmir vs. Jammu has been a generally bump into several times. After an example of Amarnath land row in 2008 the Martyrs day was observed on 13th of July this year in Kashmir valley. Beside the leaders of mainstreams political parties the pro-freedom party leaders including the chief minister of state pays rich homage to those martyrs who laid down their lives against the Dogra rule of 1931 call for to move around. Plot Scheme behind dissection of Hindu faith populace is a grave concern and urgently to needs to reflect and envisage. The recognition of Kashmiri pundits from Kashyap puter to Kashmiri Mahajareen( migrants) is a part of sliding doors policy, inside the community self- indulgence policy had been adhered on priority basis with a grasp to promote weaken and go down the social group within the state of affairs. Assumed strategy is evidence for positive results for supervision command that upshots nearby circumstance as well as generate bear out hard-hitting and struggle for breathe to the KP community. Classification of Kashmiri Mahajreen as well as Kashmiri Pandits has specified the unenthusiastic approach across the country. In the year of 1990 such Kashmiri Hindus who largely befall by means of terrible militant activities in the valley being neglected across the state of territory. No anybody has make a cry or shed their tears for those victimized Hindu belief populace who constantly demonstrate their sacrifice for the national integration .At the design of Assam, Government of India has never taken the safety measures for such minority peace like community in the state. The secular democratic country entirely fall short of on the flourish of desk to provide the security to Kashmiri Hindus in the Kashmir valley which results the deposition and mass exodus of such minority community from the valley. In his recently statement P. Chidambaram has also acknowledged that reminiscent of 1990 will never be allowed in any way .Home Minister was condemning the attack on Hindus in Kishwar the prominence hill district of Jammu division recently. However the terrorize fire from Kashmir has been reached now in Kishtwar due to non contemplation. The attack on Hindus of Kishtwar was revolted at most all over the place in the country. The pandemonium in the Indian parliament made known by everyone over the issue. The subject matter is that why Indian parliament remains salient over the issue of recognized Kashmiri Mahajareen since their unfortunate exodus. It is definitely here to say that the loss of identity is the loss of everything. But it is courageous to do something with this affirmation that those who suddenly lose their culture ,motherland, language, rituals, traditions has make a history of shape to live in these circumstances devoid of support of someone and induce as well as encourage this sensitivity to everyone. Although strongly identified with Hinduism faith Kashmiri Pandits are all Brahmins, some scholars believe that there were some other castes in Kashmir valley beside Brahmins, before the advent of Islam in the 14th Century is a matter of detailed research. Most among them got converted to Islam and only Brahmins and Shiva followers remained after withstanding the onslaught of the tyranny of the ilk of sultan skinder, the iconoclast. How these Brahmins braved the hardship, troubles and tribulations, how they weathered the storm of tyranny and how they withstood the miseries unleashed by the alien rulers, their colonies and some black sheep of their own community, who had got converted for their self aggrandizement is a story of bravado, perseverance and fortitude. Above all it speaks volumes about their spiritual strength and the unflinching faith they had upon their own traditional values. Their “Yajnopavits” (the holy threads) were burnt by quintals. Their holy places were desecrated and raised to ground. Unclean and forbidden items like animal bones and flesh were forced into their mouths and special taxes called “Jazia” were levied on them for professing a different religion. (Despite all rights reserved I undergo obligatory to make clear towards this reality from the manuscript of T.N.Dhar “Kashmiri Pandit community a profile” and for an above paragraph I highly courtesy for such incorporation in this article) Like other parts of India state of Jammu and Kashmir have also historically known for struggle against the Hinduism .Attempt and make an every effort to convert the Kashmiri Brahmins and “Kashyap puteras” like get great pleasure by converting Namboodhiri Brahmins by Tipu sultan” Said Kundan Kashmiri, during the conversion with writer on cell phone. He further noted with an exemplify to go through history that Under the reign of Mohammad bin Tughlaq ,the Muslim cleric Ziauddin Barrani wrote several works such as the Fatwa-I- Jahandari ,which gave him a reputation as a” fanatical Protagonist of Islam and wrote that there should be “an all out struggle against Hinduism. Thus historically the word Kashmiri Pandits renowned for the Saraswat Brahmins are Kashmiri Hindus elevate this query that “kashmiri Pandits why not well known in place of Kashmiri Hindus” are at a standstill suffering from several challenges in its own native land for rejection of adaptation yet another time in ill-timed year of 1990. As of such thousands of Kashmiri Pandit families had to leave their centuries old homes and hearths to save their honor and lives. The entire state had to suffer severe stresses and strains and the events of ninety could have not gone unnoticed. Epoch from Mohd Gauri and Mohd Gaznavi attack on Hindus are though not a new Phenomenon. It remains a fact that the spread of Anti Hindu infection to other parts of the state was emboldened by the forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits a quarter century back. Although it is necessary to know and understand the role and influence of 9th August Kishtwar communal riot is part of anti minority sentiment created in early 90’s.But it is shock and dismay to say that caste politician create a division among the Hindu devotion populace have to joining together. It also is a political struggle for re-structuring the society in a monolithic fashion and this is entering in the larger matrix of local politics. This is the reason that Kashmiri Pandits why not well known in place of Kashmiri Hindus. Although the Hindus of Kishtwar who like Kashmiri pandits happen to victims of communal riots, after all these happenings the entire Hindus from other regions should have the courage of upcoming.
