    This constant attempt to discredit the KPs by linking them to the BJP and RSS is complete nonsense. People who supported the terrorists of Kashmir are trying to act like the victims of the terrorists are themselves associated with terrorists.

    its a nice try, but its pointless. THe KPs did not support the BJP when they were targetted and terrorised and drive out of Kashmir. Even now, they do not uniformly support the BJP.

    At the end of the day, the truth is that the KPs did no harm to the muslims before 1989, they have done no harm to the muslims after their exodus, but the kashmiri muslims continue their efforts to malign and denigrate the KPs. Because the alternative would be to acknowledge that the kashmiri muslims terrorized and targetted them.

    THey won't do that, so they create all kinds of lies and conspiracy theories about the KPs.

    Kashmiri pandiths have been poisoned by hindu extremists like BJP, RSS, Bajrang Dal, SHiv sena.. they speak the same language as their masters. That is why the terrorist sadhu ( hindu religious seer) danyanad who came from india and camped in jammu and spread hate their , he fooled kashmiri pandiths and they started the agitation amarnath land.
    despite the economic blockade done by kashmiri pandiths with BJP terrorists , we wellcomed yatris and they yatris number this year was 500,000.
    BJP not only have poisoned the naive kashmiri pandiths but they have now poisoned the indian army ( indian army were very bad previoulsly also) and now they have become state terrorists. indian army colonel prohit in nexus with bjp terrorists did bomb blast of train called samjotha express in which he killed 55 pakistani muslims., colonel prohit did hundreads of bomb blasts in kashmir and killed thousands of mulsmims. he did bomb blasts usually in tourist season at vantage points of famous dal lake and mogul gardens
    earlier kashmrii pandiths were fooled by congress and now they are puppets in the hands of BJP
    all kashmiri pandith candidats ( 47) lost the election. even jammu dogras ddint vote them

    Today Jan 19th completes the 19th year when Islamic terrorists in Kashmir had formally unleashed untold miseries on minority Hindus leading to their sudden exodus and subsequent ethnic cleansing. Naive as majority Muslims had been in wholeheartedly supporting the terrorists thought that by killing and hounding away minority Pandits, secession from India would follow.19 years later boundaries continue to stay put. The damage to Kashmiris both Hindus and Muslims is irreparable.Hindus lost their homes and hearths and Muslims, their eternal peace of mind. I wish Kashmir reverts back to relatively peaceful pre-1989 times.Once bitten, Pandits may or may not return back but by returning to peace Kashmiri Muslims would sure do good to themselves.May peace prevail.

    this is what the pakistanis say:

    "Bharat ka aik ilaaj, Al Jihaad Al Jihaad."

    Fat lot of good jihad did them in kashmir. All it got them was a lot of suffering for Kashmiris.

    Kashmiri muslims should understand that India will not give them anything that would amount to a win for Pakistan.

    This is not about kashmir. its about India and Pakistan and India will not concede one inch to pakistan. Kashmiri muslims have stupidly turned themselves into canon fodder on behalf of the pakistanis. If they were smart, they'd tell Pakistani to go to hell and leave them alone.

    But if they won't do that, if they have affinities for India's enemies, then they have made the choice to side with India's enemy and they have made the choice to suffer the consequences.

    If Pakistan is to be stable, successful and prosperous in the 21st century, it will have to make peace with India and integrate its economy with India's. If it refuses to do that, then thats its choice, but it won't get any closer to any resolution on Kashmir.

    and if the Kashmiris sit around waiting for the day they'll get azadi from India, then it their choice to keep suffering indefinitely.

    Kashmiris will get nothing from India that will amount to a win for Pakistan. Pakistan tried war 3 times. pakistan tried terrorism and jihad and insurgency. It has failed every single time.

    India, after having denied Pakistani any success on Kashmir for 60 years, should just hand over kashmir to people whose anti-India hatred has produced no results so far? Not going to happen.

    If Kashmiris want peace, they should make some accomodation with India about real autonomy within the Indian state, end of indian national parties like congress and BJP participating in J&K elections, etc, maintain state subject related prohibitions against non J&K subjects owning property, etc.

    If they can't accept it, if they want azadi, then they are waiting for India to accept defeat to Pakistan.

    and they will be waiting a very very very long time.

    If they make no difference, then the islamic terrorists of kashmir wouldn't have targeted them.

    THe kashmiri muslim civil society backed and supported the ethnic cleansing of kashmir. now they act like innocents in the matter.

    Well, if the 300,000 KPs are too small amongst the 4million Kashmiri muslims, then the 4 million kashmiri muslims are too small in the 1.1 billion of India, and nobody gives a damn about them and their treason, treachery and traitorousness against India.

    Indians welcome kashmiris to stay in India despite their anti India activities.

  • Posted By: Marazi @ 01/19/2009 12:09:13 PM

    Despite all the anti kashmir activities of Kashmiri Hindues i wellcome them to come to kashmir, this minscule population will mimake no difference to us, they are just 100 thousand in population and it is like pinch of salt in 8 million kashmir population.

    Aarti Tickoo's personal account is in the same genre as The Diary of Anne Frank, an authentic story of terror through the eyes of a young child. "Terror, once experienced, transcends all real and unreal boundaries." How true!!
    Her story has struck home with the broader Kashmiri community. Many of the commentators have presented their own stories of pain, some comments unfortunately were an articulation of the very forces of hate that have gripped Kashmir tighter than a boa constrictor could.

    However, no one has commented on Aarti's provocative title, "It is never over, never escaped." Is she really right? Is there not a single commentator who can articulate a statement that says Aarti you are wrong, that healing can occur that humanity can conquer the forces of hate and that people can overcome jihad or state repression and demand good governance for all citizens where they are protected without any discrimination in terms of life, liberty and pursuit of individual happiness. As the majority community in Kashmir the Muslims clearly will determine the first move as they always have for good or bad. The recent elections are an encouraging beginning and it is important that the Kashmiri Muslims save themselves from their saviors. Instead they should exercise pragmatic discretion and informed judgement in the choices that they make so that they can truly build a better future for themselves and their loved ones.

    If Aarti has forced us to confront the collective demons that reside within us and within Kashmir she will have done a signal service. If she has challenged us to find a way to escape out of our man made hell by holding a mirror to our future and telling us in plain words that it will never be over she has set the right challenge. As far as I am concerned this article was great journalistic writing and keep it coming.

      Aarti, perhaps will never escape the horror of her childhood as no chhild in Gaza will and she is also right that it never will be over. It has not been over for Kashmiris of one kind or the other and people of the Holy Land of one kind or the other. Forces of hunger for power and riches will see to it that it never is over. Nothing has ever changes in this world that is led by power hungry and money. Look into the history of mankind, all around the world. The meek inherit only in the kingdom of Nirvana, if there is such a thing. The only thing for the good to do is live out thier lives as best as they can staying as far as possible from violence and the violent. Go your way, do your thing and move on from where life has brought you.

    Dear Salim today i read the pakistani news paper and saw the news also on pakistani news channels and they say that India should hand over Colonel Prohit of Indian army to pakistan, Colonel Prohit of Indian army is this time in indian jail as he was caught with RDX and is involved with Maleagaon bomb blast and bomb blast of Samjotha express train which runs between india and pakistan.
    Colonel Prohit of Indian army planted bomb in the train and 55 pakistani nationals got killed in that train, with colonel Prohit of indian army there are many hindu terror group leaders and religious seer also in jail, namely a female religious Sadhvi pragraya singh she is also in jail as she provided support in the bomb blast of maleagon in which muslims got killed.
    Indian top religious sadhu ( religious seer) named sawami dayanand is also in jail for terror activities
    all these indian terror groups are getting money from non resident indians living in USA and UK and europe, they are getting substatial supply of money from Kashmiri pandits also who are interested in spreading terror in kashmir and jammu.
    KP,s were successufl in recently spreading terror in jammu and the blocked the lifeline road to the kashmir for one month and in that month even baby food was scarce

    Mirazi dear, read newspaper not Indian but Pakistani, they are publishing news of Mumbai attackers being Pakistani and have arrested lots of people in that connection. Now do not tell India hired those people in Pakistan and ask them to come India to carry out these attacks.

  • Posted By: tvenkat @ 01/03/2009 5:11:28 PM

    I can empathize with this Ms.Singh. Kashmiri Pandits have undergone a mass murder. It is easy for liberatl 'western' journalist or 'secular' pundits to find root causes of Islamic Jihads. They can call them militants, extermist etc. and play with semantics. But the Child who had to face the Jihadi terrorist these have no meaning. I wonder where these civil rights brigades went when the Islamic terrorists creating all these violence!! There is no sense of justice anymore and least of all in these arrogant media.

    • Posted By: tikoorules @ 01/16/2009 2:23:06 AM

      It is high time all of us wake up to this world wide evil of islamic jehad which categorically aims at killing or converting rest of the world. Be it middle east, India, China or Russia.............there is only one common aspect to all political problems involving muslims and that is what most of them claim jehad........

        thanks Mr tikoo, being kashmiri and muslim , i allways support kashmiri pandits i was trying my best let kashmiri panidts come back and i always feel the pain of panidts i visit jammu dehli even bombay to meet kashmiri pandits , by chance i browse this site and find what kashmiri pandits think about kashmir, u wish death for kashmir . than let me show the real face of panidts to my father who allways give examples of pandits friends of his time and allways miss tham

        Kashmiri pundits should stop spreading poison against kashmiri Muslims. When lacs of Muslims were killed by Hindus in Jammu in 47 no body touched them in Kashmir. Why dont these Naths says this in their comments. Somebody wrote their religion doesn't teach them. then whose religion teaches violence. You are living fools paradise. Some pundits wants to join hands with jews. Go a head try your luck. Still you find Jews and Muslims more close religiously.

  • Posted By: rkachroo @ 01/17/2009 6:08:30 PM

    Arti, Great job. Keep it up and educate the world of what is correct. As far as Marazi is concerned, my request to my folks is not to bother too much about him. He is just a misguided missile and I am sure it will fall in it own house soon. The day is not far and I can see it coming. They must have got a good lesson of what Pakistan is made to do (at least on an exterior) with its own people. My prediction - it will be Pakistan soon which will kill these people.

    We will go back to Kashmir. Soon with God's grace. And now, I am sure it will not be a one community dominated state. They will be either extinct or they will crawl on their knees to let them be there.

    India also I feel should be like Israel. Go inside, bomb them, make them bend backwards and then these people will understand. That is the only way senses will come back to them. Enough of feeding these parasites. And one resolve among us and the rest of the world should be to not buy anything which is made out of Kashmir. The same funds go and fund terrorists. This is my request to Indians and rest of the world. If you want your family to be safe, DONOT BUY ANYTHING MADE OUT OF KASHMIR.

    • Posted By: Marazi @ 01/18/2009 12:58:50 AM

      Dear kachroo, your post exposes you and your communitity mentality, so you want to bomb kashmir like israel bombed Gaza and you are requesting world not to buy MADE IN KASHMIR products.
      now tell me with these anti kashmir activities how can you come back to kashmir, i will not allow you even to stand on banihall tunnel and get a lungfull of fresh oxygen of kashmir.
      By the way the products made in our country Kashmir are being used by top notch people of world, beggers like you cant affort the pashmina shawls, sonia gandi used our shawl, hollywood actress like julia roberts and other actresses use our shawls.
      in oman all male population use our shawl , what they do is they make a head gear of it, even king uses same thing.

      so when you say dont buy any thing from kashmir , it exposes you and validates my point which i earlier made in posts that the economic blockade of kashmir for one month was done by BJP terrrorists, Kashmiri Pandiths with the help of saawami dayanda and indian army

    Hi Arti,
    It is a wonderful piece of work. The rabid response that it has drawn from the fundamentalists is proof that it has shaken them.

    It is immaterial what age you were when you left the valley. The fact is that attrocities were committed. Someone's freedom struggles and delusions robbed the Kashmiri Pandits of their own homes.

    The bottomline is terrorism in Kashmir is of the Islamic variety. It originated from the Mosques and the hapless victims were the minority Hindus. Hindus were evicted as part of a well thought plan. The fear pyschosis created and psychlogical warfare that was played out can not be imagined by normal citizens of India or the globe.

    Only a Rwandan Tutsi or a Iraqi Kurd can possibly empathize with us.

    The Kashmiri Muslims are trying hard to give an armed Jihad the veil of a freedom struggle, but the world has seen through it.

    Dear Marzai, Amnesty International and other Human Right bodies were tolls weilded by NATO countries against the Soviet Block. India is not new to their cooked up figures. One reason why no western country has ever seriously looked at their insinuations against India since the end of cold war is that they know the manipulations that take place there.

    Dear Marazi,
    Without intending any disrespect, you have a fertile imagination and a way with words. You could write a good war book of how the Palestinians and Hezbollah defeat the unholy troika of US-Israel-India. It will be a sure fire best seller in Middle East, and I promise I will buy one copy for myself.

    In 1990 Kashmiri Muslims started with a demand to become a part of Pakistan, and now when Pakistan appears destined for Doom, they change the demand to independence. First Kashmiri Muslims need to decide what they want for themselves.

      Dear batta wanderlustt, we first want indian to get out of kashmir. then we will decide what we do . personally i like kashmir to be independant.

  • Posted By: jsemshu @ 01/18/2009 12:26:06 AM

    hahahaha!

    India did the Bombay attack! India killed Karkare! India killed 4 million muslims! Jagmohan had the KPs leave Kashmir!

    hahahaha!

    The kashmiris and pakistanis think that they can change the view of the world by talking lies. or maybe they believe the very lies they create in their own minds.

    Well, if India orchestrated the bombay attack, then it has outmaneuvered Pakistan and Kashmiris most fantastically in diverting Obama's plans, and has left the pakistanis and Kashmiris without any chance of assistance from America for atleast the next 8 years.

    Kashmir rahey ga Hindustan.

  • Posted By: jsemshu @ 01/18/2009 12:17:11 AM

    the kashmiris lie without shame in their claims about welcoming KPs back. Its PR nonsense. They now say it because they want to appear like they never did anything wrong, that they still have no ill will in their hearts. Their lies fool no one.

    When the KPs were driven out of Kashmir by the terrorists and the maulvis, they had the complete support of kashmiri civil society. Now they lie and pretend like the KPs are welcome back.

    Sure they are welcome back, as long as their return helps the Kashmiri Muslims stop looking like the supporters of terrorism. But it is too late for that now. KPs have lost their homes in kashmir, they have no jobs in Kashmir, they have lost their social structures in Kashmir, they have built new lives elsewhere, they have made new lives for their children, found jobs, found homes.

    and now they should leave all of that to come and live amongst the terrorists who drove them out in the first place?

    So that terrorists sympathizers like Marazi can have the benefit of claiming that they are not really terrorist sympathizers?

    not going to happen.

    No freedom for Kashmir and no withdrawal of the indian armed forces from kashmir till the violent terrorism supported by Kashmiris stops.

    in 8 years, when Obama leaves office, Kashmir will still be in Indian hands.

    Till then you can keep dreaming about what he's going to do for you.

    This is the reason why india did the drama of Mumbai attack, they wanted to shift the attention of OBama who had said that he wants to solve the kashmir dispute.
    indians did the drama of mumbai attacks because its hindu terror was being exposed by honest officer named Hement karkare , so they killed him and other two honest officers who were investigating the hindu terror groups.
    India is master in doing these dramas, the did the parliment attack drama themselves and they said we killed all the terrorists.
    here in mumbai attack also they said we killed all and the one who is alive he is blamed of all actions including attack and killing of three police officers.

    One who lives the terror knows what it is.When you understand terror on the face of a child ,an old aged lady or a young girl you know what it looks like. Kashmiri pandits are not out on a picnic. No body is happy after leaving his home and hearth. No one would like to let his roots be embeded in to the unknown. Therefore it is a reality that Mumbai has brought back the memories of a horrible past that made us all leave behind our best and be refugees in our own land. Aarti has seen it all as a child and she can not forget it. She needs to be thanked for bringing the whole issue once again out in public for a debate. The kashmiri pandit population living as refugees in whole of india thus would appeal to the concious minds all across the Globe. Please understand it now. Understand it , it is standing at your gates.Humanity may have to repent for neglecting the cause that we stand for. Raise your voice YES BECOME AN AARTI.

    • Posted By: Marazi @ 01/17/2009 8:16:10 AM

      Why you need to appeal globally, you are free to come any time, all kashmiri wellcome you.But if you people want to threaten us kashmiris or act in anti kashmir movements then you with your one million indian army in kashmir can not help you.
      My guess is that you people dont want to come at all, you just enjoy playing victim and do your job, you are all adjusted by india in jobs and doles are provided to you. if you come back you will miss that all.
      TELL ME ONE THING IF YOU WANT TO COME BACK WHY YOU HAVE SOLD YOUR HOUSES.
      jammu dogras also have disowned you, they didnt vote your candidate in jammue, this is clear signal to you that the oly safe place in the world is your own kashmir
      dont disrespect your mother land, serve it and it will save you.
      aap loog jis thali me khate ho usi me chaid karte ho, stop ur anti kashmir activities and stop listeninging to your BJP masters

  • Posted By: jsemshu @ 01/17/2009 1:23:40 AM

    As I said somewhere else, repeating here:

    Obama was talking about involving the US in settling the Kashmir dispute. He had been influenced by the thinking of Ahmed Rashid, and was planning to put serious pressure on India. It was starting to look like Indo-US relations would be headed downhill very rapidly and the party for India would be over, and that Indians would soon be shown that they are not as important or relevant as they think they are, that the US doesn't need good relations with India at the cost of good relations with Pakistan and China.

    THings were looking bad for India.

    Then the Pakistanis attacked Bombay and the whole situation flipped on its head. All talk of envoys and US mediation disappeared. the pro-India, anti-pakistan sentiment in the US public soared.

    THere is now no question of any US mediation on Kashmir, and Pakistan can forget about getting any of the coddling Obama might have given it. This event has exposed to Obama that islamic terrorists operate openly in pakistan, that they are aided by the military and intelligence, that they are trained by ex military and intelligence, that the military and intelligence has no intention of reigning them in, that the civilian government has no power,and that these terrorists and the pakistani military's involvement for them will remain, even if Kashmir is solved.

    And even if Obama does think about US mediation, the bombay attacks have given India the resolve to tell him to go to hell for siding with islamic terrorists.

    In short, the bombay attacks have ended any chance of Obama getting involved on Kashmir.

    and oh yeah, Obama has surrounded himself with hardcore zionist jews like Rahm Emmanuel. He is considering a hindu for surgeon general. Secratary of State Hillary Clinton is very close to the Indian lobby. Biden is an old pro-India man. Kashmiris with high hopes of Obama because of his muslim father need to get a reality check about their fantasies about Obama
