As a Kashmiri Hindu American, January 19 marks a terrifying, painful, & tragic day. It was the day 31 years ago that Kashmiri Hindus were given three choices by Kashmiri Muslims & Islamic terrorists from Pakistan: either (1) convert to Islam, or (2) flee Kashmir and
leave everything you know behind, or (3) get murdered. The trauma and pain of that fateful day is within all Kashmiri Hindus no matter where in the world we now live. Today we solemnly commemorate the brave Kashmiri Hindu women and men who were murdered, raped, and maimed due to
religious bigotry, intolerance, & hate. We hope something this horrible never happens to any community again & we hope that someday we can return to our beautiful ancestral homeland of Kashmir without fear & apprehension. #Kashmir #KashmiriHinduExodus #KashmiriPanditGenocide

31 years later, the conspiracy continues

As the world marks the #KashmiriPanditGenocide of 1990 today, the so-called champions of Kashmir remain silent

Not a tweet from Omar Abdullah, whose father fled to London as Kashmiri's were being massacred, or PDP's Mehbooba Mufti

Few realize why Kashmiri Hindus mark 19th Jan, 1990 as their Day of Eternal Sorrow

Over 300 Hindus had ALREADY been massacred PRIOR to Jagmohan's arrival in Srinagar as J&K Governor that fateful day

JKLF & Hizb terrorists used mosque loudspeakers to urge people to rebels

(2/3)
All day loudspeakers blared and masked gunmen with AK-47s marched through the city urging people to defy curfew and prepare for Nizam-e-Mustafa

After the evening prayers, groups of local youth exited the mosques and marched around shouting anti-India AND communal slogans

A Thread: The #ExodusDay of #KashmiriHindus from Kashmir in 1990 on this day "19 January" is not something which can be forgotten. Lakhs of people left their land, their homes, their belongings and moved to survive from Pakistani sponsored Islamic fundamentalist attacks 1/n
The mass murder & terrorizing of non-Muslims in Kashmir was never ending. Sikhs or Hindus, all got brutally slaughtered under the name of Jihad against infidels (Non-Muslims). People lost their Homeland, culture, their institutions, and places of worship #KashmiriHinduExodus 2/n
It was not the first exodus of Kashmiri Hindus. It was the 7th exodus of Hindus from Kashmir. Before 1990, in 1986 also, lot of cultural, psychological and physical damage was done to Kashmiri Hindus. Here is a record from 1986. #KashmiriHinduExodus 3/n

19 January 1990 - "the nightmare that still haunts"

is one of the darkest days that #Kashmir has ever seen. With utmost sorrow, we take you to this page of Indian #History. The page that is filled with terror, rapes, massacre and countless nightmares. #KashmiriHinduExodus
31 years ago, the Kashmir valley witnessed a genocide of the #KashmiriHindus. Why did lakhs of Hindus have to face this genocide? The very basic reasons were that they were infidels. Because they did not believe in Islam. Because they did not wish to join with Pakistan.
What happened on that day? #KashmiriHindus were given three choices: Leave, Convert to Islam or Die. Mass murder, rapes, vandalism, what not; Kashmir, the place which once gave immense contribution to art, literature, spirituality and education, now witnessed all this.

YES, I watched #Shikara & I would ask everyone to watch it. Every1 who doesn't know about us or knows little about our pain should watch it. This was not a movie for me to review. #Shikara for me is the FIRST attempt to tell the world that KPs are alive & you all have let us down
I am going to speak a lot here but let me tell you, some moments in the movie are searing. They break your heart. But again, I am speaking about the likes of myself. When Shanti before leaving her home folds here hands in front of the gods, it reminds me of my mother.
The montage of real abandoned houses of #KashmiriPandits breaks your heart. The song in the background of this scene makes you cry. It leaves you heartbroken. Shanti's wish to write 'good news' even in an 8*8 camp is moving. Optimistic in the face of hopelessness.

1/n"Shikara" by #VidhuVinodChopra of @VVCFilms is without a doubt is guilty of heinous crime of trivializing genocide as displacement and attempting to reduce it to brotherly disagreement. Reaction of #DivyaRazdan @ResearchBharat a survivor is unsurprising
2/n This dishonest, roguish and cunning attempt to present utter lie in the movie and pass it on as history, by @rahulpandita and #VidhuVinodChopra is ridden with foul smell. There is no question that Mr. #VidhuVinodChopra is naïve, after all he is an industry veteran.
3/n Hmm, Industry veteran! maybe that’s what makes the entire endeavor smell the rat. Industry Veterans are gullible to questionable funding sources. That’s when one wonders, are @rahulpandita, and @VVCFilms #VidhuVinodChopra writer and producers? or are there ghosts involved?

It was 19th January, 2020- 30th Anniversary of #KashmiriHinduExodus when the PR companies geared up to promote #Shikara on SM with the filmmakers asking fellow Kashmiri Pandit’s to record videos with a dialogue from the movie and use #HumWapasAayenge
The dialogue ‘Haji Saab’ in these short videos on SM reeked opportunism by the filmmakers to promote #Shikara and unfortunately many KP’s fell for it. It was like trivialising the entire genocide by none other than the victims themselves. #HumWapasAayenge

@rahulpandita the writer of the movie #Shikara says he has an unsaid understanding with his Muslim friends to refrain from discussing the 1990 #KashmiriHinduExodus! Are you serious? What a hypocrite? How low can you sink just to promote your movie?
