Hand on my heart I have been thinking of Dulat the last few weeks. Not just because of the brilliant tweet by @rahulpandita asking us to think abt Faesal & his trip to Delhi & back, but also because I have been wondering who has been pushing these separatists as opposed to Jammu.
How are two bit KMs from the valley on TV Panels & no one from Jammu ever is.
How do only Kashmiri scholars/journalists reach the research & policy orgs, are groomed & become blue eyed boys/girls & Jammu remains unrepresented.
Why are seminar circuits dominated by KMs?
How do regional & anti Jammu papers continue to run despite being boycotted in Jammu?
Why is a Shehla who most don’t know in JK getting so much attention.
Why js a joker like Faesal who asked for a Nobel Peace Prize for Imran Khan hailed as an answer to a prayer.
Why is Jammu not important.
I had asked this to AS Dulat in London once & he had laughed & said Jammu is not going anywhere.
Farooq Abdullah had laughed at the same quest & said, who wants Jammu.
Well ofcourse Jammu is not that cream pie, that retirement plan.
Last laugh is on the people who were supporting a Shehla or a Faesal.
Last laugh is on the real people of JK, who have been used.
And if appeasement 2.0 will continue at the cost of the real stakeholders, at the cost of #Jammu nothing will change. #JammuAndKasmir
Additionally one wondered why #Jammu entreprenuers were struggling while the ones in Kashmir who were openly anti-India being funded, felicitated and opening up businesses in Jammu.

1.5 lakh is base figure of missing Hindus & Sikhs from POJK in 1947. There were mass killings, mass rapes, suicides, abduction & selling of Hindu & Sikh women. Hindus & Sikhs completely disappeared from POJK. Yet the horrors & genocide was forgotten. Not just #TheKashmirFiles ImageImage
What did Congress do?
Pt Nehru refused to meet multiple delegations of Mirpuris. Mahatma Gandhi insisted that Indian Army couldn’t be sent to save the Hindus & Sikhs in POJK because it was snowing in Mirpur. This despite Mirpuris telling him that it doesn’t snow in Mirpur.
On 23rd November Professor Balraj Madhok and Premnath Dogra met with Brigadier Paranjpe of the Indian Army in Jammu who sympathised with them but told them that their instructions were that there could be no troop movement in Jammu Kashmir without Sheikh Abdullah’s permission.

I just came home after watching #TheKashmirFiles
It would be a lie if I said I am shocked or numb. I am a Dogra from Jammu Kashmir. We know. We have always known. I am just so relieved that now you also know.
We knew in 1931 when Sheikh Abdullah who had recd higher education because of Maharaja Hari Singh’s scholarship stood on the pulpits of a Mosque and shouted Quit Kashmir targeting Dogras & the Hindu Dogra rule.
We knew because in 1947 the entire POJ (Mirpur, Kotli, Bhimber to Muzzafarabad belt) was annihilated of its Hindus & Sikhs. Women jumping into Kishenganga river after throwing their children first. Thousands were killed, women abducted, raped & sold by Pakistanis.

#TheKashmirFiles releases today. Please go and watch the truth of Kashmiri Pandits and Hindus of Jammu Kashmir. Then ask yourself :
- Why it took 32 years for truth to be told.
- Why media remained silent or whitewashed the truth like a Barkha Dutt. Image
- Why agenda driven liars in the academia like Nivedita Menon (Pallavi Joshi’s character in the film) & “activists” like Arundhati Roy lied and mislead, even going to the extent of befriending the killer of Kashmiri Hindus Yasin Malik.
- Why the British Parliamentarians have stood on the wrong side of the Kashmir debate on the behest of their Pakistani Punjabi origin constituents.
- Why Justice still remains to be done.

Dogra Lt Col Narain Singh of JK State Forces was betrayed by his Muslim officers of the 2 Muslim companies under him. On 21/22 Oct 1947 the Muslim element of 4th Battalion at Lohargali & Ramkot swept by religious fanaticism joined hands with the enemy. #ButchersOfKashmir Image
They lead the enemy to pre arranged positions in Muzzafarabad & Domel.
They not only killed Lt Col Narain Singh Sambyal but also other comrades who stood in the way of their nefarious designs. This was the most treacherous & dastardly act in the annals of military history.
The 4th Battalion had the best Hindu-Muslim unity among all ranks. They had fought shoulder to shoulder against the Japanese and would eat from one langar, food cooked by a team of cooks belonging to both the communities.

In a way I am glad with what is happening today. It is making me question everything. From my Convent school harassing me for being the only student with a pierced nose & my parents having to defend & explain that it’s an essential part of Dogra culture.
Students being fined for speaking regional languages & not English, in the school playground, starkly different to multilingualism being celebrated in schools abroad. Those educated in vernacular medium disadvantaged & labelled Graain/Pendu/Ghaati/Bhaiya/illiterate etc.
Religious study a subject taught in primary & secondary schools in UK as opposed to convoluted ideas of secularism which shame practicing Hindus and reduce & ridicule Dharmic traditions.

Raghunath Mandir, Suchetgarh, is on zero point at the International Border in Jammu. The Mandir was built by Dogra Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1837. The Dogra Jamwal dynasty are Suryavanshi Rajput who trace their lineage to Ikshvaku dynasty & Vishnu Avatar Shri Ram is their Kuldevta.
Beautiful wall paintings adorn the garbh griha of the Raghunath Mandir at Suchetgarh, Jammu.
Mandir’s garbh griha also bears the marks of two mortars fired by Pakistan that landed on the Temple in the Indo-Pak war of 1971.
