Dissecting the text on KASHMIR in the NCERT Class 12 Political Science Textbook.

Be prepared to be shocked.
According to Page 157, the Congress Party exercised influence over the politics in the state from 1953-1975, frequently dismissing elected governments.

The led the people in the state to lose confidence in democratic process.
So according to the book, inefficient administration + lack of confidence in democracy lead to the rise of INSURGENCY.
And suddenly this led to the demand for a separate Kashmiri Nation?

Why does the book not mention the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley?
By glossing over the ethnic cleansing of the valley, the massacre and rapes during the exodus and the communal slogans and hated faced by the Hindu minority.

By glossing over the fact that over 5 Lakh Kashmiri Hindus were forced to become refugees in their own country.
Why does the NCERT brutally ignore the plight of Kashmiri Hindus?

Why does the book not talk about the various terror outfits operating the valley?

Why does the book not talk about the role of Radical Islamic Terrorism of the Hindi Exodus?
Despite having the power in the centre and having control of the state at the time, why is the Congress Party not held accountable for the exodus, while the text subtly coerces the reader to believe that the army controlled the valley?
Why does the NCERT hide realities and teach half-truths to the youth?
