This section contains original Kashmir Files content with orginal incident, read at your own risk.

Thread on Kashmiri Pandit Exodus with details that are less known.

It did not start on 19 Jan 1990, it started way back in September 1989 when Pandit Tika Lal Taploo

was shot dead in broad day light within 100 steps of his home in Bhan Mohala Sgr.

Barely three weeks after this murder in Srinagar, unknown gunmen shot and killed another Kashmiri Pandit (Kashmiri Hindu), retired Judge Nilakanth Ganjoo in broad day light in Maharaj Bazaar, Amira Kadal. He was a friend of my Uncle & used to visit him in JawaharNagar.

50 years ago, this week in 1971, the USA threatened India to stop the 1971 war. An alarmed India sent a SOS to the Soviet Union. A story that has been nearly erased from Indian history books.

When Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war seemed imminent,

Kissinger spurred Nixon to send the US 7th Fleet’s Task Force, led by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, to the Bay of Bengal.

The USS Enterprise, at 75k ton, was the world's largest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the 70s with more than 70 fighter aircraft

A monster. The Indian Navy’s fleet was led by the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, Vikrant, with 20 light fighter aircraft.

- Prove to the world that giving up nuclear weapons is a BAD, BAD idea. Have more people scurrying for procuring them.
- Upend Europe's stability and economy

- Reinitiate Cold War (Yes, you'll blame it on Putin, but Putin was around when Trump was there too?)
- Get Russia firmly in China's quadrant
- Get China more confident about taking Taiwan
- With a Quad still nascent, put India is the horns of dilemma

- Leave Israel, UAE & KSA shaky wrt Iran
- Legitimise Iran's ambitions
- Have North Korea shooting missiles daily
- Now South Korea will be seeking nuclear weapons too
- All the above makes China look weaker? Or the opposite?
- Be it Afghanistan, Ukraine...

Many nationalists off-late feel that Modi administration is either too slow or not taking any action on dissenters with vicious agenda. Also on political forces abetting anti-India & break India elements within the country because of which, they, they all, have become emboldened.

This thought, I suppose, although looks credible for want of 'visible' action on them despite voluminous evidences of their blatant wrong doings, is purely speculative. I say it is speculative since we do not really know as to what is happening behind scenes.

For one, Modi is NOT a silent observer. He is constantly thinking in silence. And two, his methods are beyond our imagination since, he takes actions based on long-term effects of his actions and NOT just quick-fix solution to our complex problems.
