Not just inaccurate, but cruel and evil on so many levels. Here's why...

1️⃣ They say the genocide of Kashmir Pandits are a "false claims". This is no different than denying the Holocaust for Jews, and no less hateful. Moreover, no reference is provide for this statement except for a self-referential link.

2️⃣They simply say 100K Pandits "left" the valley. "left" is a voluntary act like when someone"left" a boring movie. This is like saying Native Americans "left" their lands for White settlers. No mention they were FORCED through systematic death threats, killings & rape.

3️⃣ Their whole language is victim-blaming, saying that Pandits had "privilege" & therefore oppressors who deserved their fate. This is the same language used by White supremacists against Jews claiming #JewPrivilege, or by Nazi's in the 30s to justify their final solution.

Denying the well-documented cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir is insidious, especially coming from educated "scholars". Invalidating the lived experience of living Hindu survivors is beyond "academic dishonesty". It's hate for Hindus, pure and simple.
So what can be done?

We can't undo the genocide of Kashmir Hindus in 1990, but we can stop these bigots from indoctrinating another generation. We owe it to the memory of the Hindus who were killed.
