It's no wonder that Sanjay Kak, a dear friend of terrorist Yasin Malik, published this piece on #TheKashmirFiles in Al Jazeera of all places. He is a Delhiite who was neither born nor raised in Kashmir and has never experienced the fear of targeted killings and persecution.
4000 families still live there? Out of hundreds of thousands that left? That's a win? You don't even mention how they're still under attack and being killed today? Have you forgotten the 4 bullets pumped into Bal Krishan Bhat's body just last week?
Your talking about your relatives, your kin, Mr. Kak. How many should be in Kashmir today and how many faced exodus? You want to quibble about 200,00 or 500,000? What number means something to you? What number equals exodus? Inexplicable bean counting.
This really troubles you, Mr Kak? You weren't there so you can't confirm that BK Ganju’s body was desecrated? The fact that he was murdered in front of his wife, while hiding, and after being given up by a neighbor, is not enough? This is your quibble with your community's story?
Your community’s return to its homeland, a Hindu migration, is a “truth” too dangerous for you? We're already dispossessed and so many of your kin were killed. What is more dangerous than that, Mr Kak?

Two weeks ago, journalist Raqib Naik maliciously distorted a tweet and tagged my medical practice & hospital. I asked him to delete the false tweet.

Naik refused & I've been deluged with hateful comments since. My lawyer sent this letter that outlines the chronology of events:
First, Raqib lied saying I called for genocide. Now he lies again saying I called for “mass” retribution.

This deceit has led to vicious attacks and Raqib is doubling down today, leading to another avalanche of hate on #RamNavami of all days.
If Raqib is a journalist & wondered what I meant by “retribution” he could’ve contacted me. I would have explained that I meant retributive justice by bringing to court the terrorists that killed family members & caused the exodus of my family.

Instead Raqib chose to vilify me.

This is how my mama ji (uncle) escaped a bullet from Bitta Karate and is still alive today. I have not told this story before. #TheKashmirFiles #KashmirFiles 1/n
Before Farooq Ahmed Dar became a psychopath terrorist, he was just another kid with a pet name of Bitta who used to play cricket in Srinagar with my family. My uncle even gave him money for school. 2/n
After Bitta returned from terror training in PoK, he was given orders to assassinate my uncle. Bitta had another JKLF terrorist watch my uncle leave his home for work, walking through an intersection in Haba Kadal. The plan was to shoot my uncle from behind at close range. 3/n

As a Kashmir native, I'm shocked that @HarvLRev actually platformed, then whitewashed, a terrorist ideology that cleansed my family and 400,000 others from Kashmir. Do you realize @HarvLRev that deploying the "Settler/Colonial" binary is killing Hindus & Muslims right now? 1/
While the thesis of the article @HarvLRev printed is horrific & actually violent, the logical fallacies & rhetoric are glaring.
The abstract argues that abrogation of 370 unleashed a settler/colonial project, but then says that the Article's impact was "de minimis!" 2/
Not a single mention @HarvLRev that every US administration since Clinton has blasted Pakistan for a proxy war against India by arming and training terrorists in Kashmir. No mention of the ISIS presence there. You erase the very source of terrorism that killed my relatives!

I see that @Hindus4HR is at its usual attention-seeking game: attack @HinduAmerican to curry favor with Islamist @IAMCouncil & @EqualityLabs and try to get noticed.
How far will they go? They will demean our saints and slander the Gita. Yes, that far. 1/n
If you want to be a useful idiot for Hinduphobes, that's a choice you make. But to perpetuate the miasma that caste discrimination is intrinsic to Hindu practice--while quoting our Hindu scripture? That is irredeemably revolting and insulting. 2/n
There is a reason that the guru-sishya parampara is privileged in Hindu tradition. For only that spiritual grounding could prevent the disastrous hermeneutic misadventures that @Hindus4HR/@SadhanaHindus serve up in their rush to please their masters. Some examples? Here goes: 3/n

No, @AudreyTruschke, as a board member of HAF, I can confirm that your name was never discussed as part of a coordinated attack, nor ever been brought up at the board level. Any such accusations are defamatory. It’s actually you who has been involved in targeted harassment. (1/3)
You @AudreyTruschke have mocked Hindu texts, claimed Lord Rama was a misogynistic pig, that rape & “rape culture” were endemic to Hinduism, portrayed Hindus as bizarre “cow piss” drinkers, taught students that Hinduism is inherently oppressive, racist, and violent. (2/3)
Such vitriolic anti-Hindu bigotry, which no religion should experience from a so-called academic, has consequences. You reap what you sow, and we’re proud of @RutgersU Hindu students who are holding you accountable for your blatant #Hinduphobia (3/3)

#Breaking: #ChicagoIndiaResolution slamming India, introduced by @chialderwoman fails. Chicago’s Indian/Hindu community was galvanized against the biased resolution and good sense prevailed. (1/3)
Just before the resolution failed, Alderwoman Hadden recommended a piece in the @chicagotribune by @nausheenhussain to influence vote. Note the obvious bias/Hinduphobia under “” & denial of the murder of 52 Hindu pilgrims. This is the erasure Chicago Hindus faced. (2/3)
This is the erasure that my family faced when she mentions Kashmir, but without recording the ethnic cleansing of my family by Islamist terrorists. Dear @chialderwoman, my family has lived in Chicago since 1971, when we were forced out of Kashmir. Our story matters. (3/3)
