“Kashmir mei agar rehna hai, Allah-O-Akbar kehna hai (Want to stay in Kashmir? say Allah-O-Akbar)”.

One must be indebted for @vivekagnihotri for bringing out the plight of #KashmiriPandits who are refugees in their own land.

“Yahan kya chalega, Nizam-e-Mustafa
(What do we want here? Rule of Shariat)”.

“Asi gachchi Pakistan, Batao roas te Batanev san (We want Pakistan along with Hindu women but without their men)”.

It was 19th January, 1990..at Rishi Kashyapa's Kashmir....

On the loudspeakers instead of Azan,
the hysterical cry by
Slamic Jahadis
CHALIV (Escape)
GALIV (Die)
RALIV (Convert)

were announced...

It was an Ultimatum given towards NATIVE HINDUS BY OUTSIDER MUSLIMS.

The day marked the beginning of the genocide and ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits on a mass scale that ultimately culminated
in the complete exodus of the people that represented a civilisation that was more than 5,000 years old.

In 1989, the then chief minister of J&K, Farooq Abdullah, had ordered the release of around 70 terrorists between July and December 1989. They had been trained in terrorist
camps in Pakistan-occupied J&K.

The top four among them were Hamid Sheikh, Ashfaq Wani, Javed Mir and Yasin Malik. They played a major role in promoting insurgency and creating an anti-Hindu atmosphere in the Valley, which made Kashmiri Hindus flee the Valley. The madrasas
financed and run by the Jamait-e-Islami also contributed to the radicalisation of the youth in the Valley.

By the end of 1989, the demand to establish the Islamic dominion in the Kashmir Valley and separate it from India had hit the peak. On the evening of 19 January 1990,
pro-Pak sloganeering started from mosques in the Valley and mobs started gathering. Posters came up, asking Hindus to either convert to Islam, join the separatists or leave their homes.

Until then, Hindus of Kashmir believed their Muslim brothers won't hurt them,
!slam Derrorism is only in Pak and POK.

But it was their Childhood friends, colleagues & neighbours who became demons for their lives.

Meanwhile, most of the Hindu’s houses were burnt down in the Valley and whatever was left of their movable properties was looted.
The targeting of Hindus began in late 1989. The first to be killed was Pandit Tika Lal Taploo, a prominent leader of the Kashmiri Hindu Pandit community: he was gunned down in broad daylight outside his home in front of several eyewitnesses by terrorists but no one was ever
charged.

Four months later, on 4 January 1990, Aftab, a local Urdu newspaper in Srinagar, runs a press release issued by the Pakistan based terrorist outfit Hizbul Mujahideen, proclaiming jihad and asking all Hindus to leave the valley. Walls are plastered with posters asking
Hindus to leave Kashmir, homes of Hindus are dotted red to identify them & Hindu women are forced to sport marks on their foreheads (tilak); masked men with Kalashnikovs roam the streets, forcing people to reset their watch & clocks to Pakistan Standard Time.

At the beginning
of the 20th century there were close to 1 million Kashmiri Pandits. Today not more than 9,000 Pandits remain; some put the figure even lower at 3,000. Kashmiri Hindus made up 15% of the population in 1941. By 1991, their numbers had dwindled to comprise a mere 0.1%.
In January 2013, when this picture was taken, retired government employee Omkarnath Bhat, then 75 years old, was the only Kashmiri Pandit remaining in Haal village of Shopian in South Kashmir. Haal was once home to over 100 Kashmiri Pandit families.

These are the stark
facts that tell the tale of the Kashmiri Hindu. When the population of a specific community is decimated by fear from over 1 million to less than 10,000 and now constitutes a bare 0.1% of the population, there is only one word to describe it: ETHNIC CLEANSING.

History tells us about Mangal Pandey, but not #ChakkiKuntia, the priest for the Hindu Sepoys who rebelled against British in the war of 1857...

Isn't it surprising to know that this priest belonged to Puri Jagannath Mandir?

Does anybody knows that, he was the family priest or ImageImageImage
Panda of Meropanth, the father of Manubai/Manikarnika who was renamed Laxmibai after her marriage to Gangadhar Rao, the king of Jhansi.

Chakhi Khuntia was born on the eve of the sacred Shamba Dasami in Puri in the year 1827. His father, Raghunath Khuntia, was a devotee of
Bhagwan Jagannath. He named his son Chandan Hajuri, after the sandal paste (Chandan) with which he used to dress the Bhagwan at the moment of his birth.

His mother was Kamalabati. After early education in his village, he learned Sanskrit from Pandit Harihar Brahma.

#UNHEARD

He asked the PM if two different Nehrus reside in him—the idealist of 1926, who was moved to tears by the plight of the British working class or the PM of 1960, unmoved by the tearful appeals of his own employees.

Story of an Unsung MP, Barrister Nath Pai (1922-1971) ImageImageImage
whose research-backed speeches shook Nehru.

Pai may not be a name read too often in history books, but in parts of Maharashtra, especially the Konkan region comprising Ratnagiri and Sindhudurg, his loss is still mourned by people. He is widely hailed as the man who championed
the cause of the Konkan railway, who toiled to ensure facilities such as roads and post-offices in the remote areas of the region, and who brought attention to his Lok Sabha constituency with his dazzling debates and arguments inside Parliament.

Was reading about recently died Hyderabad Nizam Mukharram Jah & found this interesting part of history which nobody wants to tell.

Following the partition of India, Mir Osman Ali Khan, the then reigning Nizam and Mukarram Jah's grandfather, wished to remain independent,
much against the wishes of the local populace.

Pakistan actively supported the Nizam, hoping it could be the third subregion of Pakistan — East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) was the second.

Anticipating a military action from India, Osman Ali Khan sought arms and weapons from
Pakistan. To procure the weapons, Nizam's finance minister, Moin Nawaz Jung, transferred a sum of £1,007,490 and nine shillings to the account of Pakistan's High Commissioner, Habib Ibrahim Rahimtoola, in National Westminster Bank, London.

#LegendsOfBharath

#RudrapatnamShamashastry
The #Mahamahopadyaya who discovered Chanakya’s Arthashastra.

On his Jayanti a tribute to the legendary #Kannadiga who proved Bharatiya Civilization had robust Ancient Political & Economic policy & not copied from Greek as Europeans
claimed.
R Shamashastry’s modern translation of Arthashastra is a prescribed text at Harvard, Yale and Oxford for students of Political Science, International Relations and Economics today.
Until this discovery, the Arthashastra was known only through references to it in works,
including those by Dandin, Bana, Vishnusarma, Mallinathasuri, Megasthenes, as well as others. This discovery was "an epoch-making event in the history of the study of ancient Indian polity".

It altered the perception of Ancient Bharath and changed the course of history studies,

As usual, somebody at Left Rag "The Hindu", didn't like him expose Christian Convert Pandita Ramabai in his novel "Indira", which incidentally happens to be one of the earliest novels in Navodaya Sahitya in Kannada.
