1.5 lakh is base figure of missing Hindus & Sikhs from POJK in 1947. There were mass killings, mass rapes, suicides, abduction & selling of Hindu & Sikh women. Hindus & Sikhs completely disappeared from POJK. Yet the horrors & genocide was forgotten. Not just #TheKashmirFiles ImageImage What did Congress do?
Pt Nehru refused to meet multiple delegations of Mirpuris. Mahatma Gandhi insisted that Indian Army couldn’t be sent to save the Hindus & Sikhs in POJK because it was snowing in Mirpur. This despite Mirpuris telling him that it doesn’t snow in Mirpur.

I just came home after watching #TheKashmirFiles
It would be a lie if I said I am shocked or numb. I am a Dogra from Jammu Kashmir. We know. We have always known. I am just so relieved that now you also know. We knew in 1931 when Sheikh Abdullah who had recd higher education because of Maharaja Hari Singh’s scholarship stood on the pulpits of a Mosque and shouted Quit Kashmir targeting Dogras & the Hindu Dogra rule.

#TheKashmirFiles releases today. Please go and watch the truth of Kashmiri Pandits and Hindus of Jammu Kashmir. Then ask yourself :
- Why it took 32 years for truth to be told.
- Why media remained silent or whitewashed the truth like a Barkha Dutt. Image - Why agenda driven liars in the academia like Nivedita Menon (Pallavi Joshi’s character in the film) & “activists” like Arundhati Roy lied and mislead, even going to the extent of befriending the killer of Kashmiri Hindus Yasin Malik.

Dogra Lt Col Narain Singh of JK State Forces was betrayed by his Muslim officers of the 2 Muslim companies under him. On 21/22 Oct 1947 the Muslim element of 4th Battalion at Lohargali & Ramkot swept by religious fanaticism joined hands with the enemy. #ButchersOfKashmir Image They lead the enemy to pre arranged positions in Muzzafarabad & Domel.
They not only killed Lt Col Narain Singh Sambyal but also other comrades who stood in the way of their nefarious designs. This was the most treacherous & dastardly act in the annals of military history.

In a way I am glad with what is happening today. It is making me question everything. From my Convent school harassing me for being the only student with a pierced nose & my parents having to defend & explain that it’s an essential part of Dogra culture. Students being fined for speaking regional languages & not English, in the school playground, starkly different to multilingualism being celebrated in schools abroad. Those educated in vernacular medium disadvantaged & labelled Graain/Pendu/Ghaati/Bhaiya/illiterate etc.

Raghunath Mandir, Suchetgarh, is on zero point at the International Border in Jammu. The Mandir was built by Dogra Maharaja Gulab Singh in 1837. The Dogra Jamwal dynasty are Suryavanshi Rajput who trace their lineage to Ikshvaku dynasty & Vishnu Avatar Shri Ram is their Kuldevta. Beautiful wall paintings adorn the garbh griha of the Raghunath Mandir at Suchetgarh, Jammu.

A beautiful painting done by Jammu artist KK Gandhi depicting Krimchi Temples of Udhampur, #Jammu. Locally known as the Pandava Temples because of a belief that the Pandavas worshipped here during their agyat vaas. The Temples consist of 5 temples & 2 shrines.
#TemplesofJammu The Temples have a garbhagriha with curvilinear shikara & an elongated antarala with a sukanasika decorated with kutasikara & kalasa motif. Some temples have a pillared mandapa infront of antarala, which appears to have been added at a later date.

On #WorldHeritageDay I showcase the soul of #Dogra people & the epicentre of their modern history. The images will also reveal how if you want to squash a voice, you erase their history & self-esteem. This site has been a victim of loot, pillage & arson. #MubarakMandi #Jammu The #MubarakMandi Palace complex holds 300 yrs of Dogra history within itself. With over 20 palaces built over 200 years starting at 1710 it is unlike any other. From here the Dogra rulers reigned over their sprawling kingdom.

Picking up some lines from the book ‘Memory Lane to Jammu’ which describe #Jammu city - “Spread out like Rome, on seven low hillocks of the great Shivalik Range it extended from north to south in an undulating natural spread.” #AmazingJammu “During the summer nights, a cool breeze rose from the East around 10pm which we called dhidoo” - Rehmat Ullah Rad.

We hear of KP exodus from Kashmir.Not so much of the exodus from #JammuHills for similar reasons - Jihadi Terrorism which grips #JammuAndKashmir
Today I tell you abt a KP family who left the Valley during the tribal raids in 1947 & settled in #Jammu #Bhaderwah. The Koul family. The matriarch Smt Sukhmali Koul, made #Bhaderwah #Jammu her home & went onto become the first Lady teacher in the area, also setting up a school for girls. Giving back to her community, in the best way she could.

Hand on my heart I have been thinking of Dulat the last few weeks. Not just because of the brilliant tweet by @rahulpandita asking us to think abt Faesal & his trip to Delhi & back, but also because I have been wondering who has been pushing these separatists as opposed to Jammu. How are two bit KMs from the valley on TV Panels & no one from Jammu ever is.
How do only Kashmiri scholars/journalists reach the research & policy orgs, are groomed & become blue eyed boys/girls & Jammu remains unrepresented.
Why are seminar circuits dominated by KMs?
