One of our own has been killed yet again by terrorists in Kashmir. This time Makhan Lal Bindroo in Srinagar. He had stayed back even after the onset of terrorism in 1990. Freedom to kill, in the name of Islam, is what they call Azadi. I wonder which label the narrative builders will give to the killing of Makhan Lal Bindroo by terrorists in Srinagar. They had termed the earlier Pandit killings in Kashmir as 'political killings'. Of course, veneering jihad through obfuscation.

Thirty-one years ago, on this day, first Hindu killing of Pandit Tika Lal Taploo by Islamists happened in Kashmir. This would be followed by killings of many Hindus which resulted in ethnic cleansing of the entire Hindu community from Kashmir. Never forget. The Hindus of Kashmir were targeted for their immense faith in their gods and their unshakeable loyalty to India. The 'soldiers' of Islam viewed them as impediment to the goal of 'Azadi'. Hence the brutal killings and rapes of their womenfolk in the name of Islam.

All roads lead to homeland. #Kashmir Our centuries old faith. This is one of its many manifestations. Zyestha Devi. Zeethyar, Srinagar. #Kashmir
