Horrific Serial massacres in Kashmir: Is history repeating itself?

Sindujaa D N

Since the early 2000s, Hindus and Sikhs, a minority community in kashmir, have endured acute insecurity. In the 2000s, at least 50 members of these two minority groups were killed in two separate attacks. The recent assassination of seven persons in kashmir, including non-Muslims, has evoked memories of the 1990s. Kashmiri Pandits, or Kashmiri-speaking Hindus, departed the kashmir Valley during this time and began to settle in neighbouring regions.


Although many Kashmiri Pandits have departed the state since the armed war began in 1990, more than 800 families have chosen to remain. Sanjay Dikku, 53, is a Kashmiri Pandit who has remained in Kashmir. I was expelled from my home in srinagar and placed in a motel by the authorities. Sanjay Dikku asked on social media how we can live in such a terrifying scenario. Sanjay Dikku is a member of the Kashmiri Pandit Sankarsh Samiti. Sanjay holds the government responsible for the 2003 death of more than 20 Kashmiri Pandits in Pulwama district's Nadimark hamlet. Years ago, I issued a warning. However, he claims that the authorities would not keep a watch on ML Bindru until he is dead.


Three homicides in a single day

Unidentified gunmen shot and killed McCann Lal Bindru, the owner of a prominent pharmacy store in srinagar, last Tuesday. In separate events on the same day, a Hindu from bihar and a Kashmiri Muslim driver were assassinated. In srinagar, two Kashmiri Muslims were slain earlier. Bindra's assassination, according to M.L. Hindus, is reminiscent of the Nadimark massacre. More than 30 Sikh peasants were massacred in Siddisingh Bora village in anantnag district in march 2001.


His funeral attendees demonstrated by laying his body in front of the State Secretariat. terrorists assassinated our daughter. Who will be the one to bring us justice? Those who kill those who don't know anything should be shot, according to one protester. Sikh religious leader Jagmohan Singh Raina has called on Sikh workers to boycott work until the government assures minorities' safety.

The congress and BJP-led governments' efforts

Even when the congress and the bharatiya janata party were in power, Kashmiri Pandits' attempts to return to kashmir were futile. The indian government declared in 2009 that Pandits returning to kashmir Valley will be provided with safe housing and jobs. Following that, roughly 5,000 Kashmiri Pandits returned to their homeland.


The majority of them went to work for the government, primarily in the sphere of education. Since the february 14, 2019 attack in kashmir, in which more than 40 members of the indian security forces were killed, relations between india and pakistan have been strained. In less than a week, the indian Air Force launched an attack inside pakistan, capturing and returning indian Air Force pilot Abhinandan. Since both parties agreed to a ceasefire in february 2003, clashes have escalated along the 700-kilometre Line of Control (LoC).

Is Article 370's repeal a source of violence?

Some Kashmiri commentators believe that India's policy actions have exacerbated the current security situation. Satish Magaldar, the head of the Pandits' Organization for Religious Reconciliation, Reconciliation, and Rehabilitation, said those who cheered the division of Jammu and Kashmir's autonomy should now explain why people are being slain.


After the removal of Section 370 of the Constitution, harsh curfews, travel, and telecommunications restrictions were implemented in Kashmir. He claims that a government website set up for pundits to register complaints about their assets has strained relations between the pundits and the general public. Occupations and forcible property purchases have occurred in various areas. The website can assist in resolving those issues. However, most of the pundits have legitimately sold their homes. They've been thoroughly investigated by the authorities. The government has given him notice that he must vacate the premises. Satish informed social media that we need more social security than military security.

Two major blunders


Kashmir The recent attacks, according to Pandit leaders, are the result of two significant organisational and communal failings. Until 2016, areas in kashmir occupied by resettled Pandits were provided protection. After multiple incidences of extremists taking weaponry, Satish claims that security was cut off. After the killings of civilians, the majority of people in kashmir must have struggled in some way. He claims that if such attacks are intended at eroding social cohesion, the majority community's tranquilly is jeopardised. In kashmir, Islamists make up the majority of the population.
