Part 1, Ancient and Middle Republican Kashmir

Image
Kashmiri Saraswat Brahmins/Kashmiri Pandits - 1890 Part 1, Ancient and Middle Republican Kashmir By : Shivansh Ganjoo "Look, A dallya batta walking." It became a common sentence on the lips of Kashmiri Muslims whenever they saw a Kashmiri Pandit walking on the streets. This became very common during the time of 89-90s. By January of 1990, we were shown guns, we were threatened and forced to leave our roots. Forced to leave our homes. Forced to leave the valley. Today, while watching a debate on the "News Hour" on Times Now, moderated by Arnab Goswami, whenever A Kashmiri Pandit and Kashmiri Muslim come face to face, we are referred to as cowards. They laugh on us and say that we showed cowardliness and fled the valley, when a ''peaceful'' struggle for independence was going on. Unfortunately, by the due course of time, we have been labelled as cowards and most of us are not bothered about it. Why ? Because we have mixed with other cultures
