MASSACRE OF KASHMIRI PANDITS
(PART
1 of 3)
The
Muslim terrorists operating under multiple forms of incarnations like Jammu
and Kashmir Liberation Front, Muslim Janbaz Force, Ul Umur, Al Burq, Hizbul
Mujahideen, Al Jehad, Ikhwan-ul-Muslim et al sharing visceral
hatred against Kashmiri Pandits subjected them to intimidation, panic,
rape, murder and sexual assault with a view to exterminating them from
the soil of Kashmir. In sheer violation of universally accepted charter
of rights and law as couched in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
and other international covenants the terrorists debased, dehumanised and
brutalised the cultured and moderate community of Kashmiri Pandits by destructing
and killing them in a punitive war. In heaping death and destruction on
them, the terrorists pursue the objective of dismemberment of the state
from the Indian liberal democratic order for a new political alignment
based on religion. Terror was created and violence propagated to obliterate
dissent and opposition to the formulated goals of the terrorists. The elements
that were deemed inimical to the terrorist campaign have been liquidated
with impunity and subjected to an untold orgy of Nazi-type torture and
persecution. Waves of communalism have been fanned and fuelled thereby
polarising the Kashmiri society for furtherance of political ends. The
Kashmiri Pandits as a distinct ethno-religious group have been under a
conspiracy targetted, maimed and butchered in groups and put to detestable
forms of violence and brutality to destruct the Indian support planks to
materialist the secessionist goal thus flagrantly violating and transgressing
their inherent political rights and freedoms.
As an indoctrinated
breed churned out from the Muslim seminaries of hate, fanaticism and religious
bigotry the Muslim terrorists launched an all-out religious crusade against
the non-Muslim ethnic groups directed to the end product of establishing
an Islamic state placed on the foot stool of Shariat (Islamic Law) which
reduces the ethnic and religious minorities to the exiles of a gulag deprived
of human rights and human dignity. They through the dynamics of a religious
war are in the quest of pan-Islamic theme and vision of ascendancy of Islam
and the sociopolitical system bearing its seal and sanction at the expense
of religion and faith espoused by minority groups and subgroups. The militarized
Islam is not chasing political goals alone but is rivetting its
sights on religious objectives too. The forcible imposition of a particular
religion along with its socio-political order on an ethnic minority harbouring
its own set of beliefs and forms of worship is violative of human rights
and essential freedoms that flow from them.
With the shared
ideology and agenda of thrusting a second partition on India and transforming
the state of Jammu and Kashmir into an Islamic state, the Muslim terrorists
have lost no time in spotting their political and religious enemies in
the Hindu minorities especially the Kashmiri Pandits. Politically the Kashmiri
Pandits repose full faith in and are unflinching supporters of the secular
polity of India and as such do not subscribe to any trend of thought and
wave of movement aiming at snapping the historical, cultural and political
ties of the state with indict. It is pertinent to put that they have made
no mean contributions to the dynamics of growth, development and consolidation
of democratic and secular order and political and economic humanism allied
with it and as a patriotic force have bitterly opposed the constitutional
barriers which have generated the vicious and baneful forces of separatism
and fundamentalism in Kashmir. In matters of religion the Pandits with
the chequered history of torture and persecution at the hands of Muslims
have rejected the antediluvian tendencies breeding religious perversion
and paranoia and are wedded to the Indian discourse of allowance for tolerance
and non-conformity and stand for full flow of freedom for every individual
to preach and practice his religion. They have not only mocked at but held
in utter contempt the Islamic police enforcing codes and fatwas (religious
decrees).
The Kashmiri
Pandits have vigorously fought the secessionist forces seeking the placement
of Jammu and Kashmir outside the political and constitutional umbrella
of India. They fought the Plebiscite Front which as an organisaistion strove
for and was pledged to the secession of the state for its emergence as
the personal fiefdom of the Sheikh dynasty. After the Plebiscite Front
as a result of political developments was deemed to have lost its political
relevance and was disbanded, the condemnation of Pandits and hateful thrust
against them did not come to end and as always they were maligned and projected
as the enemies of the Muslim secessionist goals and ambitions. They were
abhorred and projected as the "sworn enemies" and concerted efforts were
set afoot to marginalise them for the fact that they stood for the fuller
merger and integration of the state with the Union of India. The Muslim
identity of Kashmir to the exclusion of diverse ethno-religious minorities
as an essential cog in the processes of total Islamisation pursued at state
level was exposed to the shreds by the Pandit minority. That is why they
have been branded as the inveterate enemies of Muslim identity which is
being perceived under constant threat from India harbouring a Muslim population
equivalent to that of Pakistan.
With their
well-known positions on politics and religion the Kashmiri Pandits as such
have been opposed to any movement for Kashmir's annexation with Pakistan
and are equally inimical to the retrograde Muslim programme of pushing
the state into the lap of rabid fundamentalism and they, therefore, as
a resisting force were mercilessly massacred and eliminated in hundreds.
Some of the killed were engineers while some held positions in administrative
setup. Some victims of genocide were teachers with remarkable achievements
in the domain of learning and creative thinking while some pursued legal
profession. A Hindu scientist who was brutalised to death had a number
of research papers to his credit while another was a highbrow intellectual
with enormous studies in the realms of philosophy. Some of the killed ran
groceries while others held ordinary jobs hardly making two ends meet.
Even a mad person was not spared. Most of the victims to the Muslim massacre
were innocent and peace-loving people who had lived in penury and had been
denied opportunities under the policy of discrimination which was institutionalised
by a system dominated by the Muslims.
As a weak and
unarmed religio-ethnic group the Muslim terrorists put them to a mass massacre
and had their not been prompted by their "race-memory", a repertoire of
past history of their persecution, to buzz off their natural habitat, the
terrorists, wildly frenzied and bent upon their destruction and decimation,
would have finished them off as a species.
Terror was
created through threats, bomb-blasts, rumours and apochryphal allegations
and the terror machine was so endemic that every man, woman and child became
vulnerable. No Pandit felt safe from the penumbra of violence and terror.
Kashmir for the hapless Hindus was reduced to a killing field which was
prowled about by communal and terrorist hyenas.
It was not
only in violation of the canons of ethics and morality that Kashmiri Pandits
as a miniscule minority were cruelly killed and tortured but also in utter
disregard of decent and civilised political deporment recognised by the
Charter of Human Rights Declaration and several other international agreements.
The killings were monstrous and barbaric paling the killings of Jews by
the Nazis into a triviality. The Pandits were abducted front homes, work-places
or streets and tortured and killed to the brutal ecstasy of their tormentors.
The terrorists butchered them even in their homes in the presence of their
defenceless and hapless inmates. Labelling them as "informers" and "agents
of India", they were killed in large numbers without any considerations
of age, vocation and political commitments. It is a genocide of Hindus
for the political commitments that they harboured and the religion that
they espoused. As members of a community with a tremendous history in time
they have been bodily and mentally harmed and injured and conditions have
been created to bring about their death and destruction. The terrorists
have not concealed their first resolve to destroy the Kashmiri Pandits
not only as political opponents but also as religious enemies. They have
generated tremendous mass support for the genocide of Pandits through the
Mosque Committees, plethora of Islamic organizations and Quranic Schools
run by the Jamaat-i-lslami.
The horrendous
torture deaths brought about by a resort to barbaric methods will cause
a shiver down the spine of the worst Hitlerites. Burning cigarettes were
applied to the naked bodies of Kashmiri Pandits. Boiling wax was poured
on highly sensitive parts of their bodies. Nails were driven into their
foreheads. Their eye-balls were gouged out and tongues chopped off. Male
genitals were cut off. Private parts and breasts of women were hewn open.
Women were ripped into two equal parts on a wood-slicing machine. Gangrapes
were resorted to. Bellies were ripped open for entrails to spill out. Hairs
from the heads were plucked out. They were hanged and bullets pumped into
their bodies. Kidneys were extracted from the victims and offered to their
parents to chew them at pain of death. Brains were hammered. All barbaric.
Torture deaths
have been brought about by the following cruel and savage practices:
1. Hanging
2. Burning
alive
3. Strangulation
by steel wires
4. Draining
of blood in hospitals
5. Drowning
alive
6. Beating
to death
7. Dragging
to death
8. Breaking
of body parts
9. Dismemberment
of body
10. Slicing
11. Fleecing
12. Gouging
of eye balls
13. Branding
with red-hot iron bars
14. Impaling
15. Slaughter
In absence of government computations about the killings of Kashmiri Pandits, Sikhs and other Hindus, private agencies and non-government organizations have put the number of Hindus of all shades who have been killed at 2,500 out of which Kashmiri Pandits stand out with a figure of eighteen hundred and odd. The Report submitted to the National Human Rights Commission by PKM has put the figures of killed Pandits at 319 till October, 1990. B.N. Nissar, editor of the Kashyapvani, has issued out a list of 765 Kashmiri Pandits who were brutally massacred. As per him twenty two ladies were raped and killed, sixty-six males were kidnapped and released which included Vijay Koul, director of the Regional Institute of Science and Technology and Dr. A.K. Dhar, director of the Regional Research Laboratory, eighteen were hanged to death, twenty-five ladies were raped and let off, eight were strangulated, hundred twenty- four were kidnapped and killed and sixty were critically wounded and died for want of media laid. No fewer than fifty seven sikhs have been killed. It is said that many a mass massacre of Kashmiri Pandits of Sangrampora dimension was suppressed and not leaked to the press under the instuructions of the then Home Minister of India.
The following
persons belonging to the minority community of Hindus especially the Kashmiri
Pandits as infidels have been tortured and killed by the methods mentioned
above :
Tika Lal

14th September,1989
Residence:
Chinkral Mohalla, Habba Kadal, Srinagar

Tika Lal Taploo
was a lawyer by profession and had been in politics for long. He had fought
electicons to the J&K Legislative Assembly a number of times but could
not make it to the Assembly because of the jerrymandering of the Assembly
segment he would usually tight elections from. He enjoyed immense popularity
as a social and political activist. He was put to bullets by the armed
killers of JKLF. His assassination came as a shock to large sections of
Kashmiri population. His funeral procession was stoned by the Muslim rebids
and was attended among others by Kedar Nath Sahni and L. K. Advani as he
was the Vice President of the J&K Unit of Bhartiya Janata Party. The
Muslims downed the shutters of their shops as a mark of respect to the
martyr, but they had to re-open their shops when issued commands not to
mourn the death of a Kafir.
Nila Kanth

Residence:
Karan Nagar, Srinagar
Survived by
wife (70), sons (51,49), daughter (55)
Nila Kanth
Ganjoo was an ax-Sessions Judge with lots of legal acumen. He had emerged
as a detestable person for the Muslim secessionists as and when he heard
the case of Maqbool Butt who was accused of murder of an intelligence officer,
Amar Chand and on the basis of the evidence collected and deposed in the
case had ordered the execution of the accused. The accused had gone in
appeal against his judgment, but the death sentence was upheld even by
the apex court. Ganjoo lived under constant threat of life. His house was
raided and bombed umpteen times and the government had set up a police
post at his house. With the rise of militarised Islam in Kashmir he
was put to bullets on a busy road in Srinagar in broad daylight by the
JKLF assassins. His body lying in a pool of blood was not even covered.
Police prevaricated to arrive on the scene. Killers had left a note on
his body warning anyone against picking it up. Ganjoo was killed in cold
blood because he was a Kashmiri Pandit. The twenty-two witnesses who had
recorded their evidence in the case were all Muslims and they were not
murdered or even hurt. Instead they were amnestyed. The Justice of the
High court who had heard the appeal in the case was also a Muslim. He was
not killed for upholding the decision of the Sessions Court. Abdul Gani
Lone, said to be a corrupt stooge of some foreign powers, is believed to
be behind all the raids and bombing attacks on his residence.

wife (60), son (35), daughter (26)
"Premi" was
a poet and scholar. He stuck to his hamlet despite the rise in terrorism.
He had the psyche of a teacher in believing that he would withstand the
Islamic hurricane as he had taught every dog in and around the belts of
his village and hence could not be so ungrateful as to bite him to death.
But things proved otherwise. The Muslim terrorists entered his house on
28th April, 1990 and ordered all the members of his family to get collected
in one room alongwith the ornaments and moneys, shawls and precious clothes.
Whatever precious they had in their home was offered to the killers-curn-looters.
The ornaments that the ladies were putting on were also cruelly snatched.
Stuffing their booties in one suitcase Premi was ordered to carry it and
follow them for a word just a small distance away from his house. The members
of his family wailed and moaned. The killers assured them that he would
return safe and unharmed. His son insisted upon accompanying his old father.
"If you wish, you may also accompany him", said the killers. The treatment
that was meted out to the father and his son can shame even the worst Muslim
tyrants. The spot where Premi would put his tilak mark was nailed. He was
tortured by burning bits of cigarettes. The limbs of his body were broken.
His eyes were gouged out. He was hanged from a tree and bullets were fired
on him. His son was put to the same orgy of torture and death.

He was a bright
and budding boy and was doing chartered accountancy. Five masked menaffiliated
with JKLF entered his room where he was studying and blamed him for being
an informer. They carried him down to the first floor of his own residence
and pumped five bullets into his head and abdomen. He was immediately rushed
to SMHS Hospital, Srinagar for surgery. The doctors refused to admit him.
He was carried to the Institute of Medical Sciences, Soura where doctors
did not bother to attend on him and allowed him to die. He was sent to
the Jawahar Lal Nehru Memorial Hospital, Rainawari for post-mortem where
his relatives allege that they had to wait for hours on end and were asked
to pay money for the routine. His parents strongly believe that had he
been operated upon in SMHS Hospital in time he would have survived the
trauma. Garyali's father weeping and wailing had rushed to the local police
station for a vehicle to carry him to hospital. The SHO, a Muslim, avoided
and the poor father went on begging him for a vehicle. He severely taunted
the Pandit, who, perhaps, did not realise that he was relishing his distress
to the last dregs of it.

plying on the route. The taxi-wallahs on road refused to carry her to the
hospital. Despite repeated phone calls to the SMHS Hospital, Srinagar,

rescue. Ultimately he was carried to the Army Hospital at Badami Bagh in

wife (52), sons (42,38), daughter (31)
He was a prominent
lawyer enjoying immense popularity and confidence of all communities. Having
attended the court for the day he was returning to his home when the Muslim
terrorists pumped bullets straight into his head. Muslims in the neighbourhood
of the lane where he was murdered in cold blood sadistically chuckled and
whispered, "Another is felled." Though popular with the Muslims nobody
even offered condolences on his brutal killing. Instead it was hailed as
a tremendous triumph of Islam and Nizam-e-Mustafa.
He was a superb
writer, orator and above all a nationalist with visions of India resurrected
and reconstructed on the cultural and spiritual heritage of India. As an
ardent votary of unity in diversity he opposed all barriers of segregation
built by communal, casteist and obscurantist forces. He unflinchingly stood
for positive ideololgy of national integrity which he was pained to see
wilting under the leadership of forces self-serving and with infirn1 commitments.
The religious
rites required to be performed on the tenth day could not be performed.
All Kashmiri Pandits were scared, frightened and terrorised and the administration
deliberately posed to be in deep coma. Despite curfew the terrorists disrupted
the last rites on tenth day and planted a bomb in the courtyard of the
house during the period of mourning. The family was forced to migrate to
Jammu in view of threats doled out to it.
A JKLF hound, Manzoor-ul-Islam, is facing trial for his murder.

and unmarried too. His father had died long back and the responsibility
of the family and its management was on his green shoulders. He possessed
a bit of ancestral land and looked after it to eke out an existence. But
he was a Kafir and therefore could not be spared. The Muslim killers knocked
at his door and as the atmosphere was surcharged with fear and panic his
mother came out to tell the killers that Dilip was not home. But that would
not break their bloody resolve. They waited outside the house for a while
and ultimately broke open the door and dragged him out and carried him
off as a prize catch. His mother beating her breast followed the killers
who foul-mouthed the hapless lady. His brother rushed to the nearby police
station for help, but no help came from that quarter. Dilip was extremely
tortured. His dentures were hammered out and twelve bullets pumped into
him and he was hung from a tree with a letter pinned on his chest. The
letter said that any person who dared lift the body would be paid one lakh.
His body was cremated by police.

He was in his
twenties and was posted at Karnah as a Postal Assistant in the Postal Department.
He came to his native town on a holiday. His having left for Baramulla
was conveyed through their accomplices to the Muslim killers who were waiting
for his arrival. In fact one of the killers was said to be following him
from Karnah itself. When he reached home, a killer called at his house
and carried him along for a cup of tea at a tea-shop in the heart
of Baramulla town. Unsuspecting Manmohan accompanied his Muslim friend
with whom he had frisked and frolicked in his boyhood days. When he entered
the tea shop, other killers waiting for him hit him with bullets. He died
then and there only. It is a classical case of treachery practiced by the
Muslim.

He was a social activist helping everyone in distress and difficulty. On
the fateful day he was out in the market of his locality. He talked to
his friends in his usual aplomb. Suddenly a bunch of hounds arrived in
a car and sprayed a shower of bullets over him. Despite profuse bleeding
he did not give in and caught hold of one of the killers. But his armed
accomplices put bullets into him felling him in his own pool of blood.
The killers ran off. It happened in presence of everybody. The Pandits
totally scared bolted their doors and windows and the Muslim majority flaunted
V-signs in all hilarity. He was carried to SMHS Hospital where a doctor
operated upon him and declared him out of danger. But after half an hour
a man from the theatre declared him dead. Removing the white cloth from
his face his relatives found him snow white and that triggered the charge
that the accomplices of the killers nestling the Hospital had drained out
his blood.

He was a professor
of Physics, a good teacher, cool, calm and soft spoken. But as ill-luck
would have it he was lost to sanity. As he would be raving and loitering
about, the Muslim killers pumped bullets into him killing him instantaneously.
The militarised Muslim bigotry did not spare even an insane for the fact
of his being a kafir and threat to Islam.
