Terrorism in Kashmir. I have read with interest views on Kashmir and thought I must try and tell you the truth as I have stayed in Kashmir for several years. Someone from USA has opined that state should not carry out repression. In case a foreign country sends terrorists and marauders, well organised and supported by the neighboring country.s Government with an aim to oust the people from other religions and carry out their rapes, slaughter and robberies--should the organised forces created for the protection of these very people watch or close their eyes? just because tommorow someone will say that state forces should not kill and some Amnesty or Human rightists will say --armies should not kill (but terrorists can). This is what Pakistan did in 1948 under Op Gibralter organised and planned by Pakistan Army Generals and their new Government(now documented also). It was not a few people but around 20,000 infilterators. Such a large force could not be an imagination. They expected the locals will join them, but they didnot because locls were human beings and not savages who were unleashed by Pakistan with rewars of rape, loot etc. A church in Baramula was destroyed and all nuns raped and killed, temples razed to the ground (you can see today also. The history was attempted to be repeated again and all Hindus, Christians and Sikhs have been killed or forced out of Kashmir? Amnesty should fight for their cause rather than accuse the forces of Custodial killings. Do you believe all stories of custodial killings or this could also be propaganda by terrorists. Fighting terrorism is not easy, given the chance Indian forces will like to get away soonest---they did it in Bangladesh--conquered and immediately handed over to local Government. A few accidental killings do happen and those responsible are punished--but by and large people are with the forces in Kashmir and would come out openly and say so if the fear of death from terrorists can be removed. USA would not have believed the level of organization behind these acts before 9/11. Truth is always harden to learn. Even US Army had some mistakes My Lai, Gautemala, Iraqi Prison IncidentIndian Army has a great historical past and would always care for people at large otherwise they would not suffer so many casualties(more than the casualties in two wars they fought). In case they were carrying out ethnic cleansing, we will have lesser Muslims in Kashmir and more Hindus, Christians and Sikhs---whereas the state of affairs is that inspite of a Hindu Majority force there are no people other than Muslims in Kashmir? Do I need to mention as to how after partition the percentage of non-muslims in Pakistan is so low and the reverse is true in India. It is the policy of Government and Army/Police of the nation reflected based on the true realities.
