@rahulpandita I used to work in the same vicinity as her. Typical batta hater because her sympathies lay elsewhere. Apparently, 90s was a farce because kashmir wants azaadi. Used to defend a renowned #metoo accused as well. So, I don't really have much respect for her. Problematic core.

(n/n) As for Guru, he died a violent death at the hand of his own masters. His kids live in the US, but his legacy lies in a dumpster. Funny how life plays out. Guess the KP virus and cancer is still kashmir's best bet.

(1/n) Guru was no pioneer as KMs would like to paint. He and Dr Sushil Razdan were contemporaries at SKIMS. But as the legend goes, the powers that be decided that Guru should supersede Dr Razdan (despite having higher credentials than Guru) and the KP doctor resigned in protest.

Let me tell you a story. In early 90’s There used to be a renowned cardio thoracic surgeon in Kashmir, well known and well respected for his expertise. His name was Dr. Abdul Ahad Guru. Dr Guru was the first Kashmiri Muslim Doctor who performed open heart surgery in Kashmir. His efforts in making Soura medical institute well established heath centre was well known in those days. But all this was his side gig. His main job was being chief ideologue of Jammu & Kashmir liberation front. (JKLF). When Pakistan decided they could no longer rely on Kashmiri terrorists to destroy Kashmir and needed their own Punjabi and Pashtun terrorists in Kashmir they cultivated Hizbul Mujahideen and Jaish e Mohammad and so on and so forth. In April 1993 Hizbul terrorists kidnapped Dr. Guru and shot him dead because his services as a terrorist were no longer required. So those of you who are wondering - How can a doctor be a terrorist? Well we have seen it all .. Doctors turning terrorists is not new in Kashmir.

(4/n) Back to the story, Razdan left and started private practice. He would go on to become the best neurologist in the state, arguably the best in North India. He was so good that KMs would travel to Jammu to get treated by Razdan. Even today i think he treats patients at Paras.

May your tribe grow and thrive, Rakesh ji! A true hero, indeed.

@RahibaParveen It is the unsettling calm that scares me more, and all this feels like it.

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

@catale7a Also, we don't want to be sitting ducks. Want peace? Leave singapore and engage in the borders, we will see who has an opinion then, you paki ISI stooge. not an Indian, not allowed to have ah opinion on the war. Shoo!

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

@catale7a When bombs dropped near my house yesterday, Everyone was panicking but then psyops happened. it cheered everyone up! For you sitting in the confines of the comfort of your home, it is easier to dole out commentary. So, with due respect, stick your aman ki aasha up your posterior.

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

@SuzainnMir It befuddles me how you accuse bollywoodias of romanticising k pain and history. But, a kashmiri, who is aware of their history, would never use the word azaadi. It was the same word which was k muslims chanted while they drove KPs out. So, tuada kutta tommy, sadda kutta kutta.

[Aanchal Magazine @AanchalMagazine]

Did not even have a sip of water. She was disturbed as to why she had been separated from her parents. The fear of women facing the worst amid the targeted slogans against them made many Kashmiri Pandit families try to save the women first +

[Aanchal Magazine @AanchalMagazine]

When my Masi fled #Kashmir in 1990, her Kashmiri Pandit neighbour handed over his 12-year old daughter to her to ensure she reached a safer place first, even as he continued to be in Kashmir. The girl kept crying through the over 200-km long journey to Jammu +

I feel like twitter is this echo chamber and nothing else. Fuck this place & with it, the killers of my quom.

Don't feel like using this app. Going away hopefully to stay away from this app.

Won't deactivate it as i feel my words are imp. Thank you everyone for your kind words.

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

On an intellectual level, the problem with violence is the penchant for a target. First, it was KPs, and when they left, they turned on each other. The bloodthirsty mob then looked for Indian agents and when that will be done, it will be the turn of lower caste muslims, watuls...

Nadimarg Massacre
Wandhama Massacre

While this man is a sarkari dolt, these whitewashing meandering mannerisms of yours don't bode well. Curses have brought people down for much less.

KPs never picked guns, those who did will get the favour in the same spirit.

[Farzana Versey @farzana_versey]

Continuing to milk #TheKashmirFiles, he dedicates the wins to “martyr Sanjay Sharma who sacrificed his life to religious terrorism”. Post 1989, it’s after abrogation of Art 370 that civilian Pandits are targeted. What religious terrorism killed civilian K Muslims all these yrs?

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

@Himalayologist @AaryanBhagat13 I live the mess almost everyday, all i ask for is some solace in death, even which we don't get because tomorrow there will be a story of KMs organising the funeral pyre, not knowing one of them actually helped his killer.

Sometimes, I am in awe of how pervasive online disinhibition here is.

Would you tell Sanjay Ji's 5 year old daughter this if you met her in person today? This disgraced apologia only harms and tells me how deplorable you stooges of mullahs and the Indian govt are.

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

@Himalayologist @AaryanBhagat13 Trust me, @Himalayologist, I understand your pain and every KPs'. And I appreciate your honesty and the revert, trust me I do.

It is just that I am fed up of being seen as something that riles up passions and not as a mere human being.

@Himalayologist @AaryanBhagat13 My friends have been poked with sticks for not wearing hijab up in the North.

Then there is the Indian state in perpetual denial. This Governor doesn't care but when it is time to force KPs and oppress them, this bastard is at the forefront. /4

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

@Himalayologist @AaryanBhagat13 In Kashmir, I am seen as a sanghi who needs to be shot dead and, in Delhi, I am seen as a sanghi who is trying to inflame passions.

In Kashmir, I am seen as a person who suckles on the teat of a pig (i was told that on my face) and have been spat at for being a KP. /3

[The Cashmere Eye @CashmereEye]

@Himalayologist @AaryanBhagat13 I hate it when my neighbours in K see me as KP who needs to be dead. As people who need to be raped, killed & thrown out. I have seen people express solidarity & behind doors, revel in my misery. I have seen people, in Delhi & Bombay, shush me up when I try to speak up. /2
