#Squash
Wasn't there a tweet by some Pakistani female about how abusive Indian women are unlike their classier Pakroach counterparts? Between this and the overlong voice notes fight between 2 Pakistani women where every 2nd word was gashti, I practically feel like a nun. 😂
#Kashmiriyat — The serpent wrapped in a shawl, the perfume sprayed upon a massacre, the tune hummed by wolves to lull sheep before the slaughter.
Pranam Nishat Khan ji,
You say you “witnessed” Kashmiriyat in 1989 and 2010?
Then you, sir, have truly mastered the art of sightseeing while blindfolded and facing backwards.
Because 1989 was not the year of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It was the year of Raliv, Galiv, Tsaliv—convert, die, or flee.
It was the year when Kashmir bled Sanskrit, when Shiva was silenced, and when Hindus were marked not by caste but by the crosshairs.
But let us now tear open the carefully sewn layers of your post with the scalpel of scholarship. Let us dissect this taxidermized idea called Kashmiriyat—a word which, as T.N. Madan, India's pioneering anthropologist and Kashmiri Pandit, declared:
“Kashmiriyat is not a Kashmiri word. It may not therefore be claimed to be a native category of perception. It is an artificially produced clone of Punjabiyat and a recent coinage—not earlier than the 1980s.”
An artificial clone—not a blossom of tradition, but a linguistic prosthetic grafted on by cultural orthopedists attempting to reanimate a fractured identity. It is no more Kashmiri than a plastic flower is botanical.
Even Mohammad Ishaq Khan, a Kashmiri historian of repute, recalled the precise moment he first heard the term—not from a manuscript, not from an ancient hymn, but from a drawing-room conversation post-1975, amidst despair and confusion. He remembers Ibn Mahjoor—son of the so-called “national poet” G.A. Mahjoor—saying:
“Now we cannot go to Pakistan. We cannot become independent, as Sheikh Abdullah has already sold us. There is only one option now: we must support a regional party… that would be Kashmiriyat.”
That wasn’t culture. That was a funeral oration for failed secession, a lament disguised as a philosophy. Kashmiriyat was not born in a temple or a dargah—it was conceived in political panic and born in the arms of disappointment.
Even the Srinagar Times, that cradle of the counterfeit, only cautiously uttered the term in 1975, in an editorial titled “Srinagar ke Akhbaar aur Urdu Zabaan”, saying:
“It would not be very surprising if Kashmiriyat appears in their journalistic language.”
Not as philosophy. Not as spiritual universalism. But as a linguistic accent. Imagine calling a dialect a civilization. That is the degree of delusion one must embrace to equate Kashmiriyat with Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam.
Meanwhile, Sheikh Abdullah—long perceived as Kashmir’s enigmatic messiah—was engaged in a pageant of political necromancy, reviving tombs and mouthing slogans like “Yeh mulk hamara hai, is ka faisla hum karenge” (This nation is ours, and we will decide its future). In 1977, he even led a government-funded pilgrimage to the grave of Yousuf Shah Chak, the last king of independent Kashmir, erecting commemorative stones and organizing a cultural program—a coronation of himself as the spiritual heir to a lost sultanate.
Was this secularism? Or a photo-op with the ghost of Islamic sovereignty?
Even the J&K Cultural Academy, under his regime, wasn’t promoting harmony but staging cultural taxidermy, dressing up Sheikh Nooruddin (Nund Rishi) and Lal Ded as saints of secularism. These two medieval mystics—deeply spiritual, complex, rooted in bhakti and Sufism—were turned into props in a state-sponsored puppet show. Neither of them uttered the term Kashmiriyat—because it did not exist. It was later smuggled into their legacy like a forged will into a dead man’s pocket.
And what of Farooq Abdullah, the heir of this synthetic ideology? In 1983, he resurrected the term like a magician pulling a stuffed pigeon from a hat. He partnered with Mirwaiz Maulana Farooq, a known separatist, and fought the assembly election on a full-throated Muslim card, while Indira Gandhi's Congress-I used a Hindu card in Jammu.
Kashmiriyat, in that theatre, was not harmony—it was costume.
A burqa stitched from newspaper slogans. A PR stunt to veil theocratic appetites.
Then came 1989—the year your memory claims “witnessed secularism.”
Well, let me remind you what else it witnessed:
a) Temples desecrated
b) Women raped
c) Hindus hunted
d) Homes looted
e) Many more
And most famously, letters from the Kashmir Liberation Front threatening the Pandits with words that chilled the marrow:
“The minorities should realize that this (supporting separatism) is the only way of preserving their own existence and culture.”
— Kashmir Times, 25 November 1989
A threat dressed as a proposal. A dagger sheathed in velvet. And you call this Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam?
Let me explain what that actually means:
From the Mahā-Upanishad:
“Ayam bandhur ayam neti ganana laghuchetasām;
Udāracaritānām tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam.”
(This is mine, that is a stranger—this is the calculation of narrow minds. For the noble-hearted, the world is one family.)
This ideal emerged from the womb of Sanātana Dharma, at a time when the mind was expansive, not doctrinal. It came before Islam, before the idea that the world must be divided between believers and Kafirs, between dar-ul-Islam and dar-ul-harb, before women were required to veil and kafirs to kneel and pay Jaziya while taking spit.
You cannot invoke Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam while harboring ideologies that demand exclusion, submission, and annihilation. That is not family. That is the mafia model of multiculturalism: You’re safe if you obey, but don’t forget who runs the house.
And let’s not forget how the Indian state, in the 1990s, attempted to repackage Kashmiriyat as the antidote to terrorism. M.J. Akbar—the Nehruvian voice in tailored suits—penned “Kashmir: Behind the Vale” and polished the turd of communalism with the toothpaste of secularism, all to reassure Delhi that the bleeding valley was still within the fold.
But truth, Shriman Khan, is not a TED Talk. It doesn’t wear make-up.
The reality is this:
Kashmiriyat, as it played out in politics of Islam, in press, in pogroms, is not a sibling of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. It is its usurper.
A liar dressed as a saint.
A soft-focus fatwa.
A slogan that promised brotherhood, while silently digging the graves of its brothers.
So please shut up.
Calling Kashmiriyat secular is like calling a crocodile a vegetarian because it once swallowed a sage.
Logical Reasoning Quiz:
A. Muslim enters a Hindu temple and urinates on the deity
B. Hindus file a complaint on him
C. Court declares that the Muslim is mentally ill.
Who is actually idiot here?
Hindus gathering in huge in Nainital, protesting against rape of 12 year, minor Hindu girl by 72 year old Muslim. Even the Sadhus are on street. Where is Justice ?
🚨 No Indian representation in the new BWF Council
With many nations with least presence part of the newly formed BWF Council, Highly unfair for a country like India which has contributed significantly to be not part of it! 🇮🇳🤦♂️

Keeping Indian (Hindu) Actresses as Sex Slaves.
In Islam there is a concept called Maal e Ghanimat. This means during invasion, non muslims girls will be considered as looted wealth and will be distributed equally.
But we HINDUS will keep respecting this EVIL CULT.
Nigerians are concerned over how a Sindhi Hindu family is taking over their country's economy, to such an extent that they will even control ports and trading zones.
Indomie has a higher market dominance in Nigeria + Indonesia than Maggi does in India.

Parsis wiped out from Iran - Islam has nothing to do with it.
Kashmiri Hindus & Sikhs wiped out from Kashmir - Islam has nothing to do with it.
Hindus & Sikhs wiped out from Afghanistan - Islam has nothing to do with it.
Hindu population is majorly decreasing in Bangladesh - Islam has nothing to do with it.
All major Hindu mandirs are under mosques - Islam has nothing to do with it.
OK.
Just a few days ago, British-Pakistani Bushra Shaikh spoke about how some Indian “Hindu” men were abusive towards her, especially in the context of rising tensions between the two nations. Could she now clarify where she stands on the vile, misogynistic remarks made by a “senior” Pakistani “Muslim” journalist about Indian actresses?
Several years ago, a Hindu girl in central Kerala was raped by a group of Muslim men from Malappuram in north Kerala. The girl said to the rapists in court: "You had Muslim girls in your area, yet you did not rape any of them. You intentionally travelled south to seek out a Hindu girl to rape."
India needs to acknowledge that the problem of jehad has reached epidemic levels. The jehadis no longer fear the law because they can execute people, rape women and bomb crowded train stations, knowing India's mickey mouse laws and liberal judges will release them in 10 years or sooner.
Plus, the jehadis are willing to sacrifice their lives if in the bargain they are able to remove one Hindu woman from the reproductive group. Humiliating the kafir is a holy act for them as they are taught that it will lead to everlasting sex and wine in jannat.
Awww - poor Pakistani Abdul doesn’t like me spewing facts. Thank you - now I know my posts are hitting the target to expose the agenda of terrorists like you & the Qaum that produces such hatemongers. You neither intimidate nor threaten me, your hostility only firms my resolve to keep going - stronger than ever.
Always remember, kids:
Me talking about Hindu rights = RSS Hindutva terrorist.
A Khalistani insulting my gods, calling me slurs, and telling me to go back to India = free speech.
Welcome to Canada.
Basic problem with Abrahmic religions. If we are created by a God, we can't have free will, if the God is perfect, the creation cannot have flaws.
In Hinduism, a God did not create us. Hinduism is the only religion that is logically consistent. You can't find a single flaw.
