- malware7 6y agoI wonder how did muslims became majority in kashmir? Do you know? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_of_Kashmiri_Hindus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_of_Kashmiri_Hindus Now that the these refugees are coming back o their motherland, propagandists are busy labelling it as hindu occupation and minority oppression.
- arjun1296 6y agoGlobally, Hindus are a minority. So whether its a liberal or conservative foreigner(Christian or Muslim), to them Muslims are usually a minority. And foreigners are easily susceptible to believe the claims of Muslims being a minority without even checking the realities. Tthey almost always fail to understand that it is Hindus who is the real minority in Jammu and Kashmir. Morevoer, Christians and Muslims are of Abhrahamic origins and their morality is skewed in favor of their version of worship and social norms. Idol-worshippers like Hindus are considered beastly and low-life. So don't expect foreigners to accept what Hindus says as our moralities are going to cut through their doctrinal abhrahamic morality though they are separate religions.
- Chris2048 6y ago> Idol-worshippers like Hindus are considered beastly and low-life. So don't expect foreigners.. How do you "check the realities" on these claims about foreigners?
- arjun1296 6y agoIts pretty much evident from woke publications of western media
- Chris2048 6y agoOk. Got any examples of woke western publications expressing the opinion that Hindus/idol-worshippers are "beastly and low-life"?

- detaro 6y agoseriously? Someone who's generally considered to have been very racist is your reference for what people think today? Not exactly a good argument for why you should be taken seriously.
- arjun1296 6y agoYou asked for one famous example and now that I gave one, you are bickering about how its not from the present. How miserable is that? There also examples of media censoring in UK when truth of Islamic conversion was discussed. UK is headed for downright destruction as it has started to censoring the truth. Another example is Henry Kissinger calling the entire Indian race as "scavengers" https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7536155/Sikh-peer-quits-Today-programmes-Thought-Day-slot-35-years.html https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7536155/Sikh-peer-q... https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/modi-meets-kissinger-does-pm-remember-1971-as-he-shakes-hand-with-a-man-who-called-indians-bastards https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/india/modi-meets-kissing... https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/scavengers-sexless-suck-up-experts-nyt-contributor-scoops-deeply-racist-kissinger-nixon-remarks-on-indians-136368 https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/nation/scavengers-sexless-...

- oa335 6y agoDid you even bother to read the comment he was responding to? "About 10% of India's population is muslim however in Kashmir they are a majority" They acknowledge that Muslims are a majority in J&K. Your response is not really related and is more revealing of your own insecurities.
- oa335 6y agoWhat about the refugees from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Jammu_massacres https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_Jammu_massacres ?
- malware7 6y agoI hope you read atleast one paragraph from that article. Also depending on how far you want to back in history, you would find that kashmir went of 0% muslim to majority muslim.
- oa335 6y agoI did read the entire article, which documented a pattern of back and forth communal violence stretching back decades. My point was that it's odd to focus on the one wave of refugees and ignore the others. Reparations for historical wrongs shouldn't be restricted to just one group.
- kbenson 6y agoWell, if you go far enough back in history, it went frmo 0% Hindu and random other tribal religions to mostly Hindu, right? That's the problem with "going far enough back in history", depending on how far you go, you can get rid of anything (even people), so you either need to provide bounds on how far you go back and why, justifying it, or you might as well not bring up that argument at all.
- naruvimama 6y agoIslam as with Christianity was a one man, one book affair from the relatively recent time. The older traditions much of which do not exist thanks to the two above religions, were timeless and pluralistic. Hinduism has no known history and is assumed to be evolved through the ages, like food or music - Hinduism is unbounded and untethered. Islam in Pakistan or Kashmir specifically has ethnically cleansed almost all non-muslims, imposes urdu at the cost of local languages and culture, and is now targeting smaller denominations as not being Islamic enough.
- silentguy 6y agoThis is a false argument. Muslims were majority in Kashmir before the exodus of Hindus. Your wiki link states that 300,000 to 600,000 Hindus left Kashmir due to the targeted violence. Muslims were in majority even if you include a Hindu majority Jammu. (https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/share-of-muslims-and-hindus-in-jk-population-same-in-1961-2011-censuses/ https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/share-of-muslims...) The reason of the violence against Hindus is the Indian government's desire to fully integrate Kashmir into India and deny the special provisions Kashmir was given as precondition to merge into the Union of India.
- naruvimama 6y agoMuslims first came into Kashmir as refugees when they were fleeing the caliphate. Muslims got Pakistan and were through in ethnically cleansing the country. Kashmir & Pakistan is a lesson for the rest of the world, particularly Europe on why Muslims can not be trusted. Where they are in majority, they have no problem carrying out genocides and ethnic cleansing. When they are in simple minority they carry out riots and secession. When they are in small minority they cry "Islamaphobia" and want minority privileges. This above seems to be universal and is said to be inline with their teachings. Sadly a soft government has proved time and again its inability to protect its citizens from Islamic genocide.
- john_max_1 6y agoJust like they become majority is Syria. And soon they are becoming majority in major European cities.
- hairband 6y agoI think in the context of India it is unfair to call 10% population as Minority. 10% of Indian population is ~135 Million, that is more than the population of several countries.
