"Let's not use Pandits here?" For the record, there were no troops patrolling the streets of J&K till 1989. That's what caused the Pandit exodus in the first place.
Also it is a might Himalayan coincidence that the terrorism in Kashmir in 1989 began with the end of the Soviet occupation of...
When the troops weren't there, the Pandits were driven out of the Valley by rogue elements.
Being coreligionists, didn't stop Pakistan from raping, murdering own citizens in East Pakistan. We don't consider ethnic Pakistanis and ethnic Kashmiris have anything in common. It's not as if...
China has 2 parts of Kashmir -
1. which it occupied in 1962 during the war with India - Aksai Chin region
2. Saksham Valley whose claim was given up by Pakistan in 1963. I am not sure if it was indeed under Pak control at any point - some Pakistani member can shed light on this.

According to the Indian Independence Act of the British Parliament which created the dominions of India and Pak, the rulers of Princely States were free to join either nation or remain independent. The Maharaja of Kashmir after an illegal invasion of Pakistan joined India and signed the Treaty...
