Kashmiri Hindu

I am a Kashmiri Hindu. We saw first hand how muslims behave when they become a sizeable minority. They start killing the rest of the folks and converting them through coercion. There have been multiple exoduses from Kashmir and the Hindus who stayed back were slaughtered or converted. My family left recently after thinks became too terrifying - signs instructed men to leave but leave their women behind.

We are homesick. Kashmir is the heart of Hinduism. one of the most sacred centers of Hinduism the Sharda Math is destroyed and now in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Over 600 temples are destroyed. Hindu and Buddhist sites renamed.

Now we are in the UK/ US and it terrifies me to think that we will have to run from here too. Where will we go? Once Muslims come in, they force others out
