The Kashmir Files Team Meets PM Modi - Page 5

The point now is not whether any government has done enough for the KP or not. No KP in their right mind would want to go back to Kashmir now. Heck, even educated Kashmiri Muslims don't want to live in Kashmir anymore. There are no jobs and because of the recurrent terrorism, tourism is also not stable. KP are doing very well outside of Kashmir and they will be in no mood to give away 30 years of rebuilding their lives for nostalgia or nationalism.

But like anyone, who has been denied justice and has had their lives taken away, they would want their truth to be told to the world and acknowledged. And I believe, movies like Kashmir Files are an attempt in that direction. And when such a film gets the approval of GOI, it also officially acknowledges what happened to the KP's in the Genocide.

If a pan Indian journalist like Barkha Dutt can make a statement that the genocide happened because KP were taking away jobs from Kashmiri Muslims, why can't a film maker show that indeed, Kashmiri Muslims slaughtered and drove away Kashmiri Hindus and got away with it?

All the previous non-congress governments in India were barely functioning units. The last thing one would expect from them is touching the Kashmir issue, which has always been so sensitive. If not for the Indian Army, Kashmir would pretty much have become a part of Pakistan by now.

The BJP led government did revoke article 370, something that a lot of KP groups have been demanding since 1990.

Some of the comments are horrifying. Would be akin to reading a topic condemning Nirbhaya rape and someone bringing up rising cost of fuel because God dammit, it needs to be spoken about too.

The makers met the PM, big freakin deal. Does it invalidate the struggle and exodus of a community from their own homes?

FYI, Congress was not in power when this Exodus happened. Kashmir was under the presidents rule. The PM was VP Singh of the Janata Dal. BJP was an ally. Janata Dal also falls under the umbrella of the RSS. So lets read up on a little bit of history or we just end up sounding like fools when we say Bravo Modi! Now don't get me wrong...Rajiv & Indira Gandhi are absolutely responsible for things getting to that point...not just in Kashmir, but also Punjab & Tamil Nadu during those times but nobody helped the KPs or provided them protection whether it was the Congress or RSS. They were let down by the whole country.

What bravo Modi. Modi didn’t do a thing for KPs despite being in the power for 10 years. And likhke lelo, other than posing for the pictures like this with the producers who are out there to make money on the misery of the KPs, woh kuch karne wala bhi nahi hai. Kangresii ho ya phir Modi, sabke sab nikamme hai as far as KPs are concerned!

I think its wonderful a film portraying the pain of those times is being released and being discussed. As long as we remember that its fiction & might or might not be factually accurate.

VP singh was the prime minister of India from Dec 1989 to Nov 1990..exodus happened in Jan..started less than a month since he took over.

In Nov 1990 Chandrashekhar became the PM with outside support of INC..and since then INC has been in power majorly in India.

And we r seeing a representation of all the suffering now.

From Wiki

In 1989 an unprecedented insurgency began in Kashmir. Discontent with Indian governance was long-simmering and a rigged assembly election in 1987 opened the floodgates.

Rajiv Gandhi was the PM who preceded V P Singh when this insurgency really started. Mass exodus happened on that fateful night in Jan 1990 when the going got really tough

Excuse me?? Do you even know what terrible things have happened in UP??? If KP exodus is like the Nirbhaya case......then a Dalit girl being raped by 5-6 men and then being burned in the middle of the night and her face not even being shown to her family after she dies...and her mother crying for help...is like petrol prices rising?? Anyone who can think like this is either out of their mind or heartless....😳

AND YES....the UP atrocities need to be told anywhere and everywhere because now the people are in for a terror reign for another 5 years...my family lives there and I am concerned...

@ blue..so true...all the politicians are ek thaili ke chatte batte...looking out for their interests...but everyone is slightly better than the current Govt.
