Different people have different reactions to such movies. You can’t pluck out the most extreme reaction and blame whole world for it.
Kashmiri PANDIT exodus happened due to fake secularism that was practiced in the country for years. Where one groups’s voices, concerns and pain was silenced to appease the others.
The selectivity and appeasement was so sickening that the then governor had no choice but to ask the pandits to go away from Kashmir instead of controlling the violence against them.
The selectivity is so appalling that while most of the KP’s houses were vandalised and occupied, the media would only show the one or two houses that was not occupied.
The appeasement was so sickening again that the same neighbours who drove the KPs away, plundered their families by rape and murder were shown as being sympathetic to KPs.
Having said this, the J&K of 1990s and today is different. There are more chances of KPs returning to Kashmir and living peacefully among their other KP families than it was ever before.
The appeasement is gone which pains many today, but it was much needed and KP case is just one of the examples of why fake secularism and appeasement emboldens one group to an extent of using violence against other to drive them away.
One more thing I can say is even Kashmiri Muslims are changing. Previously the KMs were controlled by handful of Mullahs, separatists and politicians who used hate as fodder. Not gradually the power is going back to normal Kashmiri. Shah Faesal is such an example.
The generation now is apologetic about what happened in 1990s , not everyone but a good percentage says it was wrong to drive away the natives from their homeland. Also there is another group with strong notion that KPs don’t belong to Kashmir anymore and they should not return.
Politics and reality always has two side of stories, you can’t pick up the extremists view and paint everyone same.
