Not true. Was a kid in 1990. U know what was talked about of that 11 month PM ship of V P Singh? The protests due to Mandal commission..5 lakh KPs fled their homeland..many lives lost. So many horror stories and we knew none of it.
What did we read..a student trying to immolate himself ..inciting similar protests across schools all over the country..stone pelters coming over to schools and throwing stones on windows, forcing schools to shut down..And us small kids huddled inside.
So when KPs were battling for their lives and surviving in refugee camps, the future of the nation was pelting stones...unaware of all this.
And didn't know for years..came to know only once we grew up a bit and came to know of a parents' colleague who went through the ordeal.
Knew about the exodus, but never imagined the extent of such suffering..what on earth would drive us towards reading the books or watching the documentaries when they were not even talked about. For us little ones Kashmir was this happy , pretty place where old bollywood movies were shot and Actors danced in the snow or in a Shikara on Dal lake..and then one day there came a movie like Roja that showed a different side to that Paradise..and everything that followed. I have been there as a kid..wish to see it again in its glory.
So I credit this movie for bringing the issue to light. For us it may be raw, but for new gen it's history from which they learn..
I feel for Hindus who were victims of genocide n kps who became refugees in their own motherland . I understand wat pain n wat not they might gone through . Words are not enough n can’t express in just words .
Ya nothing much shown in movie n truth started shaking d ecosystem . Ecosystem done conspiracies so many decades to oppress, suppress , hide truth n erase truth with their propaganda n lies . Truth prevails . Generations grew learning world history . It’s time to change education system n whole system . Indian history must be known along with world history n affairs for future generations . True indians in true sense who feel proud to be Indians n true love for motherland india . Ya credit to film for d awareness , start of d truth . It’s time to open Kashmir files , officially acknowledge Hindu genocide , stop trivializing by saying kps are just migrants , propaganda , lies . Kashmir name must be changed n must get back it’s glory which is part of India . More Kashmir files films about Hindu genocide , kp exodus must be made in Hindi cinema .
