so someone wrote the following tags on this post of mine (a story about my great grandmother and colonialism) and the tags have nothing to do with the original goal of the post. but since i was singled out for some reason, i’ll respond.

i’m sorry to break it to you but hinduphobia IS real. last navratri bangladeshi hindus had their temples demolished and their houses burned down. it is estimated that in 30 years there will be no more hindus left in bangladesh.

and there WAS a hindu genocide in kashmir. regardless of whether you’re left or right wing it should not be hard to discern that the exodus of kashmiri pandits in january 1990 was caused by a threat of genocide. they were told to flee, convert, or die. and so callously putting hindu genocide under quotes erases their trauma and experience. that’s why i defended the kashmir files. it did what it set out to do - give a voice to the kashmiri pandits once and for all. if you want to talk about the politics of the movie then find someone else. i don’t know much about indian politics to talk about it so i’d rather not say anything than say something damagingly ignorant, but i do know enough about kashmiri pandits and have seen enough of their survivor accounts to say that it was very clear that this was ethnic cleansing. my beauty parlor aunty herself is a refugee.

LASTLY as someone who has herself experienced bullying because of her hindu identity in america, it is incredibly ignorant, dare i say privileged, of you to say that hinduphobia is not a “genuine phenomenon.” i was made fun of for my bindi and was taunted by a classmate to eat beef. one time a white girl in preschool refused to play with me because i was both brown skinned and hindu. and there was a fucking GANG in jersey in the 1970′s called the dotbusters that SPECIFICALLY TARGETED HINDU WOMEN. please do not forget that even if hindus are a majority in india, they are ethnic, racial, and religious minorities in the rest of the world. so yes, hinduphobia is real. damn i wish it weren’t. but it is. and it is a desi issue. so i WILL tag this as hinduphobia AND desiblr. that’s all

#how can people be so invalidating?? you don't know about my experiences or what i've been through #i know most indians don't think highly of the diaspora but #living as both a racial and religious minority in america is not as easy as you think it is #hinduphobia may be a term exploited by right wing extremists for their own gain #but i assure you the phenomenon itself is real #hinduphobia #hindus #hindu #kashmiri pandits #kashmiri hindus #kashmir 1990 #bangladeshi hindus #bangladesh #desiblr #desi tumblr #desi tag #desi #indian

Origin of kashmiri pandit cuisine

The cuisine of Kashmiri Pandits, an ethnic group native to the Kashmir Valley in India, has a rich and diverse culinary heritage deeply rooted in the region's history, geography, and cultural influences. Kashmiri Pandit cuisine, also known as Kashmiri Brahmin cuisine, is characterized by its unique flavors, delicate spices, and traditional cooking methods.

The origin of Kashmiri Pandit cuisine can be traced back to ancient times when the Kashmir Valley was a melting pot of various cultures, including Persian, Central Asian, and Indian influences. Over the centuries, these diverse culinary traditions blended with local ingredients and cooking techniques, giving rise to the distinct cuisine of the Kashmiri Pandits.

Some key factors that have shaped Kashmiri Pandit cuisine include:

Geographical Influence: The Kashmir Valley is blessed with fertile land, abundant water resources, and a temperate climate, which allows for the cultivation of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains. This abundance of fresh produce has had a significant impact on the ingredients used in Kashmiri Pandit cuisine.

Historical Influences: Kashmir has a rich history of trade and cultural exchange with neighboring regions, including Persia (modern-day Iran), Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. These interactions brought new ingredients, spices, and cooking techniques to the region, which were incorporated into Kashmiri Pandit cuisine over time.

Religious and Cultural Practices: Kashmiri Pandits follow Hinduism, and their dietary habits are influenced by religious beliefs and cultural practices. As a result, Kashmiri Pandit cuisine is predominantly vegetarian, with a focus on dairy products, grains, vegetables, and legumes. However, some non-vegetarian dishes are also part of the cuisine, although they are less common and usually reserved for special occasions.

Use of Spices and Flavorings: Kashmiri Pandit cuisine is known for its subtle yet complex flavors, achieved through the use of a variety of spices and flavorings such as saffron, fennel seeds, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. These spices are used judiciously to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients without overpowering them.

Traditional Cooking Methods: Traditional Kashmiri Pandit dishes are often cooked slowly over a low flame to allow the flavors to develop gradually. Dum cooking, where food is sealed in a pot with dough and slow-cooked over a low flame, is a common technique used to prepare dishes like dum aloo and dum biryani.

Some popular dishes in Kashmiri Pandit cuisine include Rogan Josh (a slow-cooked lamb curry), Dum Aloo (potatoes cooked in a spicy yogurt gravy), Haak Saag (collard greens cooked with mustard oil and spices), and Modur Pulav (sweet saffron-infused rice). These dishes reflect the rich culinary heritage and cultural diversity of the Kashmiri Pandit community.

Really don't understand how u are calling out muslims for genocide when hindus are literally doing the exact same thing to kashmiris right now. This is comming from a hindu btw, but the indian millitary for years has been killing innocent people in azad kashmir. I don't see enough people talk about that, especially considering how most indian actors/actresses are warmongers, encouraging the killings of innocent.

Warnings - Not for those who cannot digest facts.

First of all, stop making this a communal thing. People love to polarize, don't they?

Second, learn your facts. Kashmir is an integral part of India, the then ruler of Kashmir willingly signed to join India in 1947. The issue was taken to the UN by the then PM , Nehru.

Either you are too ignorant or too involved in propaganda. I don't want to go into geopolitics but it's important to go check that facts, from sources other than certain propogatory media. The same media that did not cover the Kashmiri Pandit Genocide.

The post was about Kashmiri Pandit Genocide, not to smear any community. If you can't digest fact- no matter your religion. That's your problem.

For all those crying for Human Rights in Kashmir, go and learn about the 32 years of exile of Kashmiri Pandits. I don't care about your religion. It is a humanitarian crisis. Stop making it about religions. Learn about the country's history with such forces.

Day changes into night and night into day. Sensation of four seasons suddenly were equal for them.

In those valleys, once vocals of Henzae used to be sung. All four seasons had their vivid colors. Colour of snow turned into red. Leaves lost their colors a while ago. The soil was tainted with brown, it started giving warmth in the winter.

Thrown out from their houses, shops, temples.

The place which was once called as a Land of sun, was torched, set ablaze ruthlessly. The place which was popular for it's silence, calmness instead, Screaming, seeking help to live or to die, for mercy could be heard.

Bodies of children were lying here and there, naked lying, living body without a soul of a woman, several man were tied to their home at threshold place and burnt alive. A skull of little girl ruptured in two parts by a bullet.

The eyes had seen terror of death and lost the survival instinct.

It's a place after so many years, soil, walls and snow tells a tale. A tale of horror and havoc which can shatter, break a living soul into pieces.

So many innocents were killed, burnt mercilessly. What had been lost first by a five year boy, his tongue or when his eyes were taken out alive, Voice or sight?

Who died first or wanted to?

When a women raped by several times in front of his husband or her brother or her father. Dignity of a woman or a courage of a man? At first there soul died with non acceptance to live a little longer.

They had lost everything but not forgotten.

Those feelings were not dead. Those eyes might not able to see but they have a vision. Those bodies might be cremated but those souls are not failed. They all want to go back, to see the real color of snow, soil and those walls.

"Exodus of kashmiri pandits". It's not an end. It's the beginning.

For that anon requesting to take down the post of Kashmiri Pandits.

For 32 years, the Kashmiri Pandits are fighting for their rights and they have always been left unheard by the successive governments. There is lot of politics involved, which i suggest please watch the film, and go through the articles. Everyone is caring about how that community/religion will feel being targeted but no one is discussing about the Kashmiri Pandit's sentiments.

I am not that type of person who would target the whole community for a section of people who were responsible for genocide. But, I would say, those people who were masterminds, are still roaming freely after commiting so many heinous crimes.

If that anon feels bad, please see facts and if possible don't undermine the ones who have been ostracised for so long.

Hi there,

It was not my intention to target any particular community. And that is what exactly I have been explaining I most of the asks, the post is solely about Kashmiri Pandits and their exile

Most people don't even who was Girija Tiku. But if they learn the details, they would understand that it is not about Islamophobia. It is about a humanitarian crisis.

Kashmiri Pandits Face Targeted Killings

In Indian-administered Kashmir, there has been a rise in the targeted killings of Kashmiri Pandits. Hindu minorities from other states of India living in Kashmir have also been targeted allegedly by militants.

The targeted killings have increased after the BJP-led government revoked the special autonomy of the region. The government subsequently changed state-subject laws of the state, giving rise to fears of demographic change. The erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir (now a Union Territory) was the only Muslim-majority state of India. Read More

Kashmir in a ‘Templocracy’: A Home Lost Forever

“34 years since the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, there is no substantial change for them. Despite being used as symbols by the government, the Pandits remain culturally homeless. The community’s silence and the emergence of ‘Templocracy’ in India, intertwine religion with governance, making the fate of the exiled Pandits even more uncertain” Bill K Koul Kashmiris – past, present and emerging –…
