Truth of Brutalities Scarier Than What’s Shown In The Kashmir Files
In his long and heartfelt note, he has also mentioned regarding the massacres of Hindus in J&K that happened years after genocide of Kashmiri Pandits. But now, everything has been washed away in history.
This is what he wrote on Twitter, “Those who have any problem with the censor-cleared Kashmir Files, are free to boycott it or make another film to refute it,” In his letter, he narrated all small and major incidents that happened during that time in the valley.
“I have worked in Kashmir in very sensitive and responsible positions since the early 1990s-I know the truth is scarier than what is shown,” he added.
He said that there are many of his colleagues who are the witness of this genocide but are currently not in a position to narrate the entire incident. It’s mainly because the Secrets Act restricts Government officials to share any information related to the defence and security of the country.
“That is the tragedy of governance. The public can have only an artistic version, not an official one,” he added.
As per Dr. Asthana, the militancy in Kashmir had 3 versions. One of them is Military which is linked to security and police. The other one is Insurrectional that are intended to organize strikes.
On the other hand, the communal dimension basically attacks on attacks on civilians and people hailing from other religion and community that are mainly non-Muslims.
He also wrote about Islamic Militancy in Kashmir which he says is a continuous project. He also spoke about genocide was not the isolated event.
He also wrote about an incident about a school teacher in Srinagar who was shot dead right after Non-Muslim and Muslim teachers were segregated.
In another incident, a 68 year old Makhan Lal Bindroo was killed Islamic terrorists.
Asthana also listed out so many massacres after Kashmiri Hindu Genocide happened in 1990 where innocent Hindus were killed by Islamic violence in the Jammu and Kashmir region.
