[Reader-list] Are these humans nationalists?

[Pawan Durani]

Dear Mr Asit ,

I just wanted to clarify that the word Kashmiriat was used very cleaverly by
Kashmiri Muslim leaders to hide the atrocities on Kashmiri Hindus.

It is a historical fact that Kashmir has been intolerant towards hindus
since last almost 1000 years and there have been more than 8 major exodus of
Kashmiri pandits .

Regards

Pawan Durani
