#19January A Black Day In Indian History when Hindus Of Kashmir Were Butchered and asked to leave... #kashmiriPandits..

Tens of thousands of Kashmiri Muslims poured into the streets of the Valley, shouting  'death to India' and death to Kafirs...

If they were lucky enough to see the night through, they would have to vacate the place before they met the same fate as Tikka Lal Taploo and many others. The Seventh Exodus was surely staring them in the face. By morning, it became apparent to Pandits that Kashmiri Muslims had decided to throw them out from the Valley. Broadcasting vicious Jehadi sermons and revolutionary songs, interspersed with blood curdling shouts and shrieks, threatening Kashmiri Pandits with dire consequences, became a routine 'Mantra' of the Muslims of the Valley, to force them to flee from Kashmir..."
