They conveniently forgot to inform the equally biased delegates from Delhi, including Sadia Dehlvi and controversial and vindictive interlocutors, that Kashmiris are confined only to the Valley proper in Kashmir and that the mountainous areas of Kashmir house non-Kashmiris, including Pathowari-speaking Muslims and Gujjar and Bakerwal Muslims, whom Syed Ali Shah Geelani had contemptuously dismissed as non-Muslims not-so-long-ago.
The delegates from Kashmir suppressed the truth by not telling all other delegates that the Pathowari-speaking Muslims, all Sunnis, and Gujjar and Bakerwal Muslims, again all Sunnis, belong to a different racial stock. Remember, these two communities belong to different cultures and different philosophies. Their way of life is different. Their concept of life and on life is di... | |
