Is India using Hindu pilgrimages to tighten its grip around Kashmir?

[Dai Toruko]

Amarnath Yatra is an annual Hindu pilgrimage which takes place in India-administered Kashmir. But is it being used by India to tighten its grip on Kashmir? Here are 5 things you need to know.

Hindus should have the right to visit their holy sites without fear of being attacked, harassed or killed.

TRT is a Turkish outlet.

I have noticed a very strong pro-Muslim bias when it comes to their videos.

Seems like it's a part of the rising Islamism in Turkey under Erdogan.

They shouldn't be talking big when they are subjugating the Kurds and Christians in that country, as well as having invaded Cyprus.

Hindus visit their holy sites without fear in Pakistan.

What does that tell you? The security collapse in occupied Kashmir is due to Delhi's aggressive occupation of Kashmir and its atrocities therein. Delhi is squarely to blame for the plight of kashmiri Hindus or visitors to holy sites there. Now India will get nuked. Again the blood is on India's hands.

How many years and decades have Kashmiris waited for their right to a democratic solution to their plight? Delhi has denied that, covertly until now...and Modi has simply made it clear and open.

This is not talking about Pakistan, but rather India.

It's the people who threaten to kill or harm Hindu pilgrims who are to be blamed... no one else.

Freedom of movement in one's own country shouldn't be an issue at all.

Hindu pilgrims have a right to visit their holy places in their own country, as much as Muslims, Christians, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs etc have a right to visit their holy places in their own country.

Let Pakistan administer Kashmir and watch how safe Hindu pilgrimages will become. Do you in all honesty actually think that if Kashmir had acceded completely to pk in 1947 that Hindus on their pilgrimage to holy sites would have any problems?

Stop exploiting these pilgrims, and Pandits, and everyone else in order to justify illegal and amoral occupation.

How safe weremuslim worshippers at Babri mosque?

Are Sikhs ever troubled by Pakistan state when visiting their shrines in pk?

Time for sanghis to face facts.

We have actually seen how safe Pakistan is safe for minorities especially Hindus, Christians, Shias, Hazaras and Ahmedis. Systematic elimination. So organising an festival for few remaining thousand species isnt a big deal. Thousands visit Amarnath yatra in a year. Your "brothers" expelled Pandits from Kashmir valley for being a different religion. Kashmir used to a Hindu spiritualism hotspot. When people converted they turned on their former selves. Something to be proud off for you I guess.

As for Babri Mosque, there was no prayers since 1850's. Archelogical survey of India has done its own research and it has submitted an report, that it was built over an temple. Even the same temple pillars have been used to build the mosque. Dont believe me? Check your google for Qutb minar, Kashi mosque pictures, Babri old pillar pictures and you will know how it was built.

India is to blame for Pandits leaving. Give Kashmiris their rights to decide to join Pakistan and security will return overnight. This is all moot now anyway. Everyone will get nuked.

Kudos to you for saying this and recognizing TRT role in instigating Hinduphobia.

TRT is a pure islamic propaganda outlet. Pretty much everything they said in the video is false / fake.

Amarnath has been a holy site for Hindus ever since there has been Hindus in India. The story of it being "rediscovered" by a Muslim shepherd Buta Malik, in 1850 is pure Fiction created by islamist to show some fake "brotherhood".

The FACT is that in the year 1842 when British traveller GT Vigne went to Amarnath, he saw Hindu pilgrims there from all over India. Vigne wrote the following about Amarnath Yatra in 1842.

".........to escape from the pursuit of justice. A stream descends from it to Palgam, and there joins the Lidur, which comes rattling down the larger valley on the right, at the end of which are seen the snowy moun-tains on the way to Moue Nath. I remember trying hard to get near enough to three fine eagles that were sitting on the green slope above Pulgam; but they rose, and circled away amongst the mountains, utterly regardless of the small shot from my double barrel.

The ceremony at the cave of Umur Nath" takes place on the 15th of the Hindu month Sawun (28th of July). Previously to that day not only the Hindus of Kashmir, but those from Hindustan, of every rank and caste, may be seen collecting together, and travelling up the valley of the Lidur towards this celebrated cave,—which, from his description, must have been the place that Bender intended to visit, but was prevented."


Amarnath yatra is mentioned in the Rajtarangini, a metrical legendary and historical chronicle of the north-western Indian subcontinent, particularly the kings of Kashmir. It was written in Sanskrit by Kashmiri historian Kalhana in the 12th century CE.

Couldn't we same that you being a Hindu are biased towards India?

What would you say about the Indian lockdown of Kashmir? Is that also a right of India?

Is this true? Don't understand Urdu.

Syed Tariq Pirzada -“We Pakistanis appeal to the Kashmiris to kill any Hindu who settles in Kashmir".

If true, it is appalling.
