The Dharma Chronicle

. The Kashmir valley developed from the Satisar lake, the lake of Mata Sati, wife of Lord Shiva. The valley of Kashmir was created due to the prayers of Kashyap Muni, Lord Brahma’s grandson (the God responsible for creation). Kashyapa Muni was one of the Saptarishis, the seven primordial sages recorded in the Vedas. Kashyap Muni was the author of systematic work: Kashyap Samhita, sometimes spelt Braddha Jivakiya Tantra is, a renowned reference book on Ayurveda, particularly in the domains of Ayurvedic Pediatrics, Gynaecology, and Obstetrics. Geologists agree that this terrain emerged from a lake, as evidenced by lacustrine deposits. As Kashyap muni discovered what today is known as Kashmir, it was named Kashyapmar (meaning lake of Kashyap muni). Over time, it became Kashmar and then Kashmir. Australian political scientist and researcher confirms it. Nilamata Puran also mentions about the origins of Kashmir. Pandit Kalhan, a Kashmiri historian f...

Farooq Abdullah was the Chief Minister from November 7, 1986 to January 18, 1990. It was this period which saw Kashmir rise in Islamic extremism. In February 1986, massive communal attacks occurred in South Kashmir. Muslim mobs plundered or destroyed the properties and temples of Kashmiri Pandits. Ghulam Mohammad Shah, the brother-in-law of Farooq Abdullah, was the Chief Minister then. He failed to curb the violence. His government was dismissed in March 1986 by the then Governor Jagmohan. It was reported that Mufti Sayeed, then a Congress leader, had instigated the violence as he was keen to be the Chief Minister and replace Shah . Rajiv Gandhi was the Prime Minister then who later gave Mufti Sayeed a seat in the Rajya Sabha and also made him a Union Minister.

It was this period that saw the build up to...

Jagmohan Malhotra was the governor of the state twice, from April 26, 1984, to July 11, 1989, and then from January 19, 1990, to May 26, 1990. Both his tenures had a deep impact on Kashmir’s political and security scenario. Malicious political propaganda is getting disseminated that exodus of Kashmiri Hindus started when "BJP man" Jagmohan was governor and BJP was in power at Center. Let's find out the truth  KP exodus started in 1989 itself, when Rajiv was PM. Farooq Abdullah was CM. VP Singh, Minister in Rajiv's cabinet became PM on 02 December 1989, when Rajiv lost the election due to Bofors scandal. BJP supported him from outside, but did not join govt. In less than two months, on 18 Jan 1990, Abdullah quit as CM. As if on cue, the very next day, posters appeared all over the Valley asking Hindus to leave. Calls were simultaneously made from mosques asking them to 'Convert, leave or die'. The killings began and they flee...
