Kashmir is the original Aryan Homeland

And the left-anarchist version? From middle ages the Saraswat Brahmins and Pandits of Kashmir ran away on their own from their native land due to the so-called Sufi tradition!

From Wikipedia -In the 13th century, Islam first became the dominant religion in Kashmir. The Muslims and Hindus of Kashmir lived in relative harmony, since the Sufi-Islamic way of life that ordinary Muslims followed in Kashmir complemented the Rishi tradition of Kashmiri Pandits. This led to a syncretic culture where Hindus and Muslims revered the same local saints and prayed at the same shrines. Famous sufi saint Bulbul Shah was able to persuade the king of the time Rinchan Shah who was prince of Kashgar Ladakh, through his intellectual power to adopt Islamic way of life and the foundation of Sufiana composite culture was laid when Muslims, Hindus and Buddhists were co-existing in the atmosphere of love and brotherhood.Some Kashmiri rulers, such as Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin, were tolerant of all religions in a manner comparable to Akbar. However, several Muslim rulers of Kashmir were intolerant to other religions. Sultãn Sikandar Butshikan of Kashmir (AD 1389-1413) is often considered the worst of these. Historians have recorded many of his atrocities. The Tarikh-i-Firishta records that Sikandar persecuted the Hindus and issued orders proscribing the residence of any other than Muslims in Kashmir. He also ordered the breaking of all "golden and silver images". The Tarikh-i-Firishta further states: "Many of the Brahmins, rather than abandon their religion or their country, poisoned themselves; some emigrated from their native homes, while a few escaped the evil of banishment by becoming Mahomedans. After the emigration of the Brahmins, Sikandar ordered all the temples in Kashmeer to be thrown down......Having broken all the images in Kashmir, (Sikandar) acquired the title of ‘Destroyer of Idols’."

Pandit; Baharistan-I-Shahi: A Chronicle of Medieval Kashmir (An English Translation); Firma KLM Pvt. Ltd.; Calcutta; 1989 (Available on-line at Ref. # 8.b) In 1947 C.E. encouraged by Pakistan, the fanatically Muslim Pathan, Afridi and Chitrali tribesmen invaded the Hunza, Balistan, Gilgit, Ladakh, Poonch, Rajouri, Mirpur and Muzaffarabad regions of Jammu and Kashmir and let loose a reign of terror. The genocide of the 20% minority of Hindus in these regions was total. For instance, the 100,000 strong proud Hindu Vaish community of Mirpur and Poonch areas was massacred, and their women-folk were raped, forcibly married and sold as slaves in cities of Pakistan.The Pandit community of proper Kashmir valley is atleast acknowledged but the Vaish community of Mujjafarabad region who were the guards of famous Sharada Peeth (the seat of learning in Kashmir ascended by few scholars like Adi Shankaracharya) now near Mujjafarabad in POK is forgotten who would have been 3-3.5 lac by now had they been allowed to survive!
The Saraswat Brahmins (named after Sharada Peeth) and Kashmiri Pandits have been repeatedly hounded off their homes from the middle ages and Nehru Family and many others like them settled in Allahabad, Haridwar and Punjab region. That is why Kashmir is today Muslim majority! Farukh Abdullah has himself said publicly that his great grandfather was a Pandit forcibly converted by Muslim Afghan rulers.
POK is not Kashmir proper. Its northern part is Balwaristan (Gilgit-Baltistan)and Shia muslims reside there. They are badly persecuted by Pakistanis. http://balawaristan.net/english.htmThe southern part is inhabited by Mirpuris and not Kashmiris who are Bakerwal, Gujjar and Dogra people converted to Islam! Only a negligible area near the confluence of NilGanga/Neelam and Jhelum near Mujjafarabad is part of Kashmir valley near Uri town of J&K.However whole of POK is now dominated and settled by majority Pathans and Punjabi Muslims of Pakistan.
Nund Rishi is like Kabir and there is a lot of confusion whether he was Hindu or Muslim, Sufi or Bhakti practitioner! In general Sufis converted people by stealth which hardcore Muslims could not do by sword! If sufi Islamic traditions are secular why only Hindus go to them and Muslims do not complement it by going to Hindu ascetics/sages?From Wikipedia -Kashmir was originally and still is one of the most important centres of Hinduism and later also became an important centre of Buddhism. Kashmir retained a strong influence of Buddhism despite the influence of Kashmir Saivism and the various Sufi Orders of Islam. The Rishi Order emerged as the most dominant Sufi Order in Kashmir because of its assimilation of Buddhist practices. The founder of the Order, Nund Rishi or Sheikh Nooruddin Wali, is the patron saint of Kashmir. Nund Rishi wrote a poem in the praise of the Buddha and was considered to be the spiritual heir of Lal Ded, the Kashmiri Saivite saint. He also had differences with the Kubrawiyya Sufi Order which was brought to Kashmir by Syed Ali Hamdani in the fourteenth century.
Most people of J&K are not the "Orthodox Kashmiri Sunni Muslims" as generally believed. Still they residing in valley hold political power! 35% are non-muslim, Hindu, Sikhs, Buddhists. 15% are Shias mostly in Kargil-Drass region. 25% are Gujjar-Bakkerwal tribes of herdsmen who are feircely anti Pakistani like the Shias.Another matter which is quiet important is that Kashmiri Muslims have been given protection through article 370 and outside people/Hindus could not settle in J&K. But, Kashmiri Muslims can settle in traditional Buddhist region like Ladakh and are 49% in 2001. They can also settle in traditional Hindu Dogra areas of Jammu and now they are 35% in Jammu. Poonch, Rajauri and Doda the 3 Jammu districts are now Muslim majority. Besides, hounding off of 7 lac Pandits have made non-muslims only 29% in 2001 in J&K.
Kashmir is already divided between India and Pakistan and should not be re-divided. So what can be the solution according to wishes of all the people of J&K, Hindus, Muslims and Buddhists? Give a time frame, say 1 year and allow people from J&K to permanently go to POK to settle there who want Pakistan or Azadi! Let them have Pakistan or declare POK as Azad Kashmir which India can then recognize to further divide Pakistan. Talking in the language one understand! Those who want to remain with India should only be allowed to reside in J&K.
Dhahanu - The land of Aryans could be an important clue in proving that the original homeland of Aryans is India and Kashmir in particular.Dukpa migrants from Dardistan (north-west Kashmir) were the earliest settlers in Ladakh. They occupied the lower reaches of the Indus River -- the tract being popularly known as Sham -- which is separated from upper Ladakh by the Kongkha Pass. They brought with them the form of Buddhism that was prevalent in Dardistan at that time. Another form of Buddhism came into Ladakh with the Mons (of Aryan origin), who came from Kulu and settled in the Rong area with Gya as its capital. Towards the close of the 10th century, another wave of settlers came to Ladakh, this time from Tibet, and brought with them the Mongolian form of Buddhism, which later became the dominant element in the religious life of the people of Ladakh. Thus, Buddhism in its present form came from Tibet where it had been preached by Indian teachers.Dhahanu is situated to the south west of Leh, around 163 Kms. passing through the beautiful villages of Kaltsey, Domkhar, Skurbuchan and Achinathang. There are many small villages but only two villages of Dha and Hanu are open for tourist. Being on lower altitude Dhahanu is warmer than Leh. The main attraction of this tour is Drokpa Community considered being as last race of Aryans confined to the valley. Their feature is pure Indo Aryan and they have preserved their racial purity down the Centuries. Their culture and religious practices are very similar to ancient pre- Buddhist religion known as Bon-Chos.
