Ethnic Cleansing in Kashmir Parts 1 & 2

For more than a half century the Indian state of Kashmir held a special status that allowed it to be semi-autonomous. This allowed, among other things, for it to be governed by sharia law. In 2019 the government ceased that, allowing Jammu & Kashmir to become wholly administered by Delhi. Most news reports were about serious allegations of human rights abuses that took place in order to bring this change about. But missing from many conversations was the subject of the jihadist rebellion of the early 90s that chased Hindus from the area. Many died, and many more became displaced in their own country. These episodes include conversations with one who lived through it all. Chilling. But join us. Sidarth Ambardar joins us to discuss the Partition of India and Pakistan, its history from the tribal invasion of Kashmir to the present as recounted in ‘Days of Destiny: A Memoir of Kashmir’ a book written by his father, Shanti Swarup Ambardar. Theme music "Nigal."
