I have been going through the other articles by the same author and feel that he has a very narrow view of things. The only way he can analyze things is through a religious angle. In my opinion, such authors, who have been given such a big platform, and have the capacity to influence so many minds should do their research from all angles, capitalism, religion, other nations etc, before defaming one religion and praising another.

I would suggest that we all should start thinking a little more practically than emotionally.

The muslims wanting to be Hospitable to the Hindus is a commercial decision. Imagine the amount of business that would be generated by 1.5 lakh pilgrimages. So lets understand the commercial value of the whole season without getting sentimental about how great which community is. Given an oppurtunity to earn money, which would keep you decently provided for, for the next six months, to an option of taking part in freedom rallies and stone throwing, which option would any sensible man, who does not want to make money through terrorist activities opt for?

@This is kashmir…when whole sub-continent was burning in communal flames and millions were slaughtered by Muslim and Hindu fanatics. Kashmir was the only place free from communal violence.”

—I assume you are talking about the partition. Do u disagree that things changed for worse in 1989. Hindus moved out since religious color was given to the movement. Who was the culprit?

@called free media of India not to communalise holy Yatra..these pilgrims are our guests and we will never harm them.”
–who is communalizing?

This is kashmir…when whole sub-continent was burning in communal flames and millions were slaughtered by Muslim and Hindu fanatics. Kashmir was the only place free from communal violence. I appeal to so called free media of India not to communalise holy Yatra..these pilgrims are our guests and we will never harm them.

@ But it is really sad and disgusting to know that certain hard-line and fanatic Hindu political groups are trying to potray the entire situation on communal basis in the backdrop of Amarnath Yatra. People of India are being misguided and wrongly informed about the facts on the ground.

Numbers speak for the facts. over 1.5 lakh pilgrims have visted the cave and none of them have been injured or killed by the ongoing peaceful protests in the kashmir valley. But it is really sad and disgusting to know that certain hard-line and fanatic Hindu political groups are trying to potray the entire situation on communal basis in the backdrop of Amarnath Yatra. People of India are being misguided and wrongly informed about the facts on the ground.

this piece speaks about the hospitable nature of people of Kashmir,i am sure that there are many elements who want to give Kashmir struggle a new face of religious fight with an aim to divide jammu and Kashmir into hindu dominated jammu and Muslim dominated Kashmir not only that they want to show to the common masses of India that people in Kashmir are killing Hindus and are against Hindus, which is actually not true. i fail to understand what kind of think tanks are sitting in India and what polices are they making:
