The Kashmir Files, Hindu genocides in India and the Leftist propaganda machinery
The film, The Kashmir Files, by Vivek Agnihotri has unlocked a Pandora’s box. The skeletons of crimes against Hindus have returned to haunt the country’s academia, journalists and even filmmakers. The director’s effort to put facts on celluloid has paved the way for creating films on all Hindu genocides that occurred in Bharat’s history. A Malayali film director has already revealed plans to make a film on the Moplah Hindu massacre, which prompted Dr KB Hedgewar to part ways with the Congress and start the RSS. Veer Savarkar and Dr Hedgewar were so pained by Gandhi’s Khilafat agitation and the Moplah genocide that they decided it was time to fight the enemy inside first.
The Islamic-Leftist commune in India has the tendency to whitewash the atrocities on Hindus and instead paint the latter as the perpetrators of violence on minorities. The Gujarat riots, for instance, would be discussed threadbare without ever mentioning the Godhra killings that was the trigger point for the 2002 violence. For these intellectuals, Hindu lives do not matter. They would obsessively look for minority persecution and create one when there would be none. The truth is that Hindus have been killed throughout history, from the time of the Muslim invasion of India to the present day.
The Kashmiri Hindu genocide was also painted likewise. It was propagated that only a few hundred Hindus were killed, whereas over 15,000 Muslims were killed in Kashmir in the course of Hindu exodus. This narrative is still being pushed by those stakeholders, trying to put the onus on the BJP for supporting the then VP Singh-led government. The truth is that VP Singh had assumed charge just a month before the incident. Such a mass exodus cannot be planned and executed in a month’s time.
