Syed Ata Hasnain | Protecting minorities in J&K amidst 1990s' fears

Deccan Chronicle  

Recalling January 1990 brings horrendous memories of the selected targeting of Kashmiri Hindus by Islamists who were Pakistani proxies determined to cleanse the Valley of any non-Muslim presence. The Pakistani grand strategy failed to make headway against the Indian political and security response, although tactically the resort to minority killings did take place from time to time. I recall the aftermath of Chittisinghpura in March 2000, when 36 Sikhs had been gunned down by the Lashkar-e-Tayyaba and the manner in which government officials, politicians and even Army officers appealed to the minority Sikh community not to resort to the extreme option of leaving Kashmir; that would have exposed the inability of the Indian State to guarantee the security of its own citizens. The current targeting of minorities has been claimed by the so-called “The Resistance Front”, an umbrella organisation of prominent terror groups put together by Pakistan’s ISI to escape the FATF strictures; a non-Islamic name is seen to contribute to the perception that this is a home-grown Kashmiri outfit. While the government’s outreach to majority youth and citizenry in general is making good progress, the effort to change the perception towards terror groups needs greater focus.
