You know what — this is exactly the pathetic type of divisive and utterly biased journalism that has hampered the credibility of global journalistic community. Go ahead, if you wish to downplay or whitewash an ethnic cleansing, no one will stop you. Over 100 bodies and mass rapes took place just in the very village that my maternal family hails from and that 219 figure is not from Indian MHA but from J&K government — the very establishment that will benefit from projecting the numbers lower than they are. Not that these facts will hold any value to your clearly corrupt professional morals. What is hilarious is that you even mention how only the spies and those affiliated to Indian govt. were targeted — please go ahead and look up the very famous molestation and butchering of Girija Tikoo, she was neither a spy nor affiliated to government; and hers is just one such story. “Advocate against Islamophobia” your profile description says; and yet you are doing that religious community a huge disservice by misrepresenting and cherrypicking events that suit your narrative. The truth is out there and acknowledgement and apology will work way better to combat Islamophobia than attempts to downplay what was clearly a travesty. The only thing mythical in this article you wrote, is the knowledge you have about the nuances of a very complex, multi-dimensional geo-political issue.
