My grandmother died, waiting to return to her home, her land, her ‘Panun kashir’ (my Kashmir)," she wrote.

She went on to say, "This film has been like a punch in the gut for me. It's been much worse for my parents. My family is experiencing PTSD from having to relive it. This is the most important story that took too long to be told. And remember, this is yet,only a film, there is still no justice for us."
She also thanked the cast and makers of the film for bringing forth the story. "Thank you Vivek Agnihotri for
showing the world the truth. And hats off to the entire cast brilliantly headed by Anupam ji," she wrote.

[Space-Ghost]

The irony, now your security forces hoist Kashmiri Muslims on the front of a jeep and drive them through the streets. Give me a f****** break, scum.

 

[hussain0216]

This is why partition was vital


Indians need to separate


Kashmir is a Muslim majority state, the whole point of partition was so we could divide not be stuck in the same communal shithole

Indians are separating across India, they can't live together, partition is already happening

 

[hussain0216]

No more partition.
There is already Pakistan. If anyone wants another partition India is going to offer them 'kabarstan'.

How and why are you forcing people who hate each other to live in the same shit state??????

Partition is already happening, it's not like Indians are getting closer, across India partition is happening and their is nothing you can do about it

Whether it's Kashmir or Gujrat or Bengal or Kerala or UP or Assam, separation is happening and increasing

 

[waz]

Yes her family suffer from PTSD and left their homes. However shouldn’t she now be not wanting to see even worse done to other Kashmiris who suffered steel ball bearings shot into their faces, had their rights stripped and so on.

 

[jamahir]

I agree that the Pandits had atrocity done against them and it was wrong for them to be expelled but Sandeepa should see that the Kashmir issue did not arise suddenly in the 1980s but has various facets including historical. For example if she considers the famous landmark called Lal Chowk in Srinagar she will find that when Hari Singh, the pre-Partition raja of the Kashmir region, was ruling it was Kashmiri Muslim and Sikh Communists who named that Srinagar landmark Lal Chowk inspired from the Red Square in Communist Moscow so that they could commemorate their agitation against the raja. Sandeepa should follow this historical thread especially given that she is in the film industry and one of those Kashmiri Sikh Communists was BPL Bedi whose son is the famous international actor Kabir Bedi.

Secondly, the militants in Kashmir who wouldn't consider a political solution also killed non-Pandit Kashmiris so why doesn't Sandeepa hold tears for them ?

Now, Sandeepa should see in Kashmir the three-decade-old military occupation too has imposed various atrocities on the resident Kashmiris including of more serious type than what her family suffered so she should speak for peace instead of a "We shall not forgive !" war for eternity. Musharraf had brought a solution for Kashmir to India in 2001 but that was rejected by the then deputy prime minister Advani who party - the BJP - is the same one now which is promoting the film the Sandeepa has watched, and the solution was also unfortunately rejected by Kashmiri leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani for some irrational reason known to him. Sandeepa has a bigger platform so she must promote an even better solution for Kashmir so I invite her to read this solution of mine :

A political solution for Kashmir and lasting peace for India and Pakistan

Lastly, it will be interesting to note the reaction to this film of another film industry colleague of Sandeepa - Sanjay Suri - who is a Kashmiri Pandit himself from Srinagar and his father was killed by militants there and his family had to move to Jammu and then to Delhi. He is a decent man who never held ill will against Muslims and even played a Muslim married to a Hindu in the film Firaaq which is about the 2002 Gujarat violence.

Does that change what she had to go through.

 

[Maula Jatt]

Yes cause you're equalizing Thier suffering, when it clearly is not equal in any way

Does that change what she had to go through.

 

[Suriya]

Yes her family suffer from PTSD and left their homes. However shouldn’t she now be not wanting to see even worse done to other Kashmiris who suffered steel ball bearings shot into their faces, had their rights stripped and so on.

Her family suffer from PTSD because they were thrown out of the their homeland at gun point. Before hundreds of Kashmiri Hindu Pandits were killed and women raped.
It is genocide of these people.

Some Kashmiris who may have suffered steel ball on their faces but they aren't evicted out of their homes like Rohingyas or Kashmiri Hindus.

Atrocities happening to anyone without discrimination of race or religion are a crime. Those doing it or cheering it face karma in no time.

 

[Abu Shaleh Rumi]

Hindus started the killings, Muslims gave the finishing touch. Now you heathens should stop crying and fuk off from muslim lands...

 

[Bossman]

Indian rewriting history as usual. Next they are going to call it a holocaust.

Not militants but Freedom Fighters.

India give more importance to some Bollywood high class escort whose only suffering was that she sat in back of a truck (most probably untrue in the first place) and not to the thousands of Kashmiri women who were raped by the Indian Army or the thousands of men and boys who were killed, beaten and arrested.

Shame on you and your kind!
