1000 years ago there were NIL Muslims in Kashmir. The word Kashmir is an ancient Sanskrit word which literally means Land of Kashyap Rishi.
Kashyap Rishi was a Saraswat Brahmin and one of the Saptarshis, who was key in formalizing the ancient Historical Vedic Religion. The Hindu Kashmiri Pandits are his descendants and have named the valley after him, in his honour
Few years ago, History Channel showed a frozen pass in the Himalayas , where thousands of civilian men , women and children with no weapons on them lay dead huddled together in a small area. Their bodies were intact due to the cold and they appeared frozen in time, almost in a deep sleep, ready to get up after a good rest.
The commentator said that it appears that these people died about 500 years ago, and they had no dang clue how this happened.
This is what happens when History Channel does NOT know history.
These were the frozen bodies of Kashmiri Pandits who were persecuted during the rule of Sikandar Butshikan 600 years ago. He was an ethnic cleanser who was the first to be guilty of a holocaust.
This 7th Muslim king of Kashmir , Sikandar Butshikan , was the most cruel of all the Muslim rulers who invaded India. He was the the second Sultan of the Swati Afghan Shah Miri dynasty of Kashmir 1389–1413 AD.
His cousins were ruling Afghanistan and the Western part of Pakistan. They had been ruling Kabul lagmant and Swat in 1190–1520, and are known as Jahangiri dynasty in history.
It took his soldiers 13 months to destroy the glorious 3100 year old Marthanda Sun Temple of Kashmir--such was its amazing strength with huge interlocking stones..
I would like you to go to Google EARTH and zoom in on the site of The Martanda temple (coordinates Lat 33°44′44″N Long 75°13′13″E) nine kilometres east-north-east of Anantnag district headquarters.

Above is a black and white photo of this magnificent temple , taken in 1868 by John Burke.
Below: 5100 year old Sharada Peeth is a University in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.. Visiting Namboodiri professors from Kodungallur University Kerala ( including Adi Shankaracharya ) taught here after opening the Dakshin Dwar.. Adi Shankaracharya consecrated the Mookambika temple at Kollur Karnataka 4000 years ago, and the idol of Sharada was a replica from this temple..
Sikandar Butshikan personally supervised destruction of huge glorious temples, he got a kick out of this. I guess the real reason is that he did NOT trust his own generals to truthfully declare the amount of gold they got from the temple underground vaults—as it had happened at the Marthanda temple .
This caused a remarkable incident .
After a temple built by Raja Bulnat was torn down and its basements and vaults dug up, a copper-plate was discovered, on which was the following inscription:
"Raja (king) Bulnat, having built this temple, was desirous of ascertaining from his astrologers how long it would last, and was informed by them that after eleven hundred years, a king named Sikundar would destroy it, as well as the other temples in Kashmir”.
Sikandar was totally surprised, and angry that such accurate predictions could be made by Hindu astrologer priests. It is on record that he raved and ranted the whole day after consuming opium , that if he had known about this copper plate before , he would have not have destroyed this temple –just to prove the Hindu priests wrong.
This cruel Muslim king authorised his soldiers to rape dead Hindu women who took poison to escape capture. He had already banned all Hindus in Kashmir from cremating their dead bodies.
For a Hindu cremation after death is a must to prevent the soul being trapped on earth.
He banned dance, drama, music and iconography as aesthetic activities of the Hindus and fiated them as heretical and un-Islamic. He forbade the Hindus to apply a tilak mark on their foreheads. He did not permit them to pray and worship, blow a conch shell or toll a bell. A heavy Jizya (tax) equal to 4 tolas of silver was imposed on the Hindus.
