There never was a moral stand by those who threw Pandits out ( we never did, but then Mattan has been an exception largely). They were open and honest. It was the call to cleanse the Valley.@SarthakGanguly
This is one of those undocumented and largely un-lamented tragedies. The Kashmiri Pundits had their lands and property expropriated, their livelihoods snatched and their lives uprooted. For those who think that this was some from of appropriate retaliation in lieu of the Pundit's support for the "Indian establishment", bare in mind that if support is criteria for being designated as a legitimate target then most of the moral stands being taken by said posters elsewhere are hollow and defunct.
Only apologists or armchair fanatics who played no part in this mess try to take a moral stand on this issue. The KMs don't shed tears for us. They never did, never will, save for exceptions.
Important point is that the exodus of the population did not happen because of a number of terror attacks. It happened because the Muslim neighbors started calling for blood of their non Muslim 'friends'. You can check the DD Kashir footage. There are plenty of example of apartheid that we faced then and continue to face today. But let's leave it.
I try to avoid threads like this. I don't have any positive expectation from the Government of India in this regard. We just don't count.
