[Jpost] India's nationalist government plans to resettle tens of thousands of Hindus in three new townships in Muslim-dominated Kashmir, setting up a confrontation with separatists who say it is an Israel-style policy of creating settlements in occupied territory.
| Ah. The Hinjoo accusation. The Muslims in that part of the worls are awfully fond of that locution, being as it's almost as clever as the juices. |
Many Kashmiri Hindus, or Pandits, also say they are not in favor of the plan.
| The answer to that will lie in how many Pandits sign up to move in. |
Between 200,000 to 300,000 Hindus are estimated to have fled Kashmir after an armed revolt against New Delhi's rule erupted in 1989 and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has long vowed to return them to their homes. |
