Inshallah, Kashmir

The director takes us through a wide variety of experiences in Kashmir that flirts extensively with the idea of Indian Military Occupation of Kashmir. It conveniently leaves aside the Pandit exodus(other than a fleeting meeting with a young Kashmiri Pandit). It even goes to promote the idea that the militants were 'innocent' chaps. Well, that's how Nazis looked when they slept, didn't they. It also promotes the idea of Kashmiriyat and how it means secularism and brotherhood(that flourishes with its almost entire minority in refugee camps for 2 decades!). It mentions the peaceful spread of Islam(perhaps not aware of Sikandar the iconoclast). This is music to the Islamist fascists and anathema to any self respecting human on earth. This undoubtedly talented and fearless director can surely portray even the Germans as only the victims and the anti Nazi coalition an enemy of humanity. Bravo!

This is a piece of propaganda. One side against another. So absorbed are the makers of this documentary to demonize "the others" they ignore China. They talk about freedom, about Kashmir, yet the Chinese part is irrelevant. This is actually an extension of the bloody mindless fights between Muslims and Hindu that led to the Partition.
