April 1998, terrorists entered a Hindu village in Prankote, Srinagar.
Everyone was rounded up. The choice was given: convert and eat beef to prove acceptance of the new religion, or die. Not one converted.
The terrorists didn’t fire a single bullet. Everyone was beheaded in cold blood, including women and children as young as two to three years old. First the kids were beheaded in front of their parents, then women in front of their husbands and lastly the men. Only two girls survived somehow.
The police found out two days later. The then CM, Farooq Abdullah, said that the village resembled a ghost town, with beheaded bodies lying scattered. There was no one around.
Manzoor Ahmed, the main conspirator, was caught later and was awarded only life imprisonment in 2003. He must be a free man by now.
This is just one of the hundreds of massacres that Hindus have faced in Kashmir since independence. Nothing has changed. They are still being killed, yet somehow the majority community in the valley is portrayed as victims all the time.
