Kashmiri Pandit, India in Secret Codes: Unveiling Kashmir Conspiracy

( Kashmir Rechords Exclusive)

It was an era of different “End-to-End Encryption’’ when cheat codes were devised to carry out sabotage and further anti-India narrative in Kashmir.
The story dates back to the Kashmir Conspiracy, the mention of which has been ably and diligently made by B N Mullik, an Indian civil servant, spymaster and the second Director of the Intelligence Bureau of India.

In his Book on Kashmir, published by Allied Publishers in April 1971, B N Mullik, besides giving other accounts, mentions how Pakistani intelligence agencies through their sympathizers were using secret codes to pass on information.

In the absence of WhatsApp, e-mail, or any other digital medium, they were using letters, stuffed with secret messages, mostly in Urdu, to carry forward their nefarious designs.

Kashmiri Pandit was a “ Saudgar’’

Mullik, who smashed this network, found interesting disclosures that he has carried in the Book.  As per the Book, Kashmiri Pandit in secret code language was addressed as “Saudagar’’, while “ India’’ was referred to as “ Baramulla’’, `Srinagar’ as “Rampur’’ and “Pakistan’ as “Sopore.’’.’

India’s First Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru was addressed as “Jaffar’’.  For saboteurs,   “ Kashmir’’ was “ Talab’’, while “ Azad Kashmir’’ (PoK) was referred to as “ Chaudhari Lucknow’’.

Mullik’s book mentions about 105 such names, which were in use but were deciphered by Indian Intelligence Agencies to smash the Pakistani Plan in the Kashmir Conspiracy Case.
