A rare newspaper report from May 1984 documents attacks on Kashmiri Pandit temples and communal violence in Kashmir, indicating that the minority community faced growing insecurity years before the disputed 1987 elections. The archival record places the 1986 Anantnag riots and the 1990 exodus within a longer, documented chronology of escalating events, offering an important historical perspective on the Kashmir conflict.
From Bhutto's execution in 1979 to the Al-Aqsa protests, the US bombing of Libya and the Salman Rushdie controversy, rare newspaper archives reveal how international crises repeatedly triggered unrest in Kashmir, with local minorities often bearing the consequences of conflicts far beyond the Valley.
Thirty-six years later, the haunting memory of June 1, 1990, remains etched in the minds of those who witnessed Kheer Bhawani shrine standing almost deserted. This eyewitness account recalls a day when faith endured despite fear, displacement and the unfolding tragedy of Kashmir.
