‘Radioactive’ Gulmarg: Kashmir’s long romance with rumours

Threat to Kashmiri Pandits was there long before 1990

From threatening posters in 1965 to a chilling letter sent to a Kashmiri Pandit businessman in 1984, the record shows that intimidation of Kashmir’s minorities predates the violence of 1989-90. As fresh threats surface in 2026, the old pattern—identify, intimidate and force submission—appears disturbingly familiar.
