There is an idiotic notion promulgated by a certain breed of “eminent historians” and their clan of useful idiots that Kashmir was never Hindu. While any well read person knows this not to be true, this false narrative continues to gain ground, especially in this age of misinformation.
This excellent report, written in 1848, is a slap on the faces of all those people. For Kashmir was not just the land of the temples but Kashmiri hindus (then majority) were known as shastra-shilpina or architects, whose skill of temple building was famous across Bharat.
Kashmir perhaps remains the one place in India where temples were not destroyed by the bigoted Turks, but by their later day progeny, aka the converted muslims who invaded the land of rishi Kashyap in subsequent waves (thus resulting in multiple genocides of Hindus in Kashmir, the latest being 1990). Even in this report, many of the temples that now stand destroyed, are seen standing erect.
Read this, If you are a Kashmiri or if you want the truth about what Kashmir was.
