The Baramulla massacre
Jammu & Kashmir has been regarded as the most beautiful tourist destinations around the world. Unfortunately, the fate of this heaven was penned with bloodshed and violence, and the Kashmir Valley has witnessed some of the most violent and gruesome clashes ever in any region on Earth. Kashmir resides squeezed between the two nations whose political ambitions left the region in unrepairable turmoil.
In 1947, in the midst of a winter night, a group of shady militants crossed the Jhelum from the South Waziristan region of Pakistan and entered Kashmir Valley brutally slaying the locals.
They were assisted by Pakistani soldiers in civilian clothes. Muzaffarabad fell on the 24th of October 1947, and the soldiers captured Baramulla the following day.
They also raped and killed Christian Missionary Nuns and nurses at St Joseph’s Hospital on their way to Srinagar airport.
According to Tariq Ali, the local cinema became a “rape center,” with atrocities continuing for several days.
The Baramulla region of Nadimarg has been a region of frequent conflicts.
On the midnight of the second and third of October 2016, militants attacked a camp of the Indian Army’s 46 Rashtriya Rifles in the Baramulla district of Jammu & Kashmir.
The attack was said to have begun at 10:30 pm local time, with at least one officer of the Border Security Force (BSF) killed and a number injured. Two militants were reported to have been killed.
The attack came within weeks after militants attacked an Indian Army installation in Baramulla district’s Uri area.
