In 1990, The Kashmiri Pandit Community was forced out of their Homes, and a Genocide took place on the streets of Kashmir
The 19th of January, 1990, was the worst day in Kashmir's history. The aboriginal people and the minority Kashmiri Pandit group were pushed out and forced to flee the Kashmir Valley at gunpoint. During late 1989 and early 1990, Kashmiri Pandits were compelled to escape the Kashmir Valley as a consequence of a premeditated plot of ethnic cleansing by JKLF terrorists and Islamist rebels with the tactic of murdering one and frightening a thousand. After living in the Valley for over 5,000 years, the entire population of 5-6 lakh Hindus was deported by death, devastation, looting, seizure of residual immovable possessions, agricultural land and orchards, and so on.
