RJ Rafia abused for getting clicked with Vivek Agnihotri: Kashmiriyat?

The famed ‘Kashmiriyat’ that we’ve all heard about for the previous a number of many years basically is touted to be a ‘sentiment’ that stems from the intrinsically inclusive society of Kashmir. The trope was created to basically whitewash the Kashmiri Hindu genocide of the Nineties when hundreds of Hindus have been brutally murdered and hundreds of thousands needed to depart Kashmir as a result of the bulk Muslim inhabitants of Kashmir couldn’t tolerate the presence of Hindus. An instance of this famed Kashmiriyat was seen not too long ago when a Muslim RJ (RJ Rafia) was focused on Twitter for getting an image clicked with a film-maker (Vivek Agnihotri) who’s at present engaged on a film exhibiting the plight of Kashmiri Hindus who have been murdered, raped and pushed away from the valley.
On January thirteenth, Vivek Agnihotri, a film-maker who’s capturing in Srinagar for a film that’s reportedly in regards to the genocide of Kashmiri Hindus, posted an image having dinner together with his crew and several other different native artists on the Lalit Hotel.
Seen within the image was additionally a Muslim RJ known as RJ Rafia. Rafia Rahim is from Charar e Sharif township, a 2016 cross out of Media Education and Research Centre, University of Kashmir. She had risen to fame and earned various reward from a number of quarters, together with The Quint, for being the primary girl RJ from Budgam.
As quickly as the image was posted, a number of Islamists from Kashmir and even elsewhere began calling her a traitor and hurling nasty abuses at her for being pictured with somebody who they take into account an ‘outsider’.
Isn’t that RJ Rafia within the image with them? 🤦🏻‍♂️ Rot all the time begins from the within!— mashriqi (@KoshurWaav) January 14, 2021

Aside from being branded a traitor, Muslims from Kashmir additionally alleged that the film that was being filmed was in opposition to Muslims of Kashmir and speaking about Kashmiri Hindus was branded because the ‘Hindutva Genocidal Agenda”.

Call out Such Collaborators, Hypocrites Who are Promoting Their Genocidal Agenda’s.

Only in Kashmir will you discover native Radio jockeys assembly and having a contented meal with somebody who’s vilifying, demonising and making a propaganda movie in opposition to their very own group and holding them answerable for crimes they by no means dedicated.— Daniyal❦ (@daniyalbr) January 14, 2021
Hilariously, branding fellow Islamists as ‘sane’ one Muslim urged each different “sane Muslim” to unfollow RJ Rafia.
It is a honest enchantment to all sane Okay-Twitter voices to unfollow @Mirchi_Rafia who appears to be not more than an IGNORANT station Radio JockeyWe don’t need these collaborators to be our representatives.

And, in fact, the famed Kashmiriyat made an look.
These artists and these RJs who’re promoting their conscience for couple of pennies and pretend fame are roughly complicit within the tyranny which is being showered on us. They are serving to them in erecting the construction of Kashmiriyat from our crushed bones. These folks aren’t (+)— Musa موسیٰ🍁 (@Abdulhamid_1122) January 14, 2021
We additionally realised that not jus Khalistanis ‘born and raised in Canada’ however Islamists too had an opinion on what Indians can do and say in India.
I simply can’t even fathom how folks like this exist in Kashmir. As somebody born and raised in Canada I may by no means sit with a person who has insulted our faith, our tradition and our folks time and time once more. You lack honor, disgrace, and self-respect. https://t.co/VfiKXYtVUv— Afsheen Mujahid Chak (@SheenHatun) January 14, 2021
After the relentless trolling, RJ Rafia tweeted a clarification that she was not a traitor and in reality, quite dedicated to the reason for Kashmir. She stated she had completely no thought who the Director was and what film he was planning on making. Presumably, she meant that if she did know {that a} film-maker had proven the temerity to really speak about how Kashmiri Muslims raped, murdered and drove away Kashmiri Hindus, she wouldn’t have gotten clicked with him.
Its very unhappy that we being Kashmiris need to show ourselves.I used to be there to interview the Actor “Darshan Kumar” and it was a enjoyable chat for my present.He talked about his life struggles,his performing abilities & his future targets.I’ve no thought what the movie is about and what the director is.— Rj Rafia (@Mirchi_Rafia) January 14, 2021
Meanwhile, the film-maker who had sparked the row by speaking about ‘vegetarian Wazwan’, deleted the tweet and stated that he didn’t need to endanger any of his native associates since, after his put up, a number of of them have been getting threatened and abused.
I don’t need anybody’s life threatened or made depressing simply due to one tweet. I hope you perceive.— Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri (@vivekagnihotri) January 15, 2021
Reportedly, Vivek Agnihotri’s film may solely be shot beneath strict safety and thus, we realise what the character of true ‘Kashmiriyat’ actually is.
For many years, Indians have been advised that Kashmiri Muslims are falsely vilified and conspiracy theories are floated about why Kashmiri Hindus really “left” the valley. They blame the then governor and journalists like Barkha Dutt even give the Muslims a free cross by claiming that the Kashmiri Muslims harboured animosity in opposition to the Hindus due to purely financial causes and never as a result of they wished to wage Jihad and homicide Kafirs. The slogans of La illaha Illalla, Allahu Akbar and ‘Kashmir main rehna hai to Allahu Akbar kehna hoga’ slogans are whitewashed. The reality that there have been bulletins made out of mosques to kill kaafirs have been fully ignored. That Hindu girls have been raped, males have been murdered and Hindus have been requested to both convert, depart or die is pushed beneath the rug.
While genocide of Hindus happened on our personal land, the famed sham of ‘Kashmiriyat’ was foisted upon the remainder of India, to make us imagine that Kashmiri Muslims have been ‘inclusive’ and Hindus merely up and left on their very own, for no fault of the Islamists.
This current incident is simply one other indication as to how that facade of Kashmiriyat drops each single day, with Islamists desirous to exclude even Muslims who they view as ‘traitors’. Even sharing a meal with those that don’t agree with the present technology of Islamists, who purport that they’re solely attempting to uphold secularism, is one thing that may make a Muslim RJ go from being an ally to being a ‘Mukhbir’.
While politicians and people with a vested curiosity in protecting Kashmir a festering wound repeatedly inform us that Kashmiriyat is the sentiment of being a Kashmiri, which is actually about preserving their very own tradition and welcoming everybody else with an open arm, it’s quite evident that Kashmiriyat is insular, illiberal and has violent Islamism on the core of it.
While it’s quite tragic that even after a genocide of Hindus one wants such examples to speak in regards to the reality of ‘Kashmiriyat’, maybe each such incident will get us nearer to the reality. It is claimed that with out actually understanding and accepting the roots of the issue, the issue itself is inconceivable to unravel. The root of the battle in Kashmir is the underlying Islamism that’s embedded in a big part of the Kashmiri Muslim inhabitants and maybe until we acknowledge that stark actuality, an answer to the issue can be inconceivable to search out.
