Kashmir Massacres
The Muslim and Hindu
peoples of Kashmir have lived in relative harmony and friendliness since
the 13th century when Islam first became the majority religion in Kashmir.
The Sufi-Islamic way of life that ordinary Muslims followed in Kashmir
complemented the rishi tradition of Kashmiri Pandits (Hindus), leading
to a syncretic culture where Hindus and Muslims revered the same local
saints and prayed at the same shrines.
