The
Hindus of the Valley
The
Kashmiri Hindus have
a distinct identity dating to more than five
thousand years in the Valley. They are Kashmiri
speaking and followers of Hindu faith with a
unique emphasis on Shaivism. They are essentially
peace-loving and non-violent; living in a spirit
of accomodation and amity with the people of all
faiths. This bent of mind made them assimilate,
absorb and integrate the essence of those faiths
which people from outside brought into the valley.
The mingling of faiths gave birth to the Sufi-Rishi
tradition which is a part of real Kashmiriat.
