The Kashmiri Hindu exodus was the result of an insurgency which made Pandits scared of their Muslim brothers. It was a dark period when one could trust none and fake idea of secularism and so called Kashmiriyat was unmasked. BK Ganjoo, a Kashmiri pandit too went through the same fate.
 
 
Ganjoo, a telecom engineer was on his way to home during the curfew relaxation period when he suspected some footsteps approaching him. He ignored it as he would have hardly expected that he was being followed by terrorists. When he reached near his house, his wife, however, observed that he was being followed by some unknown men. As Ganjoo entered his house, she quickly bolted and locked the door. But the terrorists were undeterred and crashed through. Ganjoo ran up to the third floor of his house and hid himself in a rice bin. The terrorists checked the entire house but were unable to find him so they decided to leave as they could not locate their victim. But there were more terrorists in disguise too and fate had willed otherwise. Ganjoo's muslim neighbours, who had seen Ganjoo hid himself in the bin helped the terrorists return and locate him pointing towards the container. Out they pulled him, pumped him with bullets and left him bleeding on the rice. While leaving, the cowards shouted, "Let the rice soak in your blood and let your children eat it. Ah, what a tasty meal would it be".
 
 
 
 
None of such horrible incidents ever reached upto the ears of the deaf administration, the blindfold law and order. Ganjoo’s family still lives in exile like many others of the community probably hoping for a bright morning seeking them long awaited justice.
