How Kashmir Was Islamised

Descripción:

What was Kashmir before Islam? How did a valley once filled with temples, scholars, and ancient universities become the ideological cradle of Pakistan? In this Bodh episode, we uncover the forgotten history of Kashmir’s transformation—from its deep-rooted Hindu and Buddhist traditions to centuries of systematic Islamisation. This story spans temple destruction, mass conversions, Sufi missionaries, Afghan invasions, and state-sponsored religious cleansing. Featuring accounts of Lalitaditya, Sayyid Ali Hamadani, Sultan Sikandar, and Zain-ul-Abidin, this is the story Pakistan textbooks avoid—and modern India is forgetting.
