I had assumed that it was mostly Hindus.

Kashmir was 60% Muslim, 40% Hindu just a decade ago. Now it is 90% Muslim. Religion of piece, indeed!

It is hard to find references on demographics as stated by a third party. A google search wasn't much help except for this excerpt from a UN report...

"Some 300,000 displaced Kashmiri Hindus were suffering abysmally in camps after fleeing Islamist violence in Kashmir. The extremist and terrorist organizations had launched a religious crusade against this ethnic and religious minority, and had been publicly taking pride for "killing Hindus" in the name of jihad. The displacement of the Kashmiri pandits had resulted in loss of homes, property, land, education, employment, and had caused immense social, familial, and cultural damage. "
