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

Interesting site! Lots to look at, although it's certainly upfront about its bias and agenda. But since I'm not aware of any sources outside of India or Pakistan for good information about Kashmir, that site is a good place to start.

I'm having difficulty reconciling your demographic factoid with the statement from the article I quoted, though.

To the best of my knowledge, Kashmir was mostly Moslem for all time since the independance.

In 1949, the decision to join India rather than Paks was the decision of then ruling Raja; not the population census. This is the basis for the Pak's claim on the land.

Kashmir Information

The info on this site is obviously one-sided, representing the view of the displaced Hindu minority. By far the majority of those killed in the Kashmir dispute have been the Kashmiri moslem civilians. While there have been sensational killings of Hindus by the Kashmiri (and foreign) militants, more people have died at the hands of Indian armed and police forces than any other group.
