I’m a Kashmiri Muslim. This Is What ‘They’ Did to Us l Arshia Malik

Arshia Malik is a Kashmiri Muslim who witnessed the rise of radical Islam in Kashmir — the Wahhabi takeover that silenced moderate voices, drove out minorities, and destroyed Kashmir’s Sufi soul. In this exclusive Bodh conversation, she opens up about how militancy, not the Indian state, tore apart the lives of common Kashmiris. In light of the recent Pahalgam attack, this conversation breaks the carefully curated Instagram narrative that calls India a coloniser and terrorists “freedom fighters.” This is a story of betrayal from within — told by someone who lived through it. 📝Research: K Venugopal, Sharan Setty
