Some real life incidents that happened with Pandits over the years :

👉 Sarvanand Kaul 'Premi' - A Kashmiri Poet and Scholar. Premi had spent his whole life with Ⓜ️uslim neighbours. He was sure when things will go wrong, nobody would touch him. Infact, he believed his Ⓜ️uslim Neighbours will protect him. His relatives repeatedly told him to leave the valley - but he had full faith in his Ⓜ️uslim Neighbours. On the night of April 29, 1990 - three armed men forcefully entered his house - Premi and his son were led away from the house by armed men. After a day, their bodies were found hanging from a tree - nails had been hammered right between their eyebrows - the place where Pandits apply Tilak.
