Question

who wrote Rajtarangini​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kashmir: Exposing the Myth Behind the Narrative (SAGE Publications, 2017), a new book by a former Kashmiri state civil servant, Khalid Bashir Ahmad, challenges what the author calls Kashmir’s popular ‘Hindu historiography.’ According to Ahmad, the historical text Rajatarangini (by Kalhana) is inaccurate, as well as the popular narrative that Islamic settlers’ forced mass conversion on Kashmiri Hindus, expelled local populations, and wantonly demolished non-Islamic religious symbols. The book also says that the region’s residents practiced Buddhism for over a millennium before ‘militant Hinduism’ obliterated the religion.

Ahmad claims that a Kashmiri Brahmin minority and its progeny successfully perpetuated this fallacious narrative over centuries. Following the advent of armed insurgency and the subsequent mass migration of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, the book claims, this communal narrative became the mainstream Indian view.
