Thread on "Panun Kashmir" project by GOI.

The government is building townships for Kashmiri Pandits across Eastern Kashmir presently.

Compared to the densely populated Western part, Eastern Kashmir is v sparsely populated.

Districts East of the Jhelum river can accommodate a lot of Hindus.

Districts like Ganderbal, Bandipora, Kupwara, Srinagar, Pulwama and Anantnag have a population of around 1.7 M but can accommodate 2X as many Hindus.

Srinagar district is divided into two tehsils - North and South.

The near entire population of the district is concentrated in the Western part leaving the Eastern part vacant essentially.

Kupwara can also be settled with Hindus as it has the lowest share of Kashmiris in all of the division as well as the highest share of Hindus

Baramulla will be hard to settle as it is hilly but can still take in considerable Hindu population. Tangmarg tehsil was 27% Hindu in 80s

Kulgam cannot be settled as it is prone to avalanches while Shopian is a hotbed for insurgency.

All together, 6/10 districts of Kashmir can be flipped to Hindu majority.

Eastern Kashmir can take in around 4M Hindus in its sparse lands before it reaches saturation point.

This will bring down share of Muslims in Kashmir from 96% to 55% with some additional 500k elsewhere in the division.

By 2050, Muslims will fall to 39% owing to TFR differences.

Out of the 6 hill districts of Jammu, 4 will likely flip to Hindu majority in the next 5-6 years.

Reasi and Doda will be first, followed by Kishtwar and Rajouri.
