The Kashmir aka KΓ‘Ε›mΔ«ra - We don't want

I think like me most of us are disheartened or saddened with what is happening with the migrants in Kashmir , or with the Hindu minorities in Bangladesh

I have written or summarised quite a lot of posts about Kashmiri Hindus , So when you look to what happened in the 1990s to now , has anything changed ?

Yes a lot of things have changed, India has progressed so much ahead, world has progressed so much ahead. Missions to Mars, Moons, robots landing on Mars so many other scientific , infra and industrial development around us. The lower middle class climbing up the ladder, Indian population's purchasing caps increasing a bit and several things.

But what hasn't changed is the radical islamization that happened in the 1990s and that happened in the recent weeks. And the shocking attack of Hindus again where there population is already dwindling.

And the other difference is also having what people thought was a strong leader with greater support behind him, to do what it takes to remove the hate , protect all religious followers and faith. But we are seeing is just a silent leader who atleast from the appearance and representation doesn't seem to give a fish about what happened.

Nothing not even a condemnation or message that people who are behind this won't be spared, what the Indian public is getting is absolute silence.........

Just a lack to the history and remember what happened in the 1990s

June 23, 1989

On June 23, 1989, pamphlets were distributed in Srinagar. It was an ultimatum to Muslim women, by an organization that called itself Hazb-i-Islami, to comply with β€˜Islamic’ standards within two days or face β€˜action’. Pandit women were asked to put a tilak on their foreheads for identification.


September 2, 1989 On September 2, the 300-year-old Baba Reshi shrine was gutted in a fire under mysterious circumstances. On the same morning, a wireless operator of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), was shot in our neighbourhood.


October 14 1989

On Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi, on October 14 1989, a massive crowd gathered near the Budshah chowk in the heart of Srinagar, and from there, it marched towards Eidgah to the graveyard that had been renamed the β€˜martyr’s graveyard’. The onlookers cheered and showered shireen on the marchers as if to welcome a marriage procession. The crowd was shouting slogans that had shocked most of the Kashmiri Hindus and a few Muslim Nationalists,

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
