Template:Violence against Hindus in post-1947 India
On 20th July 2001, in the month of Shraavana, 13 people were killed in a terror attack on a pilgrim night camp at Sheshnag Lake near the Amarnath Temple glacial cave shrine in Kashmir Valley in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, in two explosions and firing by militants.[1][2] In a pre-dwan attack, terrorists penetrated several layers of security cordon and exploded two improvised explosive devices (lEDs), casualties included 8 Hindu civilian pilgrims and 3 Muslim civilians, 2 security personnel.[3]
Background
The 48-days July-August annual Hindu pilgrimage, undertaken by up to 600,000 or more pilgrims to 130 feet (40 m) high glacial Amarnath cave shrine of iced stalagmite Shiv linga e at 12,756 feet (3,888 m) in Himalayas, is called Amarnath Yatra.[4][5][6] It begins with a 43 kilometres (27 mi) mountainous trek from the Nunwan and Chandanwari base camps at Pahalgam and reaches cave-shine after night halts at Sheshnag Lake and Panchtarni camps.[7] The yatra is both a way of earning revenue by the state government by imposing tax on pilgrims,[8][9] and making living by the local Shia Muslim Bakarwal-Gujjars by taking a portion of revenue and by offering services to the Hindu pilgrims, and this source of income has been threatened by the Islamist Kashmiri Sunni militant groups who have banned and attacked the yatra numerous times,[10][11][12][13][14] as well as have massacred at least 30 people in Amarnath pilgrimage terrorist-attack massacre (2000) causing death of mostly unarmed Hindu pilgrims and 7 Muslim civilians at Pahalgam town in Anantnag district.[1] See also: Amarnath pilgrimage terrorist-attack massacre (2000).
Aftermath
Union Government of India released the additional funding and state Government of Jammu and Kashmir tightened the security.[3] Few weeks later Bin Laden launched September 11 attacks on USA which forced the change in global response to the Islamic terror attacks from aloof and sporadic to united and coordinated.[15] Pakistan-backed Islamic terrorist organizations,[16] Lashkar-e-Taiba[17][18][19][20] founded by Hafiz Saeed[21][22][23][24][25][26] and Hizbul Mujahideen were designated terrorist organisations by India,[27] European Union[28] and United States.[29][30][31][32][33]
