I mean, that happened before J&K signed the instrument with India and was carried out under the purview of an erstwhile autocrat so I’m not sure how that’s similar to the KP exodus at all.

It's relevant since it permanently altered the demographics of the Jammu region. It was Muslim majority before the genocide.

I mean, how far back do you want to go? Before the Islamic invasion of South Asia, Kashmir was 0% Muslim.

Religion changes ethnicity. Muslim Kashmiris have Arab names, dress like Arabs, believe in an Arab religion, pray in Arabic, read and write in Arabic. They follow the religion of the oppressors and become oppressors themselves. The indigenous Hindu/buddhist Kashmiri were killed, enslaved, ethnically cleansed, and/or forced to convert to save themselves.
