In 1990 around 170,000 Kashmiri Hindus were pushed out of Kashmir, the eventual number over time became 400,000 but it's estimated over 2000 were killed by Muslims in Kashmir. This was in the news but hardly made it to regular headlines like the Rohingyas did, even the aftermath is reported but hardly in the same way. The reason? Because Hindus are he majority in India, however in Kashmir they are the minority. My point is that sometimes it's about preconceptions about the media as to who matters and who doesn't rather than the number of deaths. There is a value on a human head, sad really.
