HOW MANY MILITANTS DIED IN KASHMIR FROM 91-05.
We all know how bad that era was, but have any of yall wondered just what Pakistani Literature said about their casualties in this tumultuous time period. In 14 Years of insurgency, not even counting JKLF, who spear headed from 89-91, Pakistani accounts admit to losing 17,000+ militants in the span of 14 years.
As per Amir Rana, a Pakistani Jihadi source, 30,000 Pakistani youths have been killed fighting in Kashmir and Afghanistan from 1984-2005.
The Bulk of the fighting from 91-05 came from the ISI proxy, Hizbul, which used to have many foreign trainers and mercenaries as well as Pakistani and local Kashmiri youth. They admit to losing 12,000 killed.
From 91-02, E Taiba suffered 1,500 casualties according to its sources, This doesn’t include data from Lashkar in 2003, 04, or 05 which surely have at least 200 Lashkar death based on the trend, but alas, i’ll only post what they’ve admitted.
Then Tehrikul Mujahideen, a group of a similar islamic subgroup, also lost another 500 men.
Jama’at Tulaba Arabiya, the armed wing of the Jamaat ul Isami, also lost 2,000 cadre who fought under Hizbul Mujahideen leadership.
Harkat ul Jihadi Isami also admits to losing 650 mujahideen in kashmir. (I will find Harkat ul Mujahideen, the parent orgs, data with few more sources)
Al Badr admitted to losing 700 men, at the very minimum
Lastly, Jaish e Muhammad, in confilcit since. 2000, admits to losing 179 fighters.
So basically, Militant losses that are confirmed on the Pakistani side from 1991-2005 are:
Hizbul: 12,000
Harkat ul Jihadi Isami: 650
Jamat Tulaba Arabiya: 2,000
Lashkar e Taiba: 1,500
Jaish e Muhammad: 179
Tehrikul Mujahideen: 500
Al Badr: 700
Militants essentially admit to losing at least 17529 pigs to our forces in 14 years. Cheers
