For 67 years (1752-1819 AD), the Afghans ruled over Kashmir & ensured it was the darkest period of Islamic oppression. The reign of terror forced Hindus to migrate, convert to Islam, or be ruthlessly killed. In the end, it's said only 11 Pandit families survived in Kashmir.
Asad Khan was the worst of the oppressors. He would tie up Kashmiri Pandits in grass sacks & drown them in Dal Lake in pairs. For amusement, a jar of excreta was placed on Pandit's head & Muslims pelted the jar with stones till it broke & the Hindu was blinded with filth.
The Pandits, who used to display moustaches proudly, were forced to grow beards. They were forbidden from wearing Turbans, shoes, or Tika (Tilaks) on their foreheads.
Later, Pandits wore exaggerated Tikas & overly long turbans in memory of the tyranny of Pathan times. During the Afghan rule, 'Jazia', the poll tax imposed on Hindus, was revived.
During these days, any Muslim who met a Pandit would jump on his back & take a ride, saying,Ã You are a Brahman & I will mount youÃ. This horrifying phrase still survives as a Kashmiri saying.

    Atta Muhamad Khan & his army were sexual predators who used agents to hunt Brahman girls. So terrified were poor Hindus of their lust that they destroyed their daughterÃ(TM)s beauty by shaving off their heads, cutting off their noses, or disfiguring them to escape from rape.
Kashmiri Pandit wedding customs bear testament to this cruel trauma. On the day of marriage, a male relative is decked out in the same fashion as the bridegroom, who is known as the Pot maharaja, because at any point the Pathans could seize the bridegroom & kidnap the bride.
Asad Khan was succeeded by Madad Khan, who was even more brutal. He bound Hindus in cow leather sacks before drowning them to ensure their faith was violated. They were killed at the same Batta Mazar (Graveyard of Pandits) on Dal Lake, where 37 Kg of Janeu were found.
No wonder the era of Afghan rule over Kashmir is known as a time of brutal tyranny motivated by Islamic fanaticism. Kashmiri Hindus had to suffer intolerable brutality & cruelty under the savage Pathans, who thought no more of cutting off heads than of plucking a flower.

how is a floatation tank a shortcut to Hindu Vedic Indian meditation

A **floatation tank**â"also known as a sensory deprivation tankâ"can act as a shortcut to the deep states of meditation described in **Hindu Vedic Indian traditions** by rapidly removing the external distractions and physical discomforts that often make traditional meditation challenging for beginners[1][2][9].

**Key ways a floatation tank mimics or accelerates Vedic meditation:**

- **Pratyahara (Withdrawal of the Senses):** In Vedic meditation, a key step is pratyahara, or the turning inward of the senses. A float tank creates an environment with no light, sound, or tactile input, making it much easier for your awareness to naturally withdraw from the external world and focus inwardâ"something that typically takes years of disciplined practice to achieve[1][2][9].
- **Physical Ease:** Traditional meditation postures can cause discomfort, which distracts the mind. In a float tank, the body is weightless and fully supported, eliminating aches and pains and allowing deeper mental relaxation[1][2][5].
- **Rapid Entry to Deep States:** Floatation tanks can help users reach the **theta brainwave state**â"a meditative state associated with deep relaxation, creativity, and insightâ"much more quickly than sitting meditation, which can take years of practice to access regularly[10][12].
- **Distraction-Free Environment:** The absence of external stimuli and physical discomfort allows for quicker and more profound entry into meditative states, making it easier even for beginners to experience deep meditation[2][4][12].
- **Modern Parallel to Ancient Practice:** In India, float therapy is being embraced as a contemporary tool that aligns with the ancient ethos of seeking harmony between mind, body, and spirit. It is seen as a modern-day meditation chamber, where the boundaries between self and the infinite can dissolve, echoing the goals of Vedic meditation[9].

> âoeFloat therapy, with its sensory-reduced environment, provides a novel context for meditation, offering a space where the distractions of the external world are eliminated, and the mind can journey inward without impediment. Practitioners find that the float tank serves as a modern-day meditation chamber, where the boundaries between the self and the infinite dissolve, facilitating a deep state of meditation that might take years to achieve through traditional practices.â[9]

While a floatation tank can act as a shortcut to the **states of consciousness** sought in Hindu Vedic meditation, it is not a replacement for the philosophical or spiritual aspects of the tradition. Instead, it provides an efficient and accessible way to experience the **mental clarity, relaxation, and self-awareness** that are central to these ancient practices[1][2][9][10].
