Video of three Afridi Pashtuns captured by Indian Army near Baramullah in Kashmir, November 1947.
The three captured Afridi Pashtuns were paraded and exhibited on streets of Srinagar. They were mounted on top of a truck. Kashmiris threw chappals at them and abused them.
These three tribesmen (equipped only with rudimentary weapons) were captured after the battle with regular Indian Army (supported by aircrafts, armored cars, artillery etc.) on 7th November at Shalateng (in the outskirts of Srinagar).
Margaret Bourke-White (an American journalist), who was there when these tribesmen were put on display in front of journalists and politicians, writes that one of them was wearing blue British Royal Airforce jacket. Looted from British soldier he killed at some point in his past?

Harshi Anand witnessed that and mentioned it to Andrew Whitehead in her interview. People of Srinagar "were throwing chappals and abusing them and spitting at them".
Back then National Conference of Shaikh Abdullah (pro-India) was popular in and around Srinagar.

Read an extract from Maj Gen Akbar Khan's book, 'Raiders in Kashmir', how Pakistan used Pashtuns to invade Kashmir. This was all state sponsored.
@Pashz7
The poor pushtuns are always tricked through the name of religion; this was the first time Pakistan used them while millions Punjabis were no where to be seen
@Pashz7
Salute to these Freedom Fighters who free 33% of JK we didn't throw chappals on them dont spread ur fake propaganda here they r our heroes Kashmir was is n will remain pro Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰

It's true, most Kashmiris didn't like Pashtun Invasion. It's a fact. They stole things from kashmiri households. Kashmiris did through chappals at them, I have heard it frm my grandparents. They had done economic blockade of kashmir. It's true, 95% of Kashmiris just hated them
@Pashz7
You are narrating Indian version of incident not the real version. Read Christopher snider, who describes the reason why Muslim tribesmen went to Kashmir in the first place.
@Pashz7
Who sent these innocent Pashtuns to fight for a people with whom they have no cultural similarity? It was Mr Jinnah, the whiskey drinking Muslim whose great grandfather was not a Muslim. The Pashtuns are still used and abused in the name of Islam. No Punjabi has fought for Kshmr.
@Pashz7
The punjabis fooled the Masoom Pashtuns to go for Jihad, the pashtun was only doing what one does in a Jihad other than fighting, looting, plundering and kidnapping and rape of women. It’s all part of the package..

Maqbool Sherwani; traitor & fllwr of Sh. Abdullah; deceptively diverted Pakhtun Tribesmen enroute to liberate Kashmir from tyrannical rule of Dogra Raj. Sherwani was crucified by Kashmiri Resistance Forces eventually His grave; guarded by Ind Occ Forces in the heart of Srinagar

حضرت، لٹیروں کے ساتھ کیا کرنا چائیے؟ آپ بے شک انکو ہیرو بنا کر پیش کریں لیکن ہم کشمیری جانتے ہیں کہ انکی اکثریت نے بلا تفریق مذھب سواے لوٹ مار اور قتل عام کے کچھ بھی نہیں کیا تھا - انکو یہی بتا کرکشمیربھیجا گیا تھا کہ وہاں ہندوں کے پاس بہت مال ہے.
