At a time when fears of a demographic invasion are running rife in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), a government website has declared the conflict-ridden Muslim-majority region a Hindu majority. The InvestJK website, run by the Indian Industries and Commerce Department, describes under its heading on Temples that, "be it Kashmir or Jammu, the population is predominantly Hindu." According to government census data, however, only four of IIOJK 20 districts are Hindu majority, with the rest Muslim majority. Under Places to Visit are the three famous lakes of the Kashmir Valley and two in Jammu. Incorrect population figures and failure to name any of the hundreds of religious places in the Kashmir Valley have evoked sharp criticism.
