The Kashmir division is largely Muslim (97.06%) with a very small Hindu (2.11%) and Sikh (0.58%) population. Among Muslims, there are Shias and Sunnis secs, majority of whom are made up of ethnic Kashmiris, with a significant minority of Pahari-Pothwari and Gujjar-Bakarwal people mainly living at the border area adjoining Pakistani administrated Kashmir. However, originally the valley had a small but visible minority of Kashmiri Hindu prior to the exodus in the 1990s. It is estimated that there were over 300,000 Kashmiri Pandits who were forced to flee due to intense persecution by Kashmiri Muslim separatists, who saw them as kafirs or infidels.
