Why has the World Forgotten the Genocide of the Kashmiri Pandits?

The world has never concerned itself with the misery of the Hindus, let alone the sufferings of the Kashmiri Pandits who have endured innumerable atrocities, many genocides and exoduses. Despite the few initiatives taken by leaders to highlight the cause of the Kashmiri Pandits, their struggle persists as most of the initiatives are marred by those seeking political dividends.While the world remains uninformed, the responsibility of highlighting the cause of the Kashmiri Pandits will have to be borne by those of us who are genuinely concerned about finding a resolution. On 23rd March 2003, 24 Kashmiri Pandits were massacred by the terrorists associated with the Lashkar-e-Taiba in Nadimarg, near Shopian in the Pulwama district. It was internationally condemned including US official...

Israel Terror Attack and the Lessons for Bharat

Today a terrorist may rejoice in killing Jews in a holy war, tomorrow it could be any other community that might find itself in a situation similar to the one the Kashmiri Pandits were in the 1990s.The foot soldier of Islam can easily be directed in any way his master wants, one who will serve his own interests and this becomes extremely dangerous when the abettors are sovereign nations.Bharat's confused self-image along with the twisted understanding and the crude imitation of the concept of European secularism has led to many unspeakable injustices carried out in the country, which is not the case with Israel which proudly identifies itself as a Jewish state. "Learn from the mistakes of others. You can't live long enough to make them all yourself."- Eleanor Roosevelt As the co...

The Importance of Showcasing Atrocities against Hindus in a Competitive World

If the atrocities against Hindus have to be highlighted across the world, it must be done with the timing and strategy of political and social awareness and without any hesitation. Genocide and atrocities against Hindus have been afoot in multiple nations today - Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Fiji, West Indies, Myanmar, Indonesia etc.But there has been little to no attention given to atrocities against Hindus simply because the world did not find any use and considered it 'normal' or as a historical change.India under the current leadership seems to be making relevant noises and it is with these changing times we should keep a good view of our efforts and continuous movement to fulfil our goals around it. India is rising. There is no denial. Those who deny are ye...

The Kashmir files – A brochure for Islamic barbarism

(Image credit: @sudarsansand on Twitter) No fancy foreign locations or masala songs. There is neither the customary breathtaking views of Kashmir nor is it an art film. Yet, the film keeps you on the edge of your chair and leaves you speechless. The story of Kashmiri Pandits makes you numb and as an Indian, you will be ashamed for not knowing their true history. The director, also a co-producer, Vivek Agnihotri has to be appreciated for his courage to bring the truth of the Kashmiri Pandit genocide on screen. The Bollywood mafia hated him ever since his ideological transformation. Standing firmly with the truth of the Kashmiri Pandit community made him stand apart. The mainstream Bollywood had cold-shouldered Vivek Agnihotri for his earlier films 'Buddha in a traffic jam' and 'Tas...

Opinion | I watched ‘The Kashmir Files’; Just like me, India will now know ‘Nadru’!

As the credits started to roll, we all got up to leave amid a silence unheard of. Never in my life have I experienced such silence at the end of a movie and saw people walking quietly out of a film theatre. No one spoke, the audience walked quietly without pushing one another and it felt like returning home from a funeral. I felt everyone was thinking and contemplating and that is the effect The Kashmir Files had on the audiences at the theatre I watched in Bangalore and presumably all over India. As a student of history, particularly medieval and contemporary history that is never taught to us in our schools and universities, I thought I could prepare myself to watch this movie and nothing would surprise me because, with films, it is very rare when I am surprised. Ho...
