[Reader-list] National Meet on the Status of Muslims, Oct 3-5, Delhi

[Lalit Ambardar]

Miniscule minority of Kashmiri Hindu Pandits was subjected to ethnic cleansing in Kashmir valley by the Kashmiri pan Islamists seeking secession of Kashmir from India on the grounds that Kashmir was an unfinished agenda of the two nation theory based partition of India. The ongoing Islamic insurgency in Kashmir has lead to the biggest ever human displacement since the partition. The civil society in general & the rights groups are conspicuously silent even as the Kashmiri Pandits continue to live as refugees in their own country for the past two decades. Why…????....
