The time line shows how a small community gets dispersed slowly and is now on the line of disappearance. They find themselves completely lost from the roots of their ancestors. Their roots cut, their thousands of years of culture ruined, and their traditions now nowhere seen. The exit of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley of Kashmir was arranged in a unique and innovative way. Presenting the observations on their past religion, culture, and dress, while being wonderfully entertaining, the community feels that their kith and kin being harassed by religious zealots over the period of time. It has created a brilliant satire on the rulers of Kashmir as it sends its message of ethnic cleansing.During these twenty five years of forced exile Kashmiri Pandits have been roaming from place to place in search of their livelihood. While the Kashmiri Pandits a God fearing race believed on peaceful means and dharma, the fundamentalists took advantage of it and snatched away our ancestral land.

Download or read book Kashmir Its Aborigines and Their Exodus written by Colonel Tej K Tikoo and published by Lancer Publishers LLC. This book was released on with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir in 1989 was their seventh such exodus since the arrival of Islam in Kashmir in the fourteenth century. This was precipitated by the outbreak of Pakistan-sponsored insurgency across Kashmir Valley in 1989. The radical Islamists targeted Pandits - a minuscule community in Muslim dominated society creating enormous fear, panic and grave sense of insecurity. In the face of ruthless atrocities inflicted on them, the Pandits’ sole concern was ensuring their own physical safety and their resolve not to convert to Islam. Over 350,000 Kashmiri Pandits were forced to flee en masse leaving their home and hearth. This was the single largest forced displacement of people of a particular ethnicity after partition of India. Pandits’ travails did not end with the exodus. The obstructive and intimidating attitude of the State administration towards the Pandit refugees made their post-exodus existence even more miserable. The Government at the Centre too remained indifferent to their plight. This book traces the Pandits’ economic and political marginalization in the State over the past six decades and covers in detail the events that led to their eventual exodus. In the light of ethnic cleansing of Pandits from the Valley, the book also examines some critical issues so crucial to India’s survival as a multi-cultural, liberal and secular democracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kashmiri Pandits have long played a vital role in Indian politics, and have made outstanding contributions to Indian culture and society. This study attempts to present a balanced history of the Pandits, drawing on both documented fact and legendary history. An important focus of the latter analysis is the use made, by a group vulnerable to changes in the "host" society, of reconstructed versions of historical tradition when the need to conform assumed primary importance. Sender consequently provides an invaluable analysis of the nature of a minority cultural group.
