Respected Sir,Today, , the Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC), a representative organization of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community living in exile, respectfully again submit this urgent humanitarian memorandum seeking your kind intervention and consideration regarding the prolonged displacement and suffering of the indigenous Kashmiri Pandit community. .
The Kashmiri Pandits, one of the world’s oldest surviving indigenous communities, were forced to flee the Kashmir Valley during the tragic events of 1989-1990 due to widespread threats, targeted killings, religious persecution, intimidation, and an atmosphere of terror created by militancy. As a consequence, more than four lakh members of the community were compelled to abandon their ancestral homes, properties, temples, educational institutions, cultural centres and centuries-old heritage.Sir , more than three and a half decades have now passed. Yet a large segment of the community continues to live in exile, deprived of its ancestors land struggling to preserve its unique identity, culture, language, traditions and religious heritage.The displacement of Kashmiri Pandits remains one of the most painful and unresolved humanitarian tragedies in contemporary South Asian history.
Thousands of families continue to suffer social, economic, psychological and cultural consequences arising from this forced migration.In view of the above, we today again, humbly appeal to the Hounrable National Human rights Commission of India and others for your kind attention as under. 1.Acknowledge and recognize the humanitarian suffering and forced displacement endured by the Kashmiri Pandit
