Watched Kashmir files today and it reminded me of an instance back a few years ago I uploaded a story regarding the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri pandits and a batchmate of mine replied 'You know about it?' I didn't have an immediate answer but a counter-question popped up in my mind why shouldn't I know about it? One of the most heinous genocides in recent history!
I said yes of course and She told me She is one of them. Her family is one of those Kashmiri pandits who fled from the valley to save their lives after her grandparents were murdered mercilessly. And I realised she asked that question because people were unaware of it and rarely talked about it. People hardly know about the exodus but the reality is out. Hopefully, more people will now stand in solidarity with Kashmiri pundits.
