Global Teleconference - Kashmiri Hindus with Rahul Pandita New York, USA, February 10, 2013 |
|
Rahul Pandita has written a deeply personal, powerful and unforgettable story of history, home and loss and will join the global audience in a teleconference. Our Moon has Blood Clots- The Exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits Rahul Pandita was fourteen years old when he was forced to leave his home in Srinagar along with his family, who were Kashmiri Pandits: the Hindu minority within a Muslim-majority Kashmir that was becoming increasingly agitated with the cries of ‘Azadi’ from India. Our Moon Has blood Clots is the unspoken chapter in the story of Kashmir, in which it was purged of the Kashmiri Pandit community in a violent ethnic cleansing backed by Islamist militants. Hundreds of people were tortured and killed, and about 350,000 Kashmiri Pandits were forced to leave their homes and spend the rest of their lives in exile in their own country. |
