Kashmiri Hindus to commemorate their 30th year in exile

19th January 1990, has been a date that is etched in the heart of every Kashmiri Hindu as the date when they were forced out of their homes, en-mass.

Kashmiri Pandits Cultural Society, UK will commemorate this on 19th January 2020 near Victoria, London, to mark the 30th Year in Exile of Kashmiri Hindus and to pay special tribute to the Revered Kashmiri Hindu Saint and Poetess, Lalleshwari 'Lal Ded' in commemoration of her 700th Birth Anniversary.

On the day “Awakening of the Global Hindu” a special keynote address will be delivered by the Kashmiri Hindu Activist and our former columnist, Sushil Pandit.

Pandit is a prominent Kashmiri leader and above all, an intellectual well informed in the history of Kashmir. His recent talk in India emphasised the need to confront the issues prevailing in Kashmir and provided keen insights into how India as a nation can put the politics of partition behind to build a stronger and more united country.

The programme will include poignant readings of first person accounts of Kashmiri Hindu Genocide survivors living in the UK. There will also be an exhibition of Journeys of Kashmiri Hindu Exodus along with a Special Exhibition on the Life and Oral Teachings, 'Lal Vaakh' of Saint Lalleshwari.
