Kashmiri Pandits' Agony - Childhood lost in
camps In the 1989-1991 time period, nearly 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits
were expelled from their native Kashmir valley after a combination of
violence and explicit threats by Islamic terrorists aided and inspired
by Pakistan. In the last decade, India-Pakistan tensions have
continued and spiraled, especially over the state of Jammu and
Kashmir. The tensions recently culminated in the Kargil invasion by
thousands of Pakistani troops and supporting Islamic mercenaries.
However, through a decade of continuing violence initiated by
Pakistani elements, most of the hundreds of thousands of Kashmiri
Pandits who have been expelled from their homeland continue to be
ignored at the state, national and international level.
