This blog is dedicated to recording the truth of the Kashmiri Pandit exodus. Every post is based on facts, lived experiences, and historical sources. Nothing here is imagined or distorted. From the hate campaigns that led to the displacement in 1990 to the silence of institutions and the pain of exile, these writings preserve what really happened.

The goal is to keep memory alive. You will find personal stories, historical context, and comparisons with other moments of targeted violence in India. Together, these articles serve as a permanent record of one of the most tragic upheavals in modern Indian history.
