Invitation to "We Remember: The Journey of Kashmiri Pandits"

As historic events unfold in Jammu and Kashmir, the Kashmiri Pandits (Hindu minorities from Kashmir valley) continue to be in exile, bereft of justice. The journey home remains a dream yet life's challenges are bravely met with by courageous members of this small but significant community. 30 years equals an entire generation that has lived in suffering, physical as well as emotional. This is a journey of finding the homes that are lost, identity that has been targeted and a faith that has been attacked.

A poignant remembrance of the "Journeys of Homes" presented by the children and friends of the Kashmiri Pandit (Hindu) community celebrates the resilience and resolve of these individuals and families. Come and join us as we remember the sacrifices of those who laid their lives in this journey; as we look ahead to the resolve that our children present to look ahead and build a future, together.

Come and be part of a moving play conceptualised by Lakshmi Kaul, Directed and Written by Aarushi Thakur Rana, that depicts the journeys of exodus of Kashmiris living in the United Kingdom. The event showcases a special exhibition of life in Kashmir along with the Journey of Exodus, curated by the children both from the Kashmiri Pandit community and non Kashmiri families living in London.

A special key note address on the developments in J&K along with an insightful talk on the Kashmiri Pandit exodus will be delivered by Col Tej K Tikoo, a Kashmiri Pandit activist and political commentator from India.

In order to give a flavour of Kashmiriyat in the typical tradition of sharing a traditional meal, simple Kashmiri meal will be served for the guests attending.

The entire programme and effort is voluntary and is being curated, compiled and presented by a team of volunteers with a view to educate members of public on the struggles and journeys of resilience of this tiny but significant community.

Come, be a part of this journey on 14th September 2019 at the Zoroastrian Centre, Rayner's Lane.
