The Exiled Pandits of Kashmir

This book discusses all the questions related to Kashmiri Pandits and their relation and current issues regarding their return to Kashmir. The book explores the importance of return of Kashmiri Pandits for Kashmir and both major Kashmiri communities, especially those who really want to return home, out of their own volition and for all right reasons.
The book shows how to bring about a reasonable and realistic degree of practical and sustainable reconciliation between the two communities, whilst trying to make them stand in each other's shoes, understand each other's perspective and pain and then self-introspect sincerely, so that a bridge of mutual trust and acceptance is rebuilt between the two communities, which can then allow those Pandits who genuinely want to return cross over and be home.

Covers most of the aspects related to Kashmiri Pandits, from their identity to their history and present Presents a reasonable and realistic degree of practical and sustainable reconciliation between the two communities in Kashmir Based on personal interactions of the author with many responsible members from both the communities
