The Kashmiri Pandits, the
original inhabitants of the Valley of Kashmir, have a rich
culture and peaceful traditions that they have managed to
maintain over five thousand years of recorded history. Kashmir
is known amongst the Kashmiri Pandits and other Saraswats
(who fled Kashmir during periods of Islamic persecution)
as Sharadapeeth or the Abode of the Goddess of Learning
and Fine Arts. During their five thousand years of history,
they have made great contributions to world civilization
in such diverse fields as religion, philosophy, Sanskrit
literature, medicine, history, music and aesthetics. Kashmir's
greatest historian, Kalhan, writes about his native land
: "It is a country where the sun shines mildly, being
the place created by Rishi Kashyap, for his glory - big
and lofty houses, learning, saffron, icy cool water and
grapes rare in Heaven are plentiful here - Kailash is the
best place in the three worlds (Tri-lok), Himalayas the
best place in Kailash, and Kashmir the best place in Himalayas".
Kashmir, the land of rishis and saints, was however, ill-prepared
for the Islamic onslaught that it has had to suffer over
the last 500 years. During the Islamic period of rule, the
Kashmiri Pandit population dwindled steadily and there were
numerous times when the persecution was so severe that a
large number of them had to flee to the hot plains of India.
This process has been recently repeated (from 1990 onwards),
but on a much vaster scale. The Kashmiri Pandits have been
driven from their homeland after a campaign of intimidation
and harassment was launched against them by the military-wing
of the Islamic secessionists. Kashmiri Pandits were forced
from their hearths and homes at the point of gun. The objective
of this ethnic cleansing was to create a minority free Kashmir
valley where the goal of Islamization could be easily forced
on the ordinary people.It is, indeed, a very sad fact that
the ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits has literally gone
unnoticed by the World community.
