The blindspot of Kashmir

Kashmiri Pandits are not politically sexyThe sight of Kashmiri Pandits pleading Pakistani journalists to ask their country to stop supporting terrorism is a cause for national shame, writes Col. Anil Athale (retd).

This is an archived blog post from The Acorn.

The sad plight of Pandits has also not touched the conscience of the ever so sensitive ‘human rights’ groups in India. The Teesta Setalvads and Javed Anands, the Medha Patkars or Arundhati Roys of this world have been deafeningly silent on this issue. There are no street plays, no documentaries or painting exhibitions on the sad state of these 300,000 Indians. The news media, both print and television, have shown no inclination to highlight their cause.[Rediff]
