Kashmiri Pandits constituted an integral and vital segment of the Kashmiri Society in the Valley. Because of the large scale conversions of Kashmiris to Islam during Muslim rule (14th century onwards), the small population of the K.Ps. were the only Hindus left in the Valley. They lived very cordially with the dominant Muslim population across centuries. They have made immense contributions to the history, culture, philosophy and politics of Kashmir. Their EXODUS was triggered by violence and threats of violence unleashed against the non-violent community. The Pakistan inspired plan to fully Islamise Kashmir Valley found resonance among the militants in the Valley and hence the violence to drive out the Hindus; a story with complex facets. This book is research based. Let the victims speak and let the readers draw their own conclusions. There is no finality about human behavior, their thoughts, beliefs and actions. People can succumb to turbulent urge for violence and destruction under instigation. Kashmir is an example.
