DEDICATION

This webpage is dedicated to:

• more than one thousand Kashmiri Pandits who lost their lives to terrorists' bullets;

• hundreds of thousands of Kashmiri Pandits who were forced by terrorism to leave their homes and hearths to live in tents as refugees in their own country;

• hundreds of thousands of the Kashmiri Pandits who were forced to convert to Islam since the 14th century;

• thousands of Kashmiri Pandits whose houses were burnt and looted; and

• thousands of secular, peace-loving and moderate Kashmiri Muslims who became victims of fundamentalism within their own religion.

APPEAL

We, the Kashmiri Hindus, known as Pandits, appeal to

• all the nations of the world;

• all peace loving, secular and democratic countries which value and recognize the urges, aspirations and just rights of minorities round the globe;

• all organizations that monitor and report on human rights' violations against ethnic religious communities; and

• all individuals, groups and institutions that stand for justice, equality, religious tolerance and human dignity to break their silence and speak out and save this ancient and distinct ethnic-religious minority of the world which has been thrown out of its own land, made a refugee in its own country and which is, now, facing dispersal, disintegration and extinction.
