 Hello everyone,  In the previous blogs, I discussed how Kashmiri pandits were forced to leave their houses and live as a refugee in Jammu. The life of a refugee is beyond our imagination, But before I begin if you are new to the blog I recommend you read my previous blogs. EXODUS OF KASHMIRI PANDITS #PART 1 EXODUS OF KASHMIRI PANDITS # PART 2. Let's Get Started... Kashmiri pandits were well educated hence, most of them were financially stable.

For example  (Jews of Germany,)(Hindu,   Sikh and Christian of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh), (Zoroastrians of Iran), ( Uyghurs Muslims of   China). In these incidents, most of the communities which I mentioned above are minorities of their respective countries. Today's point of Discussion is Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and Sikhs.  In India, around 80% of the population is following Hinduism but when we talk about Kashmir and especially Kashmir valley Hindus are in minority and most of the Hindus are Pandits i.e, they are called Kashmiri pandit.  They were forced to live their houses, lands, properties fr...
