We were the survivors. We are the survivors

25 winters have passed. More will pass, but the fight will go on. In spite of successive governments' unwillingness to sincerely reverse ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus and provide them justice, they will steadfastly work towards securing their rights and homeland, says Lalit Koul.

On World Refugee Day, a Kashmiri Hindu writes to Modi

'Treating our ethnic cleansing with budgetary measures and financial doles is - one, not a prudent solution and second, an insult to our cause. Please understand the gravity of the situation. Our exodus is just a symptom of the malaise that has affected the valley. We would prefer to stay in exile than being sent back to be slaughtered again in a few decades. Please treat the disease and not the symptoms,' writes Lalit Koul 'Sharnarthee'.

9/14 -- we shall never forget

This September 14, our Martyrs Day, we pledge that one day we will be back in our homeland, with our heads held high and honour in tact. We will reverse our exodus but only at our own terms and at a time of our choosing. That will be the most appropriate homage to our martyrs, says Lalit Koul

Kashmir Hindus: Forsaken, forgotten for 21 years

The Kashmiri Hindu community despite homelessness and horrendous ethnic cleansing has survived and will survive. It is the tenacity to weather any storm and belief in its values and morals that has kept the Kashmiri Hindu alive, says Lalit Koul.

The night from hell, 20 years later

It was exactly 20 years ago on this day, when Kashmiri Hindus were driven out of their homeland. From 700,000, there are only about 2,000 Kashmiri Hindus left in the valley now, says Lalit Koul.

Enemies within the borders

Today, you give away Kashmir, tomorrow you will have to give away Hyderabad and then Coimbatore and then Moradabad and so on.

Appeasement is never good for a nation

Politicians might say that the Amarnath issue is not about religion, but it is all about religion.

Chinkara gazelle or Kashmiri Hindu?

Do you feel it is okay for government agencies to let terrorists roam free and be more concerned about Chinkara gazelles?

Mute spectators or change activists? Who are you?

'We should not allow our nation to become a banana republic where terrorists roam free with Z-level official security while Kashmiri Hindus, who believe in India , live like refugees.'

Kashmiri Pandit youth fight back

'It is imperative for the youth of our great nation to step up and be involved in creating India's destiny.'

Be there. Be there for a Safer India

What will it take, Mr Prime Minister?

Patriots be damned, forgotten

The pawns without a vote

Mr PM, spare a moment for Kashmiri Hindus

Indians have lost our pride

Pandits will return on their own terms

At what point would you say 'Enough is enough'?

Lalit Koul: Mr PM, please walk the talk
