Kashmiri Pandits

Kashmiri Pandits are a Hindu community originally from the Kashmir Valley in India. They have a rich cultural heritage and are known for their contributions to literature, philosophy, and art. Historically, they faced significant socio-political changes, particularly in the late 20th century when conflict in Kashmir led to the exodus of many Pandits from the region. This diaspora has since sought to preserve their cultural identity and traditions while adapting to new environments. Their plight highlights broader issues of displacement and cultural heritage in conflict zones.
