Amnesty International Snubs Genocide of Kashmiri Hindus Exibition in London
London was graced with the singular exhibition on the fate of the Kashmiri Hindus at the hands of Islamic extremists at the Commonwealth Club in the Strand on 28th -29th June 2004. It was hosted by the Indo-European Kashmir Forum led by Sunil Bakshi.
(PRWEB) October 14, 2004 -- London was graced with the singular exhibition on
the fate of the Kashmiri Hindus at the hands of Islamic extremists at the
Commonwealth Club in the Strand on 28th -29th June 2004. It was hosted by the
Indo-European Kashmir Forum led by Sunil Bakshi.
This is a poignant and
timely reminder of the continuing tribulations faced by this Hindu community as
they languish in the refugee camps outside of Delhi and see their culture and
society disintegrate –unable to help themselves and ignored by the rest of India
and the wider world.
The exhibition itself comprises of leaflets,
journals and large posters as well as a short film (made by Ashok Pandit)
outlining Kashmir’s unique contribution to and expression of Sanatan Dharma
together with the Kashmiri Hindu people’s subsequent genocide and forcible
expulsion from the Kashmir Valley by strategic Islamic terrorist
activity.
In spite of the short notice the exhibition attracted a fair
number of visitors including other members of the Commonwealth Club, tourists
and interested passersby. Those few Hindus who did attend presented Monsieur
Gautier and his wife with a token of their appreciation of his dedication and
courageous efforts in highlighting the ongoing abuse of the human rights of
Hindus ( in this case the Hindus of Kashmir).
Where were the leaders of
the various Hindu sects? Where was the general Hindu public? Where was the
media? Where was Amnesty International? Since several strenuous efforts were
made to secure the latter’s attendance but they steadfastly refused to attend
citing their already “considerable research” into the Kashmiri Hindu problem as
well as previous work commitments.
Amnesty”s response in this instance
and others belies their claim to champion the rights of all communities. It
would appear that they are more partial to the abuse of the rights of selected
communities and impervious and silent on the same matter when it occurs to other
peoples (notably the Hindus).
