    संवाद # 297: Most stunning story of exile of a common Kashmiri Pandit

    Kashi Akhoon is a survivor of the 1990 Kashmiri Hindu exodus and a former resident of the Kupwara district in Jammu & Kashmir. Before his displacement, he served as a Development Officer for the United India Insurance Company, a profession that involved extensive travel across the valley and provided him with a deep understanding of the local social fabric. He was also an active member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in the region, where he served as a Sharirik Pramukh and focused on community building and social service.In this conversation, Akhoon shares a harrowing first-person account of the events that unfolded in early 1990. He details the terrified atmosphere of the time, recounting a near-death experience where he was trapped in a massive anti-India procession in Sopore and barely escaped with his life. Despite initially sending his wife and infant daughter to safety while he stayed behind, the discovery that he was on a specific "hit list" and the targeted killings of close acquaintances eventually forced him to flee his ancestral home in March 1990, leaving everything behind.Since his exile, Akhoon has lived as a refugee, first in Jammu and later in the Delhi-NCR region. He remains a vocal advocate for the rights of the Kashmiri Pandit community, arguing that a safe return to the valley is only possible through the creation of a secure, concentrated settlement rather than scattered reintegration. His story serves as a powerful testimony to the personal cost of the insurgency and the enduring struggle of the displaced community.
