The contents of the video

The video above sees Anupam Kher reliving the events of the Kashmiri Pandit Exodus by covering the wide range of the crimes that were committed by the perpetrators. The crimes in question include the likes of instances of sexual assault, mass shootings and murders in additions to the acts of coercion by certain residents which led to the Kashmiri Pandits abandoning their own houses. The video also sees the veteran actor reminding his followers about the ultimatum that was given to the Kashmiri Pandits back then, which said something on the lines of either the residents have an option of joining the perpetrators, leaving the state of Kashmir or paying the ultimate price. As the video progresses, Anupam Kher can be heard speaking about the consequence of those events, which was the mobilisation of approximately 400,000 Kashmiri natives who had to take to living like refugees in their own country. The video ends with Kher saying that he has faith in the younger generation that they will remind whosoever needs reminding regarding the events that took place in the first few days of the year 1990.
