Dear Hindu Brothers,
I came across an incident today .One Kashmiri pandit came seeking donation.
Our brother Kahmiri Pandits thrown out of the valley forcefully by insurgents.
1000s of people came & living as refuges in their own country which is very
unfortunate .They have camps in Falaknuma area of Hyderabad.
Please do some thing to our brother Pandits ,they need moral support. If possible
please do vist the place (near Falaknuma railway station,Hyderabad)
personally. The camp head is Guljarilal.
