Mission

Kashmir Hindu Foundation (KHF) is non-profit, organization registered in USA with a focus on building a Kashmiri cultural center in USA and helping under-privileged children in camps in India. KHF has been launched, with an ambitious plan to create a Kashmiri Cultural Center, the first such center outside India. The Kashmiri Cultural Center will provide home to the expression of arts and culture that showcases the richness of Kashmir Hindu heritage. For all the Kashmiri Hindus in the USA and in other parts of world, it will provide a window to the beautiful valley and through this glorious view, create a stark contrast as a reminder of their painful exodus from Kashmir. It will provide an opportunity to the world to learn and experience the culture of Kashmir, with its spiritual gurus, soulful poetry and music, Kashmir Shaivism, arts, history and the humanities. This center will house a library with potentially the largest collection of books on Kashmir. The launch of this Foundation comes at an opportune time, to spotlight the interests and needs of the once glorious Kashmiri Hindu community, now dwindling and scattered around the globe. Yet, these Kashmiri Hindus add to the richness of the communities where they presently reside. Organized efforts of the KHF will also help to preserve and better channel their contributions. It is committed to creating awareness and understanding of the traditional culture of Kashmiri Pandits through diverse media such as music, theater, literature and related arts. It will drive efforts to raise funds for the Kashmir Cultural Center and will be key proponent of ‘Connect to Kashmir’ events. The organization will help to launch a worldwide print edition of the existing online news magazine that has established itself to the world as the voice of the Kashmiri Hindus.
