KHF
Kashmir Hindu Foundation (KHF) is non-profit, organization registered in USA with a focus on building aKashmiri cultural center in USA and helping under-privileged children in camps in India. KHF has beenlaunched, with an ambitious plan to create a Kashmiri Cultural Center, the first such center outside India. TheKashmiri Cultural Center will provide home to the expression of arts and culture that showcases the richnessof Kashmir Hindu heritage. For all the Kashmiri Hindus in the USA and in other parts of world, it willprovide a window to the beautiful valley and through this glorious view, create a stark contrast as a reminderof their painful exodus from Kashmir. It will provide an opportunity to the world to learn and experience theculture of Kashmir, with its spiritual gurus, soulful poetry and music, Kashmir Shaivism, arts, history and thehumanities. 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 onceglorious Kashmiri Hindu community, now dwindling and scattered around the globe. Yet, these KashmiriHindus add to the richness of the communities where they presently reside. Organized efforts of the KHF willalso help to preserve and better channel their contributions. It is committed to creating awareness andunderstanding 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 keyproponent of ‘Connect to Kashmir’ events. The organization will help to launch a worldwide print edition ofthe existing online news magazine that has established itself to the world as the voice of the Kashmiri Hindus.
