A long time back, I started a study on 'Kashmiri Pandit Who Is Who' to find who is where ? Please see the link. Initially, I received some response and later the enthusiasm for filling the form became dull.

Main purpose of the study is to find the migration statistics. No politics is involved in this study.It is an academic exercise to find the truth, which hitherto without precedent has probably not been attempted so far. I am presenting here the important particulars of some of the friends, from our community who responded and felt the need for such a study . Many many thanks to them. This is just a sketch and not even a tiny drop out of more than half a million Kashmiri Pandits on the planet. If you find that this way we could collect the gigantic data, with least expenditure, then, let all of our bretheren come forward to make the project a success by filling the form.

I request all the friends of the community, wherever they are, to pass on the request to all their acquaintances for the need to fill the form so that this study is a success.----------
