IQWAT: Initiative to preserve and promote Kashmiri Pandit culture
Sep 28, 2020
Iqwat is a virtual platform to preserve and promote the culture of Kashmiri Pandits
Kashmiri Pandits have faced exodus from their homeland seven times, the most recent being in 1990 when they were forced to flee the Kashmir valley on account of being targeted by JKLF and Islamist insurgents. Since then, they have been scattered across numerous cities in India and abroad. This has led to the gradual erosion of culture, language, and heritage. Recognising the challenge and driven by a passion for the community, three corporate stalwarts: Sanjay Kaul (ex country head – Apple, India), Ajay Kaul (ex CEO, Jubilant Food Works), and Mukesh Kachroo (ex CTO, Gain Capital, USA) have joined forces to launch an initiative, called ‘Iqwat’, to preserve and promote Kashmiri Pandit culture.
Basically, Iqwat is a virtual platform where Kashmiri Pandits can come together and engage in professional and social networking to seek, explore, inspire, and collaborate. People behind the initiative inform that it is a bridge between yesterday and today, a way to stay in touch with their roots, culture and rich traditions. It is a platform to revive the folk tales and songs that have been lost to time, rekindle the legacy, inspire and engage talent and provide a foundation for the youth of the community to rise and shine.
