Season 1

Vivek and Pallavi set out to explore the history of Kashmir that led to the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits. They dig into the geographical features of the state, its accession with India and the ideologies that have wanted to separate Kashmir from the country.

Post-partition, Kashmir suffers from covert attacks, wars, infiltrations and terrorism. The seeds of terrorism are sown in the late 70s. Political leaders of Kashmir and the 1987 elections become catalysts to the sinister plan of terrorism.

Pakistan's then President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq’s Operation Tupac manifests itself in Kashmir. As radicalisation sweeps across the state, the demand for an ‘Azaad’ Kashmir picks up.

The fateful night of 19th January 1990 changes the lives of Kashmiri Pandits forever, some of whom witness the brutal killings of their loved ones. A majority of the Kashmiri Pandits are forced to escape their homes.

The exodus of Kashmiri Pandits was denied, ignored and even covered up. What were the repurcussions of the exodus on the rest of the country?

The hosts trace the history of Kashmir and try to find out whether Hindus were original inhabitants of the state or whether they settled there much later.

How has the uncovering of the genocide impacted Kashmir? Has it made any difference to the world? Is the reality of Kashmir any dfferent today?
