According to the Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti, there were 75,343 Kashmiri Pandit families within the Valley in 1990.

In the last 30 years, there are barely 800 Hindu families left in the Valley. In the year 1941, the share of Kashmiri Hindus in the population was 15 percent.

But by the year 1991, the share remained only 0.1 percent. This pain of Kashmiri Pandits being displaced from their motherland and work land is being presented on the silver screen after extensive research.
