I viewed most of its sections, including the "history" section. One of the 
problems with it is, it sets out Kashmir as a Hindu v/s Muslim problem, rather 
than one which needs a political, territorial and economic solution. The other 
problem is that it is subtly pervasive in its message of hate-mongering, much 
like the infamous VCD. On the face it, it reflects the FACTS but scrape the 
veneer and it is but an all too gaudy demonisation of Muslims. The history 
section, particularly is of interest in setting the premise for the whole 
exhibition.
Comment:
Selma, the taste of the pudding is in the eating. The BJP (NDA) was in power 
for 6 years. We would like to learn from the organisers of the exhibition what 
action was taken to ameliorate the plight of the Kashmiri Pandits as well as 
the local Muslim population which has been suffering in the conflict. Instead 
the BJP released some terrorists and sent its foreign minister Jaswant Singh as 
high level personal escort  to  Khandahar. That some of the released terrorists 
were subsequently involved in the 9/11 terror is another story.

Regards,

Marshall
