It should be noted that the event was held at the Nehru Centre in order to understand the lopsided and biassed narrative of Kashmir in western societies, where the gruesome stories of Kashmiri Hindus are either distorted or blatantly hidden.
 
Apart from Vivek, Pallavi Joshi (Actor and Producer), Chris Blackburn (Political Analyst in the UK), and Pandit Satish Kumar Sharma (Author of Caste, Conversion, and A Colonial Conspiracy) were also present during the programme to provide different dimensions to the topic at hand.
 
 
 
The interjections touched upon many aspects, including global terrorism, of which Kashmir is a prime victim, a prevalent anti-Hindu bias, and a need to deliberate for the protection of diverse Indian, aka Bharatiya, values and thought processes. The discussion also included the under-representation of India’s voice-share in the international media circuit and policy-making forums.
 
During the event, Agnihotri said that hiding the truth about Kashmiri Hindus’ massacre and displacement was as vicious and justice-defeating as the terrorising violence and torture and the subsequent cleansing that the community had to endure. His remarks got thunderous applause from the jam-packed audience.
 
 
He further added, spoke of Hindus being a global minority and of Bharat, which is both a modern democracy and an ancient civilisation facing a multi-pronged attack. He revealed that his upcoming film, ‘The Delhi Files', tagged as the ‘Right to Life', would broadly try to address this issue.
 
Joining him, Chris Blackburn shared his experiences of global terrorism and exposed its links with Islamist charities in the US and UK. He also underlined how the mind space of specific communities is almost monopolised by fringe organizations, which in turn aid terrorists. He highlighted the sinister effort to muzzle his voice by certain menacing forces who didn’t want the world to know about the underlying nexus between the terrorists.
 
Meanwhile, Pandit Satish Sharma, an active ambassador of Indian culture in the UK, provided cultural and philosophical aspects of Indian thoughts and the need for the Indian diaspora to come together.
