Launches ‘The Waves of Resilience, Story of Radio Sharda’
Jammu, Apr 28: “The Kashmiri Pandit community endured genocide and was uprooted from their ancestral soil. They left behind all material possessions, carrying only the light of culture, tradition, faith, education, and language,” Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Tuesday.
Launching the book 'The Waves of Resilience, Story of Radio Sharda', edited by Ramesh Hangloo, founder of Radio Sharda, the LG described it as a collection of articles written by common listeners, litterateurs, and renowned personalities from the Kashmiri Pandit community that highlights the impact of Radio Sharda on the community's socio-cultural activities.
“More than two decades later, in 2011, Ramesh Hangloo transformed it into a beacon of hope and unity through Radio Sharda, connecting Kashmiri Pandits across the world to their roots," he said.
The Lieutenant Governor said that Radio Sharda has preserved songs, stories, and traditions and given platforms to poets, scholars, and artists, ensuring their voices inspire new generations. "Radio Sharda and various government initiatives are pathways for youth from the community. Now it is their responsibility to protect and expand rich cultural heritage, breathe new life into traditions, language, music, and rituals. Youth must ensure that Kashmiri Pandits' cultural legacy thrives, evolves, and endures meaningfully for generations to come," he said.
Sinha said that successive generations of Kashmiri Pandits endured profound hardships beyond the genocide, a wound that time cannot fully heal, and initiatives like Radio Sharda provided a vital lifeline, reinforcing community bonds. He commended Ramesh Hangloo and his team for preserving rich culture and values.
On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor also felicitated prominent citizens of the community from diverse fields for their contribution to society.
