Powerful Kashmiri Saraswat Pandits Spread in India

Hi Group,

It's said that man is limited by his vision, See the list of these kashimir saraswat brahmins, each one of them is 1000 times influential, powerful and resourceful too. Read unti the last, You will see they virtually rule and ruling the india.

These great pandits have not done anything for their Kashmir, It forces me to think do we indians are really corwardice, busy and confined to individual life, trapped in comfort zones. Kashmir has been burning in terror and they were capable but their individual chraishma made them victim of their comfort and selfishness. Definitely they dont deserve to live in Kashmir that's why God has kicked thek out.

regards,Lalit.

My dear Lalit, I must bring to your notice that most of the names

mentioned in the list are not Kashmiris.I repeat,they may be Saraswat

brahmins but by no stretch of imagination can they be called

Kashmiris.Am sure that even you too would be aware that

Gavaskar,Tendulkar,Kamath etc are not Kashmiris.It is true that

Kashmiris are Saraswat Brahmins but all saraswats are not Kashmiris.In

fact most of the names mentioned in the list are of Saraswats who

belong to the Maharashtra/Karnataka region.However,as for ur statement

about Kashmiri Pandits being selfish and cowards as are most Hindus,i

am in total agreement with you. RK--- In
