Based on the plight of Kashmiri Pandits in the 1990s, the film The Kashmir Files has managed to grab a lot of eyeballs. People whose families experienced the atrocities of the time opened up about their ordeal and started a conversation around how we can help Kashmiri Pandits, who were forced to flee their homes and lost their loved ones in the tragedy.
As The Kashmir Files has become a success in the box office allegedly earning more than Rs 100 crores, an IAS officer from Madhya Pradesh named Niyaz Khan put forth a request to the makers of the film. He urged the producer of the film to donate all the earnings for the education of the kids coming from Kashmiri Pandit families and help build houses for them in Kashmir, reported India Today.
Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, the creator of the film, responded to Khan’s tweet urging the IAS officer to meet him in person and discuss ideas on how to help the community.
“Please give an appointment so we can meet and exchange ideas how we can help and how you can help with the royalty of your books and your power as an IAS officer,” he wrote.
Sir Niyaz Khaan Sahab, Bhopal aa raha hoon 25th ko. Please give an appointment so we can meet and exchange ideas how we can help and how you can help with the royalty of your books and your power as an IAS officer. https://t.co/9P3oif8nfL
