I received the following mail from Mr.Ajay Shah one of the members
of HSC, who has been actively campaigning for the Kashmir cause.

Kashmir, a jewel in India's crown, but its legitimacy is questioned,
and its legacy is contested internationally. 

Let us act, before it is too late.

Regards,

Narotham
