Kashmiri Pandits’
Association, Mumbai can rightly claim the status of being the
oldest Association of Kashmiri Pandit splinter groups in the post-partition
era in the country. Much before the Association was registered in 1968,
it was a group of some enthusiastic Pandit youngsters from Mumbai, who
after finding a vocational security in early sixties, thought of establishing
a communication line with their community members who were feeling lost
in the vast metropolis after leaving their secured habitat of Kashmir.
They started a biradari Newsletter appropriately christened as 'MILCHAR'
in Hindi in mid-sixties. The Newsletter was well received by biradari and
this very Hindi MILCHAR became the precursor of today's English
version of Milchar, which saw the light in the present form in 1970.
Since then, Milchar
has become the voice of Mumbai community. From 1-page cyclostyled English
bulletin version, which at times came out regularly and sometimes with
a long time-lag hiccups, has over the recent years now evolved into a regular
three monthly periodical of the Kashmiri Pandits’ Association. It has an
independent editorial board, which uses most of the news print in making
‘Milchar’ an authentic show window of the views and aspirations of the
biradari. Recently the Milchar has gone bilingual - the underlined idea
being to inculcate interest in our mother tongue - Kashmiri.
