![[Panun Kashmir]](../images/i/in}pkash.gif)

Panun Kashmir (meaning "Our Own Kashmir") is the name for the demanded state
in the Valley of Kashmir for the Kashmiri Pandits (Hindus). Evicted from their
traditional homeland and considering themselves the "native" inhabitants, they
are afraid of the eventuality of Kashmir breaking free from the Indian control
and want to secure Panun Kashmir as their homeland within the confines of India.
That "homeland" envisions the territory inhabited presently by the huge Muslim
majority (95%), so they are very careful not to call it a "Hindu Homeland" and
promise to have it as the multicultural entity, which is rather hard to believe.
The links provided by Wikipedia can shine more light on the controversial
subject for those interested:

The hoisting of the flag
of Panun Kashmir is pictured at:

limp and hard to read. There is, however, an image of the logo which, obviously,
appears on this flag (white on saffron on the flag) at:

of the symbols - Magen David in Srinagar?
