Appeal for Families of Sikhs Massacred in Kashmir

The whole world watched in disbelief the extremists' mischief of " Carnage in Kashmir". 36 Sikh Brothers were killed in a massacre under a disguise of military search at night . This bloody act was timed during the President Clinton's tour of Bharat , Bangladesh & Pakistan. We feel the pain of the family members whose husbands, fathers, brothers, uncles and sons were killed. Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America has established a family support fund for the victims. Widows & children will be helped from this fund. We appeal to the public at large to show their compassion for the innocent victims of this brutal act of barbarism. After the loss of a loved one and the main breadwinner of the family, these women and children are put into dire straits. Although we cannot undo the brutality of the terrorists, we can help assuage the tragedy by relieving some of their financial pressures. This fund will help to provide food and shelter for the families of the victims and to support the education of their children.

As with all cases of human tragedy, VHPA will disburse 100% of the funds received for this cause to the intended recipients through Non Governmental Organizations working in the local area. VHP of America Inc. is an approved United Way Agency in the states of CT, NJ, and NY. Hindus in these states can designate VHP of America to receive matching funds from employers when they contribute to the United Way at work.
