Federation of Indian Associations (FIA) and Indian American Community with many other partner organizations arranged a free sneak preview of ‘The Kashmir File (TKF)’ film screening before the formal release of this film on January 26, 2022 that coincides with Republic Day of India at the Regal Cinema, Marlborough, MA on the evening of Friday, December 10, 2021. Generally, sneak previews provide additional publicity and word-of-mouth exposure for a movie. A hall full of audiences watched TKF - a remarkable film that brought out horrible truth about Hindu genocide in the Kashmir Valley with pin drop silence and much inquisitiveness for what happens next.

This film is produced by a well-known and graceful actor Pallavi Joshi Agnihotri, and directed and written by an acclaimed director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri. Both have done a great work to expose a tragedy for which India has failed for 31 years to show the real face of Kashmiri Hindu genocide. This film is made with the intention of creating awareness and education among people about the true stories of Kashmiri Hindus, and to wipe out the false narratives set by some interest groups all these years. In addition, it is also a history of all Hindus for centuries and perhaps all persecuted societies of the world — whether it is Jews by Christian Germany, Christians in Turkey by the Islamic Ottoman empire, or the native religions of Americas and Africa by Christian West, and a systematic destruction of Muslims and their countries by Western deep state today.

Organizers of the program welcomed the filmmakers of ‘TKF” with royal treatment and rolled out the red carpet for them at the theater. Abhishek Singh, President of FIA highlighted the mission, vision of FIA and the moderator Jyoti Singh thanked all those in the audience for supporting their efforts, and Rakesh welcomed all  to watch the movie with the filmmakers Vivek Agnihotri, Pallavi Joshi Agnihotri and their daughter Mallika Agnihotri.  Vivek said to the viewers that whatever he wanted to say here is shown in the film and requested everyone to watch the movie and share their reviews with them and others at large on all the Social Medias.

The viewers watched the movie for over two hours to grasp the stories of half million Kashmiri Hindu exodus and genocide in the film. It was an effort to remain sensitive to the emotional capacity of the audience to take the movie in a learning stride, thus an achievement by itself. The film truly makes you appreciate the skills of Vivek and his team in weaving all the true incidents into a heartbreaking story to tell the truth to the world, which could not be possible without an immense effort in a thorough research. The movie deeply touches you; it touches your raw nerve and wakes you up from your deep apathy and unawareness. It makes you wonder how the continuous killings and destructions of the most advanced civilization – Bharat is on its last stage of hope. It makes you to ask a question to yourself, ‘whether Bharat is going to survive and revive itself or perish soon like any other civilizations.’

The preview audiences who were selected from a cross-section of the population expressed their positive reactions. They said that everyone must watch The Kashmir Files movie to understand the forces that have posed threats to Hindus for centuries. Everyone said that the filmmakers have done justice to the story and every actor had put a tremendous effort and aided by solid performance in this collective film. All of them have become the real characters and not remained just as actors. The message the audiences took with them is that from now on, we need to stay united unconditionally, raise voice against the minority appeasement and pandering by the political leadership, and stop laying of the lives of our soldiers in the process of eliminating terrorists. We all need to encourage our executive, legislative, judiciary, administrative, and others branches of the Central government to get to the root cause of terrorism and eliminate it from the country.

After the Movie show, Vivek Agnihotri and Pallavi Joshi answered all the questions of the audiences in an agreeable fashion. Following this, Sanjay Gokhale handed over the citations signed by the Speaker, and the Majority and Minority leaders of Rhode Island House of Representative to Vivek Agnihotri for his brilliant direction of a true Hindu genocide story, and to Pallavi Joshi for her brave production and excellent acting. Robert Lancia, a former member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives gave another combined citation released by the Governor of Rhode Island, Daniel J. McKee for the producer and director of the TKF film. FIA members also honored them with Kashmiri shawls and Souvenirs.  Raj Gupta proposed vote of thanks. Later, executive members of FIA and Indian American Community had nice dinner together at Olive Gardens before saying bye to the TKF team.
