Photo Essay by Anmol Kachroo: Desolate Homes and Silent Walls

^{SearchKashmir feature.}

Anmol Kachroo[instagram] takes a journey to Kashmir to find the address of his old house in Anantnag. He comes across walls that were once home to Kashmiri Pandits.

Anantnag, Kashmir.

From the paintings ("kruels") on wall, I could tell this was a KP house. Who lived in this not ruined house? I asked around.

I was told the owner didn't leave in 1990s. Few years back, the grand old lady of the house got Alzheimers and family decided to leave Kashmir and haven't returned since.
