In this emotional episode of Chai & Chronicles, Kirti shares a deeply personal story of loss, resilience, and identity — tracing the night her family was forced to flee Kashmir in 1990.

Part memoir, part history — this is the voice of a community that was silenced, but never broken. This isn’t just Kirti’s story. It’s the story of a people who were uprooted, unheard, and unseen — yet never let go of their identity.

🫖 Tune in, reflect, and share — because some stories deserve to be remembered, and some silences must finally be broken.

Because while we left our homeland… Kashmir never left us.
