Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Orphan Шаблон:Infobox person Kuldeep Sumbly (born 3 May 1956), better known by his pen name Agnishekhar,[1] is a Kashmiri Pandit writer and political activist. He is the founder of Panun Kashmir ("Our Kashmir") organization, a group that advocates for the cultural rights of Pandits and a homeland.[2][3] As a poet, he has contributed to the development of a Hindi poetry of exile from a distinctly Kashmiri perspective.[4] He views pre-Islamic culture as a source for contemporary Pandit identity.[5]

Works

Agnishekhar is the author of Kisi Bhi Samay (At Any Moment), a collection of poetry published in 1992. The book is organized into two sections: the 49 poems of "Kram" ("Sequence"), and the ten poems of "Visthapit Kashmir" ("Displaced Kashmir") which differ from "Kram" in being labeled by place of composition (always Jammu) and a date ranging from mid-1990 to early 1991.[6] The poem "Mahavipada" ("Great Trouble"), from the "Displaced Kashmir" section, criticizes the camps into which displaced Pandits were settled.[7]

Agnishekhar also contributed to the screenplay for the "Bollywood-style" movie Sheen, which uses Pandit displacement as the context of a love story.[8]

Athrot is an organization of displaced artists and writers organized its first ever Kashmiri Poetry day on 27 August 2018 and Agnishekar presided over the poetic session.[9]

Mohammed Ayub Betab's poems in original Kashmiri are translated to Hindi by Agni Shekhar.[10]
