A Passionate Appeal to Philanthropists and Friends of Heritage
At a time when memory is fragile and history is increasingly reduced to fleeting headlines, Kashmir Rechords Foundation (Regd) stands as a quiet yet determined custodian of Jammu Kashmir’s lived past.
Over the last two years, this non-profit, non-government organisation, duly registered with Government of India has worked with limited resources but unwavering commitment to archive, document and preserve Kashmir’s socio-cultural, intellectual and historical legacy—stories that risk being lost if they are not recorded now. From chronicling overlooked historical episodes and personalities to amplifying voices long relegated to the margins,Kashmir Rechords has steadily emerged as a credible, people-driven archival initiative rooted in integrity, scholarship, and public service.
What has been achieved so far is meaningful—but it is only a beginning.
Much remains to be done. Vast archival material is yet to be accessed, oral histories await documentation and fragile documents, photographs and personal testimonies—often lying unprotected in homes and private collections—need urgent preservation before time erases them forever. This work is meticulous, time-sensitive, and resource-intensive.
We, therefore, make a heartfelt appeal to philanthropists, well-wishers, scholars and all those who believe that heritage, culture, and human dignity matter. As a gesture of transparency and gratitude, Kashmir Rechords Foundation will publish the names of all donors who wish to be acknowledged, recognising them as partners in this collective mission to preserve memory and empower lives.
Your contribution—no matter how little, modest or generous—will directly support:
- Archiving, digitisation and preservation of rare historical material
- Research and documentation of underrepresented narratives
- Cultural activities aimed at sustaining Kashmir’s plural traditions
- Support for needy and deserving students and individuals, enabling education, research, and cultural engagement
Kashmir Rechords Foundation further solemnly pledges that the major portion of all donations will be utilised for cultural activities and for extending meaningful support to deserving and underprivileged students and individuals, ensuring that heritage preservation goes hand in hand with social responsibility.
Every donation thus becomes not merely a financial contribution, but a moral investment in culture, education and continuity.
History does not survive by chance—it survives because individuals choose to protect it.
Stand with Kashmir Rechords Foundation.
Help safeguard Kashmir’s heritage.
Help nurture those who will carry it forward.
Because what we fail to preserve today may be lost forever.
This is a moment to choose remembrance over amnesia.
Stand with Kashmir Rechords Foundation.
Help preserve a heritage that belongs not just to Jammu Kashmir, but to all of us.
Because what we fail to record today, we may never recover tomorrow.
