HINDU HOLOCAUST MUSEUM is by itself a grand and brave initiative. The Museum first envisioned by francois Gautier is a memorial for the Hindus, Sikhs, bushists, jains and others that have faced the holocaust at the hands of Islamic and Christian invaders. We know of the notorious Jewish Holocaust, the Armenian holocaust and the Native America Holocaust and so on. But never in History has anybody talked of Hindu Holocaust though millions were butchered by the invaders from Alexander to the Turks and the Mongols and the Moghuls and the Europeans. The museum would depict the sufferings and past persecution of the Hindus by invaders.
Francois Gautier's idea of the museum
Francois Gautier in his [article]1 elaborates the cause
It has not been done with a spirit of revenge look at Israel and Germany today they are on the best of terms; yet, facts are facts and contemporary Germany had to come to terms with its terrible actions during World War II.
Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists have also suffered a terrible holocaust, probably without parallel in human history. Take the Hindu Kush for instance, probably one of the biggest genocides of Hindus. There is practically no serious research ever done AbOUT it and no mention in history books. Yet the name Hindu Kush appears many times in the writings of Jihadi chroniclers in 1333 AD
Ibn Battutah, the medieval Berber traveller, said the name meant 'Hindu Killer,' a meaning still given by Afghan mountain dwellers. Unlike the Jewish holocaust, the exact toll of the Hindu [...] suggested by the name Hindu Kush is not available. 'However,' writes Hindu Kush specialist Srinandan Vyas, 'the number is easily likely to be in the tens of millions.'
His 2009 US tour for the mobilisation of support to The Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum of Indian History is landmark achievement. The Hindu holocaust museum and the idea behind it is disussed in detail in his [interview] [http://www.indiapost.com/us-news/5138-special-privilege-born-Hindu-Francois-Gautier.html]to India Post.
