New Delhi, Sep 13 - Twenty years after the first ever killing of a Kashmiri Pandit by militants in Jammu and Kashmir - which triggered the community's exodus from their ancestral homes in the valley - some members living in Delhi will tonsure their heads Monday to protest their 'exile'.

'On Sep 14, 1989, militants killed a Kashmiri Pandit in the heart of Srinagar. This sowed the seeds of our eviction from our homeland. We are protesting the completion of this tragedy by tonsuring our head,' Kamal Hak, a Kashmiri Pandit 'living in exile' in Delhi, told IANS.

'Nearly two dozen people will tonsure their heads and hundreds will gather near river Yamuna to mark our protest,' said Hak, who along with his wife had left their home in the Kashmir Valley way back in 1990.
