Seventy years ago, ethnic Muslims in China suddenly lost their homeland. They had set up an independent republic since 1944.
Communists in 1949 practically forced the leaders of that independent republic to flee. One of them came to Kashmir with about a thousand followers.

This episode of HistoryChatter recalls that perilous journey. It tracks their fortunes in India, up to the present day. Many of them became Kashmiris and Indians. Yet, their dream to set up an independent nation-state was broken into pieces. It was never to be fulfilled.

Episode 2 of HistoryChatter explores these unfulfilled dreams and painful struggles of a group of people and a nation that never became a state.
