FACT, Foundation Against Continuing Terrorism

•

Founded: 2003

•

Founded by: François Gautier

•A French journalist and writer who has been covering South Asia as a political correspondent for 3 decades. He noticed over the years that the Hindus, although in majority have a minority status in India and that their history has never been told properly, nor their achievements. •Hence when Francois Gautier got a journalism prize (Natchiketa award of excellence in journalism) by the Prime Minister of India, he used the prize money to start FACT, whose ultimate goal is a Hindu Holocaust Museum.
