Info:
Imam Khomieni Memorial Trust, Kargil – Ladakh is a socio-religious organisation in Kargil, Jammu and Kashmir rendering services in the Ladakh region. It was founded in the year 1979 by a group of young volunteers. The Iranian Revolution was the basic reason for formation of the Trust. The sole aim of the trust is to keep the principles and values set by Ayatollah Khomeini alive and particularly his last will emphasizing the unity of Muslim Umah and helping the cause of oppressed and downtrodden people of the world;

Imam Khomeini Memorial Trust (IKMT) has functioned in Kargil since 1979; it was established the same year the Iranian Revolution took place. Apart from being active in such areas as charity work and education, the trust is clear in its goal of propagating the ideas of the Islamic Revolution and Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomenei’s thought. It also celebrates Khomeini’s death anniversary (moreover, even the Quds Day is celebrated by some of the Kargil Shias). The trust does not remain aloof from local politics either. For instance, Haji Asgar Ali Karbalai is both a recognized regional politician and a member of the IKMT. As early as in 1990s, Indian officials accused the IKMT of being funded by Tehran, although the trust rejected this charge. It was this influential body that organized the protests after Soleimani’s death;

The demonstrations were also reportedly carried out by a religious organization called Anjuman e Jamiat-Ul-Ulema Isna Ashriya Kargil (often referred to as Islamia School). While it is rival to the IMKT, in the political sense, both institutions share their faith in Shia traditions. As summarized by Radhika Gupta in her study of Shia networks in Kargil, the Islamia School remains more tied to the Shia religious centers in Iraq, and the Imam Khomeini Memorial Trust to those of Iran. In the past, some of the religious teachers associated to the Islamia School had been educated in an important Shia learning center in Najaf (Iraq). Yet, a delegation from the Iranian embassy in New Delhi was seen visiting the Islamia School a few years ago;
