FACT
• 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.
