The bleeding vale of Indian Held Kashmir

 Kashmiri struggle has entered another phase that is going to shape the future InshaAllah.

THE cauldron of Kashmir continues to simmer and smoulder in view of India’s scorched earth policy. Appalling human rights abuses and atrocities have been committed against civilian population. According to recently published Human Rights report, between 1989 and June 30, 2010, the number of Kashmiris killed at the hands of Indian security forces stands at 93,274. Additionally, there have been 6969 custodial killing, over 107,351 children have been orphaned, 22,728 women widowed and 9920 women gang raped. 11735 persons were arrested and 105861 houses or structures in use were razed.

Ever since indigenous armed resistance commenced in Indian Held Kashmir (IHK) in 1989, India has been incessantly holding Pakistan responsible for the uprising. It portrayed the freedom struggle as terrorist movement wholly aided by Pakistan. India didn’t take into account the hard realities that Kashmiris had sustained the cruelties of Indian forces for too long. They had been repeatedly duped and promise of plebiscite made by Jawahar Lal Nehru made in 1948 remained unfulfilled. They had got fed up of the puppet state regimes imposed upon them and the lackluster approach of Pakistan towards their cause. 
They got inspired by the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979 followed by Palestinian intifada in 1987 and grand victory of Mujahideen against a super power in Afghanistan in 1988. These events catapulted the otherwise insipid and terrorized Kashmiris who would not pick up courage to even protest against abuses of Indian security forces. This was evident from their poor response to Operation Gibraltar launched By Pakistani irregulars in August 1965 aimed at helping the Kashmiris to realize their dream of freedom from India. Kashmiri youths from 1990 onwards were a transformed lot, fully motivated and charged up. No amount of brutal force and torture applied by Indian forces would break their will to fight back.  
Few thousand Kashmiri Mujahideen kept over 700,000 regular and paramilitary forces in a spin and Kashmir became a bleeding wound for India. They showed their extraordinary grit and firmness during the Kargil conflict in summer of 1999 where in conjunction with irregulars of Northern Light Infantry, they kept the might of Indian Army at bay for ten weeks. The US and G-8 countries had to intervene to force Pakistan to vacate the occupied heights. After suffering humiliation at Kargil, India had to suffer another embarrassment when its ten-month military standoff failed to intimidate Pakistan and it had to withdraw its forces in October 2002. 
India sought assistance from Israel how to deal with Kashmiri militants and learnt new methods of torture but to no effect. By 2003, Indian troops employed in IHK had become fatigued and demoralized. Cases of indiscipline, soldiers firing at seniors, desertions, suicides, and mental disorders rose phenomenally. Hospitals got filled up with malingerers and psychiatric cases. Recruitment in Army dropped radically despite announcing better pay packages. Kashmir became a dreaded station and none liked to be posted there. It was under such unsavoury conditions that Indo-Pak peace treaty facilitated by USA was signed in January 2004. 
In his exuberance to appease India so that an amicable solution to Kashmir dispute and other disputes of Siachin, Sir Creek and dams on rivers could be found, Gen Musharraf took several steps to remove Indian concerns. He gave a written pledge that he would not allow Pakistan soil for exporting terrorism. He banned six Jihadi outfits engaged in supporting freedom struggle in IHK and ceased their funds. By restoring peace in Kashmir, he allowed India to fence the Line of Control (LoC) and also took stringent measures to curb movement across the LoC. 
All Parties Hurryat Conference (APHC) got split between moderates and extremists, former led by Mir Waiz and latter by Syed Ali Shah Geelani. Moderates agreed to hold negotiations with Indian leaders and to workout an out of box solution as proposed by Musharraf which was outside the realms of UNSC Resolutions. Musharraf’s one-sided initiatives delivered severe blows to the indigenous struggle waged by Kashmiri armed freedom fighters that had intensified in 2003-04. Indian leaders started admitting after 2005 that cross border infiltration had reduced to a trickle. Instead of appreciating efforts put in by Pakistan Indian military claimed that stringent measures adopted by them had not only blocked movement of foreign terrorists but also the insurgency in IHK. 
Peace along LoC and in IHK helped India to use Afghan soil to export terrorism into Pakistan and to create situation similar to IHK. India created and supported terrorist outfits for Balochistan and FATA to destabilize Pakistan. It was also able to hold general elections in the state in 2007 which brought in pro-India National Conference and Congress in power. Since the voters’ turnout was over 50%, Indian leaders started to brag that foreign sponsored insurgency had almost been quashed and there was no need for negotiations. They once again reverted to their uncompromising stance that Kashmir was integral part of India and its further division was out of question. The only leeway they wanted to give was to treat LoC as permanent border between two Kashmirs. The Kashmiris once again felt let down by Pakistan, betrayed by India and ignored by the world as they had felt in 1989. 
There was also resentment among younger generation of Kashmir against their leaders for getting hoodwinked by Indian sweet talk and damaging the movement. The movement got reignited on a dispute over land being allotted to Amarnath Shrine Board in summer of 2008 and economic blockade imposed by Hindus in Jammu. The whole Valley resounded with slogans of Azadi (freedom) and pro-Pakistan slogans. Hundreds of thousands of people defied curfews and heavy presence of security forces. Soldiers and policemen fired straight into the crowds killing scores of people but protests continued unabated. It was the first manifestation of democratic, non-violent protests as note by Arundhati Roy.
Intensity and resoluteness of unarmed protests by Kashmiris in Srinagar and other major towns of the Valley unnerved India and the state government. Protests over India’s black laws and oppressive and unjust policies continued for months but neither Pakistan nor the world took any note of their plight. Policy of picking up suspects, putting them in secret dungeons and torturing them, fake encounters and rape continued unabatedly. The second bout of unarmed protests took place in the summer of 2009, which were ruthlessly dealt with by Indian forces disregarding that the protestors had no arms.Fresh wave of mass agitation against India’s rule in J&K spearheaded by unarmed teenagers have spread across Kashmir Valley since last June. Intensity of protests is growing with each passing day. In June 2010 alone, 33 people were killed including four children. 572 people were tortured and injured and eight women were molested. 59 Kashmiris, mostly teenagers including an eight-year boy have been killed till 14 August by CRPF and Police. Each killing is fuelling more anger and they are coming out on streets in greater numbers.—Opinion-Maker 
It is high time for champions of human rights to listen to the cries of Kashmiris and take stock of atrocities perpetrated by Indian forces, killing small kids and old men and raping Kashmiri women with gusto. Peace in South Asia will remain illusive without a solution to Kashmir dispute, which has also bred extremism and terrorism in the region. Indian leaders must come out of their uncompromising and stubborn mode by fulfilling the pledge of their reverend leader Nehru and hold a plebiscite in Kashmir. Farce of Aman ki Asha and other deceitful games would work no more. Resolution of longstanding Kashmir dispute will usher in peace and prosperity in South Asia, which is primed for a bigger explosion because of discontentment and burgeoning poverty. The UNSC and USA should let go their duplicitous policy and act before it is too late.

Kashmiris’ struggle will not go waste

By Afshain afzal

In order to justify the crackdown of Kashmiris all over India, the Indian military Intelligence, G Branch of BSF, IB and RAW have joined their heads to suppress the ongoing Kashmir movement for the independence. The peaceful indigenous Kashmiri struggle is intestinally being linked with militant groups to take action against them. Interestingly, the ongoing raising against the Indian occupation in Jammu and Kashmir state is different from the one that took place in 1990ies as the element of Mujahideen or armed struggle is missing this time. May be at a later stage the shape of the movement changes but at present it is purely a non-violent democratic struggle. Thousands of Kashmiri are voicing their anger against the Indian authorities and supporting independence. Reports from New Delhi, Jammu and other locations suggest that the Kashmiri Hindu Pandits and Kashmiris Sikhs and those living abroad have also planned to join hands with their Muslim Kashmiri brethrens. India is trying to bring violence Kashmiris’ struggle by penetrating agents and surrendered Kashmiris who have been enrolled as Special Police Officers (SPO) in the files of Kashmiris. In the latest development, Indian agencies have started suspecting Bangladeshi government of Prime Minister Haseena Wajid and the opposition for using Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HUJI) and Jamaat-e-Islami (JEI) against India.

Today, the Kashmiri are aggrieved over the atrocities by Indian occupying forces and are using their constitutional right of protests. It is quite disgusting to observe that Indian authorities and the puppet political machinery in held Jammu and Kashmir state, who are plying in the hand of Indian intelligence agencies, are even depriving Kashmiris from their right to protest. The ongoing cold blooded murders of a number of Kashmiris in fake encounters and extra judicial killings have forced the Kashmiris of Indian held Jammu and Kashmir state to get their protest registered. However, in an effort to hush up the whole affairs, Indian security have restored to the coercive methods. The fact cannot be denied in just in a one and a half month period; at least 18 peaceful Kashmiri protesters have been killed. It is irony that instead of taking action against those responsible for the cold blooded murders, fake encounters and extra judicial killings, the Indian authorities are suppressing the Kashmiris to keep their mouths shut. .Rallies, chanting slogans and pelting stones have become such a serious crime in held Jammu and Kashmir that the soldiers have orders to open live fires on the protesters indiscriminately.

The Indian authorities have even stopped the journalists from performing their duties Reports of attacks on media persons, especially the Muslim journalists have become a matter of routine. In a recent statement, Chairperson of the South Asia Media Commission K K Katyal said "The restrictions of the type announced yesterday will only prove counter-productive. As we know from our experience of the emergency period, it will not serve any useful purpose either in the immediate or long-term context." In fact, New Delhi and the puppets in Srinagar and Jammu are afraid that if media is allowed in Jammu and Kashmir state, no body would listen to their propaganda against the Kashmiris and the Pakistanis. Top Kashmiri leaders like Syed Ali Shah Geelani have been put under arrest and are subjected to mental and physical torture.

It is quite depressing that instead of listening to the grievances of the Kashmiris the Indian authorities have started blaming Pakistan and are trying to indulge top Kashmiri leaders in conspiracy against the state by linking them with terrorists. In a recent development, India Chief Minister of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir state, Omar Abdullah has alleged that his government has taped conversations between separatists, handlers from across LoC and stone-pelters. Ironically, in this joint conspiracy between Omar Abdullah, Indian Home Ministry and Indian intelligence agencies, they have alleged that Pakistan is involved in stone-pelting. The claimed that stones are brought in trucks from Pakistan and distributed among the Kashmiris who are paid Rupees 500 each for pelting the stones on security forces. Officials in New Delhi have termed it a low cost, high impact strategy being used by Kashmiri terrorist groups. One wonders if there is any dearth of stone in Jammu and Kashmir state that trucks from Pakistan are required to provide stones to the protester, Obviously, New Delhi cannot prove the stones as “Made in Pakistan” so it is a good propaganda that trucks came from Pakistan but can this happen in the presence of over 8 Lac Indian occupying forces.

New Delhi has dispatch bulk of additional security forces to suppress the Kashmiri protesters. Troops from 15 Crops and two battalions from 3 Infantry Division have already moved to occupy their positions in designated areas. Fresh 1600 personnel from Para Military Forces including Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Border security Force (BSF) have also moved in to their new locations to maintain law and order. It is pertinent to mention here that although New Delhi is claims that the bulk of deployment of Indian security forces in the state is a temporary measure but it would definitely take months to withdraw these personnel. The Kashmiris have decided to continue with their protests while on the Indian side, beside heavy deployment of security forces, they have launched a massive campaign against Pakistan, and Bangladesh holding Islamabad and Decca responsible for the law and order situation in the Jammu and Kashmir state. One wonders that in 1931 many champions of human rights remained silent spectators who are even today unable to stir their conscience for a while. The Kashmiris’ struggle for their right of self determination through free and impartial United Nations’ sponsored plebiscite is only answer to armed struggle to take its roots.

Indian Exposure to Self-Destruction

By Sajjad Shaukat

Although India has been supporting the forces of separatism especially in Pakistan and Chinese Tibetan regions, yet it has rapidly been exposing itself towards self-destruction.

On the one side, New Delhi which increased its defense budget up to 34 percent in 2009, and is planning to raise it by 50% to almost $40 billion in the near future, signed the pact of civil nuclear technology with the US in 2008 has been importing latest arms and ammunition from Israel, America, Russia, Germany and other western countries. On the other side, provincial and regional disparities have been widening in the country day by day as majority of Indian populations are living below the poverty level, lacking basic facilities like fresh food and clean water. While yielding to acute poverty, every day, some persons commit suicide in India.

In the past, India which incurred huge amounts on advancement of its nuclear weapons and successfully tested missile, Agni-111in May 2007, has been extending its range. On July 27 last year, India launched its first nuclear-powered submarine.

For the last 25 years, India has been providing its military and intelligence agency RAW with huge funds in order to support insurgency, separatism and lawlessness in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhuttan, Sikkim and China. Although these covert activities vary from country to country, yet the same intensifies in case of Pakistan. In this respect, a well-established network of Indian army and RAW has been working to destabilise Pakistan by supporting insurgency in the Kyber Pakhtunkhwa and separatism in Balochistan. New Delhi has been spending huge money to train and equip the militants who have been entering Pakistan on daily basis and have been conducting suicide attacks in our country, and assaults on our security forces.

Indian anti-Pakistan plan has also been endorsed by a 72-page white paper handed over to its Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the aftermath of Mumbai carnage. The paper, titled, War on Terror: The Agenda for Action advised New Delhi to “exploit the divisions within Pakistan and expose its weaknesses in Balochistan, FATA and Azad Kashmir” including building of pressure on Islamabad especially by the US.

However, India has been endangering the regional peace by dreaming to become a super power in wake of modern world trends like renunciation of war, peaceful settlement of disputes and economic development. In this regard, New Delhi has been paying no attention to its internal multi-faceted crises which have become serious, threatening the Indian union.

It is notable that the former Soviet Union which had subjugated the minorities and ethnic groups in various provinces and regions through its military, disintegrated in 1991. Even its nuclear weapons could not save its collapse. One of the important causes of the disintegration of the Russian Empire was that its greater defense expenditure exceeded to the maximum, resulting in economic crises inside the country. However, militarisation of the Soviet Union failed in controlling the movements of liberation, launched by various ethnic nationalities.

On the other hand, while learning no lesson from its previous close friend, India has been acting upon the similar policies in some other way.

Under the mask of democracy and secularism, Indian subsequent regimes dominated by politicians from the Hindi heartland�Hindutva (Hindu nationalism) have been using brutal force ruthlessly against any move to free Assam, Kashmir, Khalistan, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tamil Nadu and Tripura where wars of independence continue in one or the other form.

Recently, Maoists intensified their struggle, attacking official installments in the major Indian cities. In this context, on October 31, 2009, The New York Times wrote, “India’s Maoist rebels are now present in 20 states and have killed more than 900 Indian security officers…India’s rapid economic growth has made it an emerging global power but also deepened stark inequalities in society.”

India’s prime minister met with Naga separatists on March 2 this year in an attempt to end one of the South Asian nation’s longest-running insurgencies. The meeting could not succeed because India is offering wide autonomy to the group though it has already rejected the separatists’ demand for an independent homeland in northeastern India. The Naga insurgents began fighting more than 50 years ago.

As regards the Indian-held Kashmir, since 1947, Indian forces have intermittently been employing all the possible techniques of military terrorism such as curfews, crackdowns, sieges, massacre, targeted killings etc. to maintain their alien rule. However, under the new puppet regime in the occupied Kashmir, Indian brutalities keep on going against the current phase of Kashmiri uprising. Nevertheless, by neglecting all the ground realties, New Delhi has been advancing towards a self-destructive path.

Post-Napoleonic era in Europe proves that it is not possible to suppress the independence wars through military terrorism. In that context, Prince Metternich, emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire did what he could to subjugate the alien peoples by employing every possible techniques of state terrorism. According to Indian historian, Mahajin, Matternich had to admit that he was fighting for a useless cause, and the empire disintegrated, resulting in the independence of Italy, Bulgaria and other states. In the recent past, despite the employment of unlimited atrocities by the President Milosevic, collapse of the former Yugoslavia could not be stopped.

Every entity of South Asia is well-aware that even under the rule of Congress which claims to be a secular party, Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP), Rashtriya Swayamsevak Singh (RSS), Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Shiv Sina and Bajrang Dal have missed no opportunity to communalise national politics of India. Although violence against the other communities has been used by Hindu fundamentalists as a normal practice since partition, yet anti-Christian and anti-Muslim bloodshed in the last decade coupled with the dissemination of Hindutva has increased. Besides previous genocide of Muslims and destruction of the Babri Mosque, more than 2500 Muslims were massacred in 2002 in the BJP-ruled Indian state of Gujarat. On September 13, 2008, the communal riots in Uttar Pradesh killed more than 200 Muslims. In one of the most tragic incidents in Assam, Hindu extremists burnt alive six members of a Muslim family. Similarly, assaults on Christians and their property have continued by the Hindu mobs in Orissa, Assam, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh. In this respect, at least 60 Christians have been assassinated in the recent past by Hindu fundamentalists in the state of Orissa. Other minorities of India are also target of Hindu terrorism.

It is mentionable that ideology of Hindu nationalism prevails in every field at the cost of other minorities groups. It is even supported by Indian defense forces clandestinely. This fact could be judged from the event of April 6, 2008 when in the house of Bajrang Dal fundamentalists in Nanded, a bomb went off. The investigations proved that the militants belonging to the Bajrang Dal were found in the bomb-making and attack on a mosque in Parbhani in 2003. Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) of the Maharashtra arrested a serving Lt. Col. Srikant Purohit along with other army officials, indicating that they were helping in training the Hindu terrorists, providing them with the military-grade explosive RDX, used in the Malegaon bombings and terrorist attacks in other Indian cities. ATS further disclosed that Lt. Col. Purohit confessed that in 2007, he was involved in bombing of Samjhota express, which brunt alive 69 Pakistanis. Leaders of the Indian extremist parties, Shiv Sena, BJP, VHP and RSS are now pressurising the Congress regime to release the culprits.

Indian fundamentalism and mistreatment of religious minorities could also be assessed from some other development. After serving the BJP for 30 years, Jaswant Singh was expelled from the party for praising Mohammad Ali Jinnah and echoing the pain of the Indian Muslims in his book, “Jinnah�India, Partition, Independence.” While pointing out the BJP’s attitude towards the minorities, Singh wrote: “Every Muslim that lives in India is a loyal Indian…look into the eyes of Indian Muslims and see the pain.” He warned in his book, if such a policy continued, “India could have third partition.”

Nonetheless, the artificial union of India which is maintained through militarisation of the country by incurring too much expenditure for importing arms, for subjugating minorities through force, for crushing wars of liberation with brutal tactics and for sponsoring insurgency in Pakistan, China, and other regional countries, is bound to result in self-destruction.

Genocide Alert in Indian occupied Kashmir

It is time for all conscious voices to raise their voice and use their good offices to prevent this large scale genocide and pressurize India to solve Kashmir according to wishes and aspirations of masses.

Advocate Babar Jan Qadri

In past fortnight more than dozen peaceful teenager protestors have fallen to the bullets of security forces. These events are just the small photocopy of the continuous genocide perpetrated by Indian forces on masses of Kashmir for fighting to gain their birth right i.e. Right to Self Determination right to self determination not only promised by United Nations but by India also six decades ago. But, when India used every deceptive measure to keep the nation of Kashmir suppressed and occupied ,the Kashmiri nation started a fervent struggle against Indian Occupation in 1989.India used all the might to suppress the masses of Kashmir. In the past two decades more than one lac Kashmiris have been killed and ten thousand women raped by Indian force to curb the logical movement of masses. As we know that genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.

While a precise definition varies among genocide scholars, a legal definition is found in the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG). Article 2 of this convention defines genocide as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. These realities and definitions aptly state that genocide is going on in the Valley of Kashmir for the past two decades. The killing of twelve teenagers in the past fortnight shows that genocide is being accelerated in Kashmir by the authorities. The deep slumber shown by world bodies on this genocide can have disastrous consequences on entire humanity. it is time for all conscious voices to raise their voice and use their good offices to prevent this large scale genocide .and pressurize India to solve Kashmir according to wishes and aspirations of masses.

Kashmir on a knife edge once again Indian troops martyr 33 innocent Kashmiris

In occupied Kashmir, Indian troops, in their continued acts of state terrorism, martyred 33 innocent Kashmiris including four teenaged boys in the last month of June.

According to the data, compiled by the Research Section of Kashmir Media Service, 228 civilians including Hurriyet leaders and activists were arrested and 572 people were critically injured when the police and paramilitary forces used brute force, fired bullets and teargas shells against peaceful demonstrators in the occupied territory. Eight women were disgraced by the troops, two were widowed and four children were orphaned.

Similarly, sixteen residential houses were damaged by the troops with heavy firing and shelling during violent siege and search operations during the month.


Violence Update

Total Killings * 93,274
Custodial Killings 6,969
Civilians Arrested 117,345
Structures Arsoned/Destroyed 105,861
Women Widowed 22,728
Children Orphaned 107,351
Women gang-raped / Molested 9,920

In the Indian occupied Kashmir human rights violations by Indian occupation forces is a routine matter. No day passes calmly. Cries, protests and demonstrations by the affected and sufferers are daily news. That is why media both print and electronic gives more attention, space and prominence to these happenings daily.

On the one side Indian establishment and its state administration claims peace restoring but on the other side situation deteriorates given the rise in violations by its forces. The false rhetoric in this regard is for face saving and carries no weight.
Despite the repeated assurances of no human rights violations made by the young Chief Minister Omer Abdullah yet another woman at tral in district pulwama was molested by forces personnel. This shameful incident deepened the wounds of Kashmiri people who are yet to revive from the tragedy of gang rape and ruthless murder of our two daughters's neelofer and asiya in Shopian by Indian forces. On the same day a 12th class student namely Sajad Ahmad Lone S/o Ghulam Mohammad Lone Resident of Kralgund Handwara in District Kupwara was arrested early morning while he was coming to his home after morning prayers in the local mosque, by the troopers of 32 Rashtriya rifles stationed in Kralgund and was subsequently tortured and done to death by pumping bullets. In reaction of this gruesome murder when the youth in Srinagar took to streets peacefully, police fired in air, burst smoke shells and also resorted to heavy lathi charge to disperse them. This action of the police injured more than twenty five youth including a minor student of sixth standard Arif Ahmad Bhat S/O Javaid Ahmad Bhat R/O Seshyar Habba Kadal district Srinagar whose condition continues to be critical in the intensive care ward of Srinagar Medical Institute Soura.
Kashmir is such a place in the world where expression of resentment through civilized manner (which is the mindset of Kashmiri people) is curbed and killed by force. During the last fourteen months at least seventy Kashmiri youth were killed due to indiscriminate firing on the peaceful processions. These shameful acts unveil the terrible face of Indian democracy.
This case of custodial torture and killing again exposed occupation forces of India as oppressors, meant for bleeding the humanity in Kashmir, on the Black dictates of Delhi. Delhi as a matter of policy has directed its forces in Kashmir, to act beastly against the people of Kashmir and teach them the lesson, so that they are forced to abandon their movement for freedom from India. Bearing this oppression of Delhi through its forces since decades and more ruthlessly from last two decades Kashmiri's are determined to continue their struggle for freedom.
These Indian occupation forces with criminal instincts and armed with Black Draconian laws like Disturbed Area Act, Armed Forces Special Powers Act have so far martyred more than one lakh Kashmiri natives regardless of age and gender and have indulged in heinous crimes like rapes, molestations, torture exercises, blasting human beings, burning and blasting chattels and business establishments; loot and plunder and deforestation. Every nook and corner of the territory is witness to their insanity and impunity from law. Whatever the damage Indian occupation forces and its State abettors inflict here is expected because they are promised cash and promotions for this. Kashmiri people cannot even think of human treatment and civilized behavior from them. This so called disciplined force has turned to moral corruption on the choice of their Delhi high command. Before leaving for mission oppression in Kashmir they are taught the lessons of immorality, indiscipline, vulgarity and insanity and are commanded to demonstrate all this in Kashmir to crush Kashmiri people. It is what they are doing here to silence the popular voice of inherent Right to Freedom.
Inspite of tall claims of zero tolerance on Human Rights Violations, the unfortunate happenings like custodial killings, custodial disappearances, fake encounters, rapes, molestations, torturous methods, arrests, detentions cannot end in the presence of huge military. These daily occurrences can be curbed in case the territory is demilitarized. For that purpose just solution (freedom) of Kashmir dispute through tripartite dialogue is must. So instead of sticking to the demand of demilitarization Kashmiri people need to stress for emancipation from politico-territorial subjugation (reason of all ills). Military concentration, presence of Black Draconian Laws, Human Rights violations of all forms by the State, are the causes rooted in subjugation. End to subjugation will end all this. So our priority attempts should be centric to attaining this objective because we actually as a matter of policy stand for it. We have been perpetually struggling and sacrificing hugely since decades for achieving this objective. Emancipation will itself lead to demilitarization, repeal of Black Draconian Laws and release of prisoners.
A word of caution to those trying to compromise on the principled stand, don't under estimate the popular sentiment (embedded deep) and will of the people. Such type of intention or action is intolerable. This movement for freedom is being cherished by red hot blood, chastity of our women folk, peeled skin of our jail birds, pain anguish and destitution of orphans and widows, sighs and cries of mothers, daughters and sisters. No one should take them for granted.
