India’s Malicious Agenda: The Erasure of Muslim Culture in IIOJK

India’s calculated assault on the Muslim identity in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) is not just political; it’s cultural genocide. The Modi government is systematically erasing the rich heritage of Kashmiri Muslims to impose a foreign identity on the region. This campaign targets the heart of Kashmiri civilization, aiming to strip away the soul of an entire community.

A Sinister Plan: Genocide and Cultural Destruction

Recent comments by India’s Minister for Tourism and Culture, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, exposed the government’s true intentions. While promoting Hindu religious sites, Shekhawat deliberately ignored the region’s Islamic heritage, including its shrines, mosques, and Khanqahs. This exclusion is not an accident; it is a strategic attempt to erase the Muslim identity of Kashmir and rewrite its history. By focusing solely on Hindu temples, the government makes clear its agenda to marginalize Kashmiri Muslims and erase their contribution to the region’s culture.

The Modi Government’s Assault on Muslim Identity

The revocation of Article 370 in 2019 was just the beginning of the Modi government’s broader plan to transform Kashmir into a Hindu-majority area. Granting domicile certificates to hundreds of thousands of non-Kashmiri Hindus and the large-scale confiscation of Muslim-owned properties aim to alter the demographic makeup of the region. Forced displacement and land seizures are erasing the homes, businesses, and heritage of Kashmiri Muslims, leaving them alienated in their own land.

Kashmir’s Struggle: A Fight for Identity and Survival

India’s ongoing actions are not just a political offense; they are a direct assault on Kashmir’s identity. The destruction of Islamic heritage sites and the systematic marginalization of Muslim culture are aimed at obliterating the region’s history. Kashmir’s struggle is not just political; it is cultural and spiritual. The Kashmiri people are fighting to preserve their identity, culture, and heritage against an occupying force bent on their erasure.

Global Responsibility to Stand Against India’s Cultural Genocide

The world cannot remain silent as Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir faces cultural genocide. India’s actions are not only an attack on Kashmiri Muslims but on cultural diversity itself. The international community must act now to hold India accountable. The struggle for Kashmiri self-determination is a fight for justice and humanity. This is not just a regional issue; it is a global fight to preserve the rights, culture, and dignity of a community. The world must stand with Kashmir in this critical battle for survival.
