12 Years On: The Gool Massacre and the Unfulfilled Justice

Srinagar: Twelve years after the brutal Gool Massacre in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), the families of the 14 martyrs continue to endure a painful wait for justice. On July 13, 2013, Indian forces martyred 14 innocent Kashmiris who had protested against the desecration of the Holy Qur’an in the Gool area of Ramban district. Despite the passage of over a decade, the demand for justice remains unanswered. The silence from India speaks volumes of its disregard for human life and its relentless pursuit of repression over reconciliation.

A Cry for Justice Ignored

The victims’ families are still waiting for accountability, as the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Society in Srinagar once again calls on India to answer for its crimes. India’s brutality against innocent Kashmiris continues unchecked, with no effort from its side to provide justice. The call for justice is not just a plea for the victims, but a glaring reminder of India’s systematic repression in IIOJK. India’s refusal to acknowledge its responsibility for this massacre only deepens the wound it has inflicted on Kashmir, further entrenching the cycle of violence.

Kashmir’s Resolve: Unbroken by Brutality

Despite decades of Indian repression, the spirit of resistance in IIOJK remains unbroken. The Kashmiri people have never wavered in their demand for the right to self-determination, despite enduring severe oppression and bloodshed. India’s atrocities, including the Gool Massacre, cannot silence the will of the Kashmiri people to achieve their freedom and justice. India’s actions have only intensified the resolve of Kashmiris to continue their struggle, as every act of brutality serves as a alarming reminder of the oppression they face daily.

The Struggle for Freedom Continues

The Indian government continues to ignore the Kashmiri struggle, but the people of Kashmir remain resolute in their fight. The massacre, like countless others, has only fueled the determination of Kashmiris to see their freedom struggle through to its logical conclusion. India’s brutal tactics, meant to crush the will of Kashmiris, have only sharpened their resolve, ensuring that the quest for justice will continue unwavering.

A Demand for Justice That Will Not Be Silenced

India’s attempts to crush the freedom movement will never succeed. The Kashmiri people’s demand for a plebiscite and their quest for self-determination are as strong as ever. The morale of Kashmiris remains high, and they will continue to resist until they achieve justice, regardless of the obstacles in their path. The Gool Massacre is not a defeat but a symbol of the unbreakable spirit of the Kashmiri people. India’s suppression will never erase the truth of Kashmir’s struggle, as it is a battle that will endure until freedom is achieved.

Kashmir’s Fight: A Struggle against India’s Aggression

Kashmir’s future lies not in India’s violent occupation but in the hands of the Kashmiri people. The Gool Massacre is part of a wider pattern of Indian repression, designed to suppress the will of Kashmiris and deny them their rights. India’s continued brutality and occupation have turned Kashmir into a symbol of resistance, a land where the fight for justice will never cease. The struggle for Kashmir’s freedom is far from over, and justice will not rest until Kashmiris are free. India’s refusal to acknowledge its crimes only strengthens the determination of Kashmiris to continue their fight until they are liberated.
