Indian troops martyr 7 Kashmiris in September in IIOJK

September is over, but it left behind new sadness and pain in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The latest news from the area shows a horrible truth: this is not random violence, but a planned and non-stop campaign of state-led terror by the Indian government. The sad numbers are a strong criticism of the Modi government, which uses murder, mass arrests, and group punishment to crush the rightful hopes of the Kashmiri people. Each death and every raided home is a clear reminder that the valley suffers under a very cruel military control.

A Horrible Record of State-Supported Killings

The right to live has been taken away by India’s cruel rule in Kashmir. There, security forces act with complete freedom from punishment, serving as judge, jury, and killer. September was a very bloody month, showing a reality where Indian troops can kill unarmed people without any fear of being punished. This is not a failure to keep order; it is a planned policy to kill and control.

• Seven More Lives Cruelly Taken: Kashmir Media Service data shows Indian forces killed seven Kashmiris, including a young boy. These killings are a direct result of official policy that allows deadly force against local people.
• The Lie of Fake Gunfights: Three victims were murdered in fake gunfights or while in police custody. This is a common method used by Indian forces to kill those who disagree with them and then call the murders legitimate security operations.
• Cruelty Spreads to Ladakh: The violence was not just in the Kashmir valley. In Leh, four civilians were shot and killed for protesting for their political rights. This proves India’s harsh rule will crush any political disagreement across the entire occupied land.

Using Cruel Laws as Weapons of Control

Along with the physical violence, the Indian state is fighting a legal war against the people of Kashmir. Very cruel laws are used to ignore the justice system completely. This allows the mass jailing of anyone who questions the occupation. These laws are not for safety; they are tools of foreign rulers meant to silence the population.

• A Campaign of Mass Arrests: In September alone, Indian forces carried out at least 163 search operations and house raids. These frightening military operations led to the arrest of 351 civilians, political activists, and even social figures.
• Rule by Cruel Laws: Most of those arrested were charged under cruel laws like the Public Safety Act (PSA). These laws allow the government to keep people in jail forever without a trial, turning Kashmir into a state with no real laws.
• Targeting Important Voices: The arrest of a well-known activist, Sonam Wangchuk, shows that no one is safe. India’s goal is to silence every important voice, whether political, social, or academic, to create a climate of fear and force people to give up.

Punishing Whole Groups as a State Method

To break the spirit of the Kashmiri people, the Indian state punishes entire communities for what a few people may have done. This includes causing widespread money problems and physical pain to scare the population into silence. This method is illegal under international law but is openly used by Indian forces.

• Causing Widespread Injury: At least 101 people were seriously injured during the month as Indian forces used extreme force. They fired bullets and metal pellets on peaceful protesters. This is a planned way to injure and disable people, creating constant fear.
• Crushing the People Financially: The BJP-led administration has increased its control by seizing private property. Nine properties, including family homes and farm lands, were taken in September.
• Destroying People’s Ability to Earn: These illegal actions are part of the Modi government’s plan to crush the Kashmiri people with money problems. By destroying their ability to earn a living, New Delhi hopes to make the cost of demanding political rights too high.

The Terrible Human Pain of Occupation

Behind the cold numbers of death and arrests is a story of deep human pain. Every person killed by Indian forces leaves behind a broken family and a sad community. The Modi government’s war in Kashmir is not just against a political movement but against the soul of Kashmiri society, causing pain that will be passed down to their children.

• Families Torn Apart by Violence: The killings in September alone left two more women as widows and seven more children without parents. These families are the forgotten victims of India’s control, left to face a painful and difficult future.
• A Generation Growing Up in Fear: For over thirty years, Kashmiri children have grown up surrounded by soldiers, checkpoints, and the constant threat of violence. This never-ending state of fear has caused deep mental harm to an entire generation.

A Government of Outsiders in Today’s World

The government in Indian Occupied Jammu and Kashmir is not a democracy; it is an outpost run from New Delhi. The local administration, led by officials chosen by the ruling BJP, exists only to enforce India’s illegal control, not to help the Kashmiri people. Its policies are made to oppress, divide, and weaken the local population.

• Direct Rule From New Delhi: The administration, under Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, operates under the direct command of the Indian Home Minister. This setup makes sure that the government’s anti-Kashmiri plan is carried out without any local say or democratic process.
• A Corrupt and Divisive Plan: The local administration is known for its deep corruption and for pushing the BJP’s divisive ideas in a Muslim-majority area. This has made the people even angrier and increased their opposition to the Indian state.

Kashmir’s True Leadership Is in Jail

To make sure there is no organized political challenge to its rule, India has jailed almost all of Kashmir’s pro-freedom leaders. The valley’s most respected political figures, activists, journalists, and rights defenders are held in jails across India, often in terrible conditions and without a fair legal process.

• Thousands of Political Prisoners: Over 3,000 Hurriyat leaders, activists, students, and rights defenders are being held in prisons. This mass jailing is a clear attempt to leave the Kashmiri freedom movement without leaders.
• Important Leaders Silenced by Force: This includes top leaders like Masarrat Aalam Butt, Muhammad Yasin Malik, and Shabbir Ahmad Shah, along with rights defenders like Khurram Parvez. Their only crime is that they refuse to accept India’s illegal control.

The World’s Shameful and Loud Silence

The sad story in Kashmir is happening while the world watches in silence. Major world powers, focused on their economic and political deals with India, have chosen to ignore the clear evidence of horrible human rights abuses. This silence is not neutral; it is a form of support for India’s crimes.

• A Green Light for More Cruelty: The lack of any real international pressure has given the Modi government the freedom to continue its rule of fear in Kashmir. India knows that it will not face any serious punishment for its crimes against humanity.
• A Desperate Call for Action: Empty words of concern are no longer enough. It is time for the United Nations and other world groups to hold India responsible for its actions and to demand that UN promises giving Kashmiris the right to choose their own future are fulfilled.

A People’s Strong Spirit for Freedom

Despite decades of unbelievable cruelty, the Indian state has completely failed to break the spirit of the Kashmiri people. Every funeral for a victim becomes a protest for freedom, and every act of cruelty only makes the people more determined to fight the occupation.

• The Unending Demand for Freedom: India’s military power has not been able to kill the Kashmiri people’s demand for their right to choose their own future. This right was promised to them by the world through many UN Security Council resolutions.
• A Long and Just Fight: The fight of the Kashmiri people is a just and rightful one. While India continues its campaign of murder and cruelty, the people of Kashmir continue to stand strong, sure that their sacrifices will not be for nothing and their fight for freedom will one day win.
