♦ Widespread Killings And Arrests: Since 2019, over a thousand people have been killed and nearly thirty thousand arrested. These numbers show a plan to silence every voice that speaks for freedom.
♦ Families Broken Apart: Hundreds of homes have been burned. Many women have lost husbands, and children have lost parents. Life in IIOJK has been reduced to survival.
♦ Constant Raids: More than twenty-two thousand raids have been carried out, leaving residents living in daily fear and uncertainty.
Hindutva Agenda In Kashmir
The violence in Kashmir is part of the Hindutva ideology promoted by the Modi government. It aims to remove Muslim identity and bring the region under complete political and cultural control.
♦ Changing Demographics: Land seizures, new settlements, and renaming of places show India’s plan to change the Muslim majority of the valley.
♦ Military Domination: More than half a million troops control every road and street. Surveillance and checkpoints have made life unbearable for the people of Kashmir.
Silencing Leadership And Media
The Indian government has blocked all political and civil voices in IIOJK. Anyone who speaks for justice faces arrest or harassment.
♦ Political Prisoners: Masarrat Aalam Butt, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Shabbir Ahmad Shah, and Aasiya Andrabi are among thousands of leaders jailed for demanding self-determination.
♦ Attack On Journalists: Human rights worker Khurram Parvez and several journalists are in prison for exposing Indian abuses. Media outlets face censorship, and the internet is often shut down to hide the truth.
Breaking International Law
India’s actions in IIOJK violate global laws and United Nations resolutions. Yet, the world has failed to stop these violations.
♦ Ignoring United Nations Promises: By ending Kashmir’s special status, India broke its past commitments to the United Nations. The region remains disputed and cannot be changed by force.
♦ World Powers Remain Silent: Despite detailed reports from human rights groups, the global response remains weak. Economic and political interests continue to come before justice.
Impact On People And Economy
The ongoing crisis has destroyed Kashmir’s economy and social life. The people struggle to live normal lives under constant restrictions.
♦ Loss Of Livelihoods: Curfews and shutdowns have damaged trade, tourism, and farming. Thousands have lost jobs, and students suffer from repeated school closures.
♦ Mental Pain And Fear: The long years of conflict have left deep emotional scars. Children grow up surrounded by soldiers and gunfire instead of peace and learning.
Danger To Regional Peace
The violence in IIOJK is not only a human rights issue but also a serious threat to peace in South Asia.
♦ Rising Tension In The Region: Kashmir remains a nuclear flashpoint between Pakistan and India. The Modi government’s aggressive actions increase the danger of conflict in the area.
♦ Global Duty To Act: The international community must break its silence. Ignoring the suffering in Kashmir while speaking of human rights elsewhere is hypocrisy and moral failure.
Need For Justice And Freedom
Peace in South Asia will remain a dream until the people of Kashmir are given their right to decide their future.
♦ United Nations Must Act: The United Nations must take real action and send teams to investigate the abuses. Promises without results only encourage further crimes.
♦ Pakistan’s Consistent Support: Pakistan continues to raise the issue at global forums and calls for a peaceful, fair solution based on the will of the Kashmiri people.
♦ Conclusion: End The Silence Kashmir is bleeding while the world looks away. Behind India’s claims of democracy lies a government built on control and fear. The Modi administration has turned the valley into a prison, where voices of truth are punished. The time has come for the world to speak clearly and stand for justice. Freedom for Kashmir is not just a regional demand, it is a moral duty for all humanity.
