India’s Bloody Occupation Turns Kashmir into a Valley of The Vanished as Thousands Disappear Under Brutal State Failure

The Indian occupation has turned Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK)into a graveyard of the disappeared where an official record of 7151 missing persons in 2023 exposes a massive humanitarian disaster. With 4190 individuals remaining untraced in a single year the Indian government has failed to protect even children and girls from a predatory environment of trafficking and state-sponsored negligence. This systematic rise from 5824 cases in 2020 to current horrific levels proves that the rhetoric of normalcy is a lie used to cover up the blood and misery of the occupied people under the boots of the Indian regime.

1. The Horrific Escalation of Forced Disappearances

The sheer scale of the crisis in IIOJK is enough to shake the conscience of any civilized society because the brutal Indian state has turned the valley into a land where people simply vanish into thin air. The latest figures released in the Rajya Sabha are not just numbers but a screaming indictment of a predatory regime that thrives on the misery of an occupied people. In 2023 alone the valley recorded a shocking 7151 missing persons cases which serves as a brutal reminder of the insecurity prevailing under the shadow of the gun. This is not an isolated spike but part of a systematic trend of state failure and oppression that has intensified over the years. The records show a terrifying jump from 5824 missing cases in 2020 to 6486 in 2021 and 6983 in 2022.

2. A Legacy of State Failure and Untraced Victims

The Indian regime has no answer for the thousands of families whose loved ones remain lost in the dark cells of the occupation. At the start of 2023 there were already 3960 untraced persons from previous years proving that the state has a long and bloody history of failing to account for those who vanish. During the year 3304 new missing cases were reported as the Indian regime continued its hunt for the youth and the vulnerable people of the occupied territory. Out of the total pool of 7151 missing persons only 2961 were recovered leaving a massive 4190 individuals to rot in an unknown fate by the end of 2023. This surge from 3813 untraced victims in 2020 to 4190 in 2023 highlights a growing epidemic of disappearances that New Delhi refuses to address with any honesty. The incompetence of the security forces is exposed when they cannot trace 4190 people in one of the most militarized zones in the entire world.

3. Targeting the Future as India Preys on Children

Perhaps the most disgusting aspect of the Indian occupation is its failure to protect the most innocent members of society from harm. India has become a predator of children in the occupied territory and the statistics are truly gut-wrenching. In 2022 the valley recorded 821 minors reported missing and the state’s incompetence is reflected in the fact that 445 of these children are still untraced. The year 2021 was equally devastating with 723 children reported missing and 483 of them never returning to their parents. These are children whose futures have been stolen by a system that only knows how to suppress.

4. A National Crisis of Total Social Collapse

The rot is not limited to the occupied valley but extends across the entire Indian landscape proving that the state is in a condition of total social collapse. National figures reveal that India has become a global hub of disappearances with 868559 people reported missing across the country in 2023. This is a monstrous rise from 670145 missing persons in 2020 showing that the entire country is drowning in its own failure while the government makes fake claims of progress. At the end of 2023 over 407673 people remained untraced across India which is a testament to a hollow internal security apparatus. The National Crime Records Bureau continues to publish these reports that expose the terrifying reality of a country where nearly half a million people vanish without a trace in a single year.

5. Cowardly Excuses and Blood Money

When confronted with these bloody statistics the Indian leadership resorts to cowardly excuses. Bandi Sanjay Kumar shamelessly hides behind the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution to escape responsibility. By claiming that police and public order are state subjects the Union Government is trying to wash the blood from its hands while it continues to rule IIOJK with an iron fist. The Indian state also attempts to buy the silence of grieving families through compensation schemes that act as blood money. The statistics show that compensation payouts rose from 2218747426 rupees in 2021 to a massive 4846737631 rupees in 2024. In the current year 2025 alone the government has already distributed 1540287605 rupees up to July 25 which is a shocking amount used to cover up state failures. These funds are distributed under the new Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita section 396. This rapid increase in compensation is a silent confession of guilt because the rising numbers prove that crime is out of control and the state is forced to pay billions to manage the fallout of its own tyranny. No amount of money can bring back the 7151 missing souls or fill the void in the hearts of the 4190 families whose loved ones are still untraced.

6. The Exposure of a Tyrannical Regime

The reality of IIOJK under Indian occupation is a dark tale of suffering that no amount of state propaganda can hide. The 7151 missing persons of 2023 are a permanent stain on the face of the Indian state. India stands exposed as a failed state that can only maintain its grip through terror and the disappearance of those who dare to exist. The rising statistics of missing persons and the billions spent in blood money are clear indicators that the occupation is unsustainable and morally bankrupt. It is time for the international community to hold New Delhi accountable for the graveyard it has created and for the blood that continues to soak the soil of the occupied valley. The families of the vanished deserve more than empty promises and bureaucratic lies from a regime that has clearly lost its right to govern.
