The Drug Menace: A Silent Weapon to Cripple Kashmir’s Resistance

A New Level of Oppression in Kashmir

India’s relentless oppression of Kashmir has reached a new, destructive extreme. The flood of drugs into Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) is not merely a consequence of India’s own drug crisis; it is a deliberate attack on the heart of Kashmiri resistance. As the youth of Kashmir continue to rise against Indian illegal occupation, India has unleashed a silent weapon: narcotics. This is not merely a public health issue; it is a calculated strategy to cripple the will of Kashmir’s youth and break the backbone of their resistance for freedom and self-determination.

The Growing Drug Epidemic in India and Its Impact on IIOJK

India’s drug epidemic has reached alarming levels, with opioids, alcohol, and synthetic drugs devastating the nation. But the most frightening aspect is the deliberate infiltration of narcotics into IIOJK. India’s already brutal occupation has now transformed into a two-front war, one fought with bullets, the other with substances designed to numb the mind and silence the will to resist. The spread of drugs in Kashmir is not an accident; it is a deliberate assault aimed at breaking the very core of Kashmiri society.

Is It a Policy Failure or a Deliberate Strategy?

Is this just a policy failure, or a deliberate strategy? The question is loud and clear. The reports have repeatedly shown the Indian state’s active role through its military, intelligence agencies, and political operatives in flooding Kashmir with narcotics.

The Deliberate Push to Weaken Kashmir’s Resistance

Under the false guise of “normalization,” alcohol and narcotics are being freely distributed in IIOJK, despite fierce local opposition. This is not an oversight; it is a calculated attack to weaken the resistance movement by turning its youth into addicts. “The aim is clear,” said a human rights activist from Srinagar. “They want to weaken the social fabric and disconnect Kashmiri youth from the resistance movement by making them dependent on substances.”

The Role of Indian Forces and RSS in the Drug Trade

Additionally, there have been reports accusing Indian army personnel, Special Operations Group (SOG), and police officers of being involved in the illegal drug trade within the Valley. Multiple reports expose their involvement in the distribution of narcotics across Kashmir. RSS-backed drug networks are fueling a mafia that spans across India, funneling drugs directly into IIOJK. The corruption within India’s military and police forces only serves to accelerate this deadly operation. Instead of protecting the people, India’s armed forces are actively poisoning the very youth that represent Kashmir’s hope and future.

Kashmir’s Youth: Fighting an Invisible Enemy

Kashmir’s youth are now fighting an invisible enemy: a poisonous epidemic that robs them of their will and their strength. This is the ultimate form of colonization: a war waged not with guns, but with substances that enslave the body and break the spirit. Narcotics are not only destroying lives; they are systematically dismantling a generation’s ability to stand up, to resist, and to claim their rights.

A Wake-Up Call to the International Community

The international community must wake up to what is happening in IIOJK. This is no longer a local crisis; it is a deliberate, state-sponsored strategy to destroy the resistance and turn the people of Kashmir into passive, drug-dependent subjects. The involvement of the Indian military and intelligence agencies in this operation must be held accountable. These institutions must be held accountable for their role in this sickening campaign.

The Fight for Kashmir’s Future

Kashmir’s youth are fighting for survival. They are fighting both external oppression and the internal poison that seeks to destroy them from within. The world cannot afford to ignore the brutal reality unfolding in Kashmir. The time to act is now. Kashmir’s future cannot be one where its youth are enslaved by drugs; it must be a future where they are empowered to continue their fight for freedom, justice, and self-determination.
