Killing the Kashmiri Resistance
May 29, 2017

Violence erupted once again in the Kashmir valley as the Indian forces clashed with protesters after the killing of another popular militant leader, Sabzar Ahmed Bhat. The episode mirrors the killing of Burhan Wani – reportedly a close friend of Bhat – that sparked a wave of unrest that has persisted until now. If past events are any indication, the valley is in for another period of extended unrest.

It seems India has not learned from its mistakes in its occupation of Kashmir. The policy of repression and humiliation of the Kashmiri people is only creating more antagonism. In its efforts to delegitimise the Kashmiri cause by conflating it with terrorism and blaming all unrest on Pakistani interference, the Indian administration has blinded itself to the sentiments of the Kashmiri people.

Burhan Wani and Sabzar Ahmed Bhat were surely armed militants, but they were not the product of the global jihad network nor affiliated with any terror groups as India makes them out to be – they were the product of decades of Indian repression. This is why the individuals like them, who resist against the Indian Army, are so popular among the Kashmiri people. They are not seen as a violent byproduct of Middle Eastern conflicts by the Kashmiri, but an extension of the Kashmiri struggle.

Not understanding this fact, or perhaps willfully refusing to understand it, has led to India’s continued failure in the valley. Its brutal mechanisms for crowd control, continued violations of human rights laws, and the treatment of Kashmiris as lesser citizens, only exacerbates this.

Killing Kashmiri militants and beating back protests will not sweep the Kashmir issue under the rug – it will only escalate the problem as the past months have shown. Only by holding an open discussion on the issue with all stakeholders as equals will the Indian government be able to stop the chants of “go India go”.

If India wants to kill the Kashmir problem using brute force they can do so any day. These kids do stone pelting every Friday and then go home, come back again next Friday to repeat the story. If India wants they can cordon and search an entire village or area (just like they do to catch terrorists) and pick up these kids and hold them in detention naked accompanied with a good amount of spanking. Then suddenly the 500 rs. won't look pretty easy and lucrative to these kids. But due to politics local government doesn't want to do down that route. But if push comes to shove, with President's rule Kashmir problem or so-called resistance can be solved in 3 months.

they can't do it without fighting a nuclear war with Pakistan.
Pakistani people specially gorilla war masters from north west will fight an all out and long war till Indians get out of Kashmir. that's what their history is.

Here's a heartbreaking footage for you, of Indians showing their love for Indian Army. This is in Kashmir province of India.

These are those who consider themselves Indian and India considers them its sons.

Those who pelt stones/petrol bombs or pick up the gun based on some notional Azaadi are free to take the shortcut to hell.

Your obsession for Kashmir has only led to your own downfall and worse fate awaits you if you don't mend your ways. 'You' as in the nation and peoples of Pakistan, not you personally.

Nuclear war be our guest! You guys are doing what you can paying these kids through Hurriyat, pushing infiltrators, propaganda war etc etc. We are doing what we can, taking our sweet time so that people can understand futility of this nonsense, pumping pellets inside these miscreants as and when required, bullets inside armed insurgents and making this proxy war costly for Pakistan. The valley flares up for a month or so every 3-4 years, we can live with that no biggie for us. Let the time pass and people will themselves turn against these separatists sooner or later, who wants frequent strike calls and curfews. And if that doesn't workout as I said earlier we always have plan B or using brute force. I don't think empty threats from an enemy 7 times smaller concerns IA much, in fact these days with Modi at the helm they are itching for a fight.

My dear CaptainJackSparrow, Instead of trying to convince me that how indian loves Kashmiris. You should have to read Daily news papers and have to watch talk shows. that how the whole Valley is being paid by ISI.


pelting stones is not a crime, but firing live ammo on stone pelters is a crime..

 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

pelting stones is not a crime

May not be in Pakistan, sir, in pretty much every other civilized country in the world, it is a crime with shoot-on sight response.
