Islamist Radical Terroristan Pakistan Responsible for Bleeding Kashmir
Islamist Radical “Terroristan” Pakistan
is responsible for Bleeding Kashmir. Kashmir was once a Hindu Land, and
for centuries different invaders and rulers plundered this land. The
culture of Kashmir became unique with lots of Hindus and soft and
moderate form of Islam known as Sufism was followed in Kashmir. However
Terrorist Nation Pakistan which was a born enemy of India, had been
constantly needling India and bleeding Kashmir. Who is the worst
sufferer? Over a Million Kashmiri Pandit Refugees are forced to live the
lives of refugees else where in India. Original culture of “Sufism” has
been hijacked and destroyed by Pakistan by infiltrating Terrorists for
several decades and brainwashing people to become Radical Islamists.
The word Kashmir was derived from the
name of the Hindu sage Kashyapa who is believed to have settled people
in this land. Accordingly, Kashmir would be derived from either
kashyapa-mir (Kashyapa’s Lake) or kashyapa-meru (Kashyapa’s Mountain).
In the first half of the first
millennium, the Kashmir region became an important centre of Hinduism
and later of Buddhism; later still, in the ninth century, Kashmir
Shaivism arose. In 1339, Shah Mir became the first Muslim ruler of
Kashmir, inaugurating the Salatin-i-Kashmir or Shah Mir dynasty. Kashmir
was part of the Mughal Empire from 1586 to 1751, and thereafter, until
1820, of the Afghan Durrani Empire. That year, the Sikhs, under Ranjit
Singh, annexed Kashmir. In 1846, after the Sikh defeat in the First
Anglo-Sikh War, and upon the purchase of the region from the British
under the Treaty of Amritsar, the Raja of Jammu, Gulab Singh, became the
new ruler of Kashmir. The rule of his descendants, under the
paramountcy (or tutelage) of the British Crown, lasted until the
partition of India in 1947, when the former princely state of the
British Indian Empire acceded to India when Maharaja Hari Singh Signed
the certificate of Accession.
On 22-October 1947, an impatient
Pakistan invaded Kashmir from the north with an army of soldiers and
tribesmen militia armed with modern weapons. The tales of the invader’s
brutal sackings of towns, and mass killings reached the people of
Srinagar soon after and created mass hysteria. Kashmir, without an army,
was under serious threat. The intention of Pakistan had been to instill
fear into the Kashmiris so they would surrender quickly.
Maharaja Hari Singh sent Sheikh
Abdullah as his representative to Delhi to seek India’s help, and in turn
signed the Statement of Accession. The next day, five days after the invasion
began, Indian troops were flown into the capital Srinagar and fought alongside
the local Kashmiris against the invaders, who had reached within a few miles of
Srinagar.
The war was not over until the
end of 1948 and left the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir split
between India and Pakistan (Pakistan later gave a portion of its land to
China).
Abdullah explained his reasoning
for joining India in 1948 when he declared: “We the people of Jammu and
Kashmir, have thrown our lot with Indian people not in the heat of passion or a
moment of despair, but by a deliberate choice. The union of our people has been
fused by the community of ideals and common sufferings in the cause of freedom”.
He also later reflected that the
one million non-Muslims of the State would have no place in Pakistan and as the
Kashmiris had always preached secularism their ideological home was India.
Initial Years in the Indian Union
In September 1951 the first ever
elections were held for the Constituent Assembly in the state. The National
Conference won all 75 seats unopposed. Article 370 of the Indian Constitution was
passed in 1952 and was the compromise between the demands of Indian secularism
and Muslim sub-nationalism.
But by 1953 Abdullah had become
confrontational with his own cabinet and began speaking of revoking the
accession and forming an independent Kashmir on several occasions.
In August 1953 Sheikh Abdullah
was arrested for having turned corrupt and autocratic.
The 1965 War
Under Bakshi Ghulam Mohammed the state
had made great progress by way of new schools, universities, hospitals
and roads. In 1964 Bakshi retired as Prime Minister. What then changed
was Pakistan. The democratic government was overthrown in 1958 in a
military coup and the new leader of Pakistan, General Ayub Khan,
secretly pursued Kashmir. To keep public support, the military promised
the Pakistani military Kashmir, as well as defense from attacks from
India. Pakistan would never give up its claim on all of Kashmir, for as
they explained the letter K in Pakistan stood for Kashmir.
In 1965 Pakistan suddenly invaded
Kashmir in an attempt to take it by force, leading to a short war in
which Pakistan was defeated heavily. The Kashmiri population supported
the Indian army and helped repel the Pakistani attack. Capture of Barki
was hailed as one of the master set piece battalion attacks. 4 SIKH had
39 killed and 121 wounded. Battle Honour ‘Barki’ and Theatre Honour
‘Punjab’ were awarded to the Unit besides gallantry medals one MVC and
three VrCs. Dr S Radhakrishnan, President of India, visited Barki later,
had tea with the troops and highly complimented the battalion for its
sacrifices and victory.
Following the war, most Kashmiri people had
turned strongly anti-Pakistan as they were seen as the aggressors. In 1972, the
Simla Agreement stated that India and Pakistan would resolve their differences
bilaterally, and not through the United Nations or other third parties.
The Kashmir Accord
The Plebiscite movement had
failed to achieve anything, and after the 1971 War in which Pakistan was not only
defeated by India but split in half, Abdullah and Kashmir moved closer to
India. In 1972, Abdullah announced “our dispute with Government of India is not
about accession but is about the quantum of autonomy.”
The 1975 Kashmir Accord, signed
by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and Chief Minister Sheikh Abdullah further
strengthened India’s control over legislation in Kashmir (however Article 370
remained).
Kashmir had very much become a
part of India by this time. Popular Indian films were shot in the beautiful and
picturesque Kashmir locales with its gardens, mountains and lakes providing
scenic backdrops. The Indian upper class would venture to Kashmir in the summer
for weeks at a time, socializing in the cooler climate of places such as Gulmarg
(near Srinagar). So while the Kashmiri people retained their own distinct
culture within the mosaic of India, they were a part of India’s multi-cultural
ways by the 1970s
In 1977 the State Congress Party
withdrew its support of the Abdullah Government, thus ending the
National Conference-Congress alliance of the time. In retaliation, two
years after signing the Kashmir Accord and thus reaffirming Kashmir as
an integral part of India, Abdullah began speaking about a plebiscite
and even independence. In 1979, Pakistani Prime Minister Z.A. Bhutto
pledged to “fight for a thousand years for the cause of oppressed Kashmiri Muslims.”
The Islamization of Kashmir
In 1980, the Islamization of
Kashmir began with full force. The Abdullah Government changed the names of about
2500 villages from their original names to new Islamic names.
For example, the major city of Anantnag
was to be known as Islamabad (same name as the Pakistani Capital). The
Sheikh began giving communal speeches in mosques as he used to in the
1930s. Further, in his autobiography he referred to Kashmiri Pandits as “mukhbir” or informers (of the Indian government).
There was clearly an orchestrated
public relations campaign to change the Kashmiri people. There was the
distribution of a pamphlet titled the “Tragedy of Kashmir”. Suddenly thousands
of copies of Pakistani writer Muhammed Yusuf Saraf’s book “Kashmiris Fight for
Freedom” appeared in the Valley, as did “On Guerrilla War” by Che Guevara.
Then an elected Member of State
Parliament released a pamphlet called “The Conspiracy of Converting Kashmir
Muslim Majority into a Minority.”
With Abdullah’s death in 1982,
the secessionist leadership emerged in full force. Despite having Abdullah’s
support in his final days they turned against him and his National Conference.
Farooq Abdullah, who succeeded his father as leader of the National Conference
lost the 1984 State Election
Alleged Saudi Role
Many Saudi religious
personalities and scholars held an Islamic Conference in Srinagar in 1979 and
visited often thereafter.
Further, they set up the Jhelum
Valley (JV) Medical College in 1980, through which they were able to funnel
large sums of foreign exchange money into Kashmir, and also provide seats for
the children of Kashmir’s elite who could not gain admission at other colleges based
on their results. Anecdotal evidence suggests it was the doctors in this hospital
that began spreading the message of radical Islam and communalism. Further, armed
militants later were captured with documents showing they had received
Pakistani currency from the JV Medical College.
Nowadays even Pakistani sources
confirm the extensive use of Saudi money that went towards setting up
facilities, such as Madrassahs that trained jihadis in the region.
From the early 1980s, Madrassahs started
spreading throughout the Kashmir Vale, and these institutions planted
the seeds of Islamic fundamentalism in Kashmiris from an early age.
Children were instructed to “fight for Islam”, and hatred for their
Kashmiri Pandit counterparts was bred extensively. Anecdotes suggest
that classes being taught the alphabet learnt that “B is for Batta. M is for marun. Batta chu marun”, where Batta refers to local non-muslims, marun is to kill, hence ‘The local non-Muslim has to be killed’.
Initial Outbreaks of Violence
In early 1986 were the first
clear outbreaks of violence when Muslim fundamentalists attacked the minority
Kashmiri Pandits.
The exact reason of the outbreak
remains unclear, but at the end of it dozens of Pandits had been killed and
Hindu temples had been burnt by Muslim mobs.
Violent disturbances such as
these were all carried out in the name of Islam. The Governor of Kashmir at the
time, Jagmohan, observed that most of the disturbances that took place occurred
on Friday nights as crowds dispersed from the mosques. Mosques became a
platform for religious sermons intermingled with fiery political speeches. The people
delivering these speeches were often trained mullahs, who had been sent to Kashmir
from Pakistan for this specific purpose. A Kashmiri who attended Mosques during
this period commented that such provocative language and distorted facts were used
that even deep-thinking and highly learned persons who listened to these would certainly
arise too. Thus, on Friday nights it became quite common for public vehicles to
be stoned and police to be attacked.
In fact, the outbreak of militant
violence that became commonplace in the valley was a purely contemporary
concept for Kashmiris. Kashmir has no history of resisting hordes of foreign
rulers, and in fact was shaped by principles of non-violence and pacifism as
dictated by Kashmir’s cultural heritage in the Rishi Order. Thus, it was easy
for the Islamic fundamentalist influence to take hold of the submissive
Kashmiri people. By using Islam to justify their violence the insurgents were
able to refer to their struggle as ‘justice’.
Radical Islam
Before the 1980s, there were
pockets of Islamic Fundamentalism present in isolated parts of Kashmir, notably
in Sopore and around the Anantnag region. It’s important to appreciate the
difference between Kashmiri Islam and the more mainstream fanatical Islam which
took over the rest of the Islamic world in recent centuries. In Kashmiri Islam,
a variant of Sufism, there is much Hindu Vedanta influence stemming from the
fact that most Kashmiri Muslims were originally Hindus who had been converted
between 1300-1800. In fact, Kashmiri Islam is based upon the teaching of their Rishis,
a word borrowed from their original Hindu philosophy meaning learned scholar.
The Kashmiri Rishis, some of whom
were also Hindus, formed their own form of peaceful Islam that had become
secular, democratic and very liberal in thought. And so it was this clash of
Islams that came to the fore in the early 1980s.
This division was only later highlighted
when in 1995 notorious Afghan mercenary Mast Gul burned down the sacred Sufi
shrine of Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Noorani. The subsequent outcry from the general
Kashmiri Muslim population resulted in large numbers of the Kashmiri insurgents
pulling out of their militant groups which were based in Pakistan, and in fact
giving up their weapons altogether. What happened in 1995 was not foreseen by
the Kashmiri Muslim youth in the late 1980s. They had believed they were
victims and that to be true Muslims they needed the strict Shariat Law and
thought Pakistan was there to help them. One former militant leader has said they
had been manipulated by the Pakistanis as they were young at the time, but had been
responsive to them as they were frustrated by New Delhi’s lack of response to their
plight.
The publication of The Satanic
Verses in Britain in 1989 by Salman Rushdie, a Kashmiri Muslim, caused major
protests in Kashmir. Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran banned the book, claiming it
was blasphemous and critical of Islam and Prophet Muhammad. The Kashmiris,
never having seen the book, felt it was their duty as Muslims to protest. In
fact the triumph of the Ayatollah in the Iran Revolution of 1979 gave much confidence
to the secessionist fundamentalists. The Ayatollah talked of Islamic
Revolutions in all the countries of the world to liberate the enslaved Muslim people.
The Jamaat-I-Islami party spread rumors that the Ayatollah’s ancestors had come
to Kashmir and that he was thus related to Kashmiri Muslims. This became a
great matter of pride for them, never mind that he was a Shia and most of them
were Sunni Muslims.
Jamaati and Hurriyat inciting Kashmiri Muslims with disinformation
The Jamaati directed people to buy weapons instead of color TVs, and Ghani Lone, a current member of the Hurriyat, implored all local women to sell their jewellery to help finance the purchase of weapons.
In fact, the Jamaati claimed that the Pandits (presumably Indian agents
as they were Hindus went the argument) were secretly collecting weapons
and so the Muslims should follow suit.
End of Afghan War and Pakistan Sending War Addicted Afghans in Kashmir for Terrorism
The final stages of the Afghan
War brought about a sudden surge in armaments and manpower readily available
for the Kashmir struggle. In fact, Kashmir Police found themselves outgunned by
the militants who possessed Kalashnikovs, grenades and rocket launchers.
Pakistan sources also admit that their generals used “war-addicted Afghans”
(some fifty thousand veterans were left with no war to fight) to keep the
Indian Army occupied in counter-insurgency. Their tactic certainly worked, as
demonstrated by the growing dissatisfaction of local Kashmiris with Indian
Security Forces.
Many of the elite, who were paid
by both Pakistan and India, preached for all Kashmiris to send their sons for
the jihad. Recent criticism of them accuse them of refusing to send their own
sons while encouraging others to sacrifice theirs. In fact it became a matter
of family pride for a son to go fight as an insurgent. Devoid of a higher education,
jobs and other notable ways for personal achievement, taking arms was the new
manner in which the common Kashmiri could prove his valor and gain respect.
Pakistan Pushed Islamic Fundamentalism in Indian Kashmir
With about one-third of the
former princely state under Pakistani occupation, there was direct influence
from the Pakistan side into the Indian side by ways of Islamic Fundamentalism.
The Islamic radicals formed the Jamaat-i-Islami party to contest elections on
the platform of introducing the strict Islamic Shariat laws into Kashmir.
They won a few districts and were
able to influence those predominantly rural areas In the 1970s, the Jamaats
offered education to the Kashmiri Muslims and their conservative teachings
included criticism on non-Muslims and anti-India messages. To finance
themselves, their members had to pay 10% of their earnings to the party. In
fact Abdullah had banned these Jamaati madrassas in 1975 for ‘spreading
communal poison’.
The result was many of these
teachers were simply employed by government schools where they continued to
spread their propaganda until more madrassas came up. By as early as 1983, the
Government of India received reports of Kashmiri youth returning home after
receiving training somewhere on the border. By 1984, the theme “Islam is
in Danger” was the sentiment that mobilized the youth, rather than
aspirations for independence
By 1989, the Indian government
estimated that about 10,000 Kashmiri youth had gone to Pakistan to undergo
training.
Not only was this emerging
younger generation of Kashmiri Muslims indoctrinated with Islamic
fundamentalism, but they were also faced with declining economic conditions.
Exact figures of youth unemployment are not available. However, even amongst
the educated, figures were quite high. In 1987 nearly 10,000 university graduates
were unemployed, and between 40,000 and 50,000 school graduates suffered from
unemployment. Needless to say this youth group did not belong to the elite who had
dominated Kashmir. Furthermore, when they crossed the border to become trained jihadis,
they were often supplied with substantial amounts of money and financial support.
There were also a number of
mounting social pressures that quickly became part of mainstream culture. For
instance, it became a status symbol to have a mujahedin in the family.
Most weapons did indeed come in
from Pakistan. The Indian Border Security
Forces, posted in isolated mountain ranges, did not stop many people who
crossed the border between India and Pakistan. They did not realize that money
and weapons were being transferred
The Insurgency
Contrary to the popular view that the
insurgents picked up their guns in response to an undemocratic political
system, in no way was the movement fighting for greater democratic
rights. In fact, as already shown, they had already picked up their guns
prior to the election. Their cause was religiously and ideologically
fueled. In many ways, the ruling National Conference party had
encouraged this atmosphere through a range of propaganda campaigns. Even
as far back as the 1984 election, Farooq Abdullah and the National
Conference deliberately tried to create revulsion against India for
their own political ends. These Propaganda ads (see Appendix I) tried to
demonstrate that India’s iron fist was bleeding Kashmir. There is
little evidence of Indian repression in this period, and it seems likely
that the National Conference was trying to use this as a way to hide
the poor and corrupt performance of the State Government. Indeed,
perhaps if India had done more to intervene in State affairs, it could
have abated the insurgency that followed.
The Role Of Pakistan
Having failed to take Kashmir by
force, and unable to win the hearts of the Kashmiris by offering them a
democracy when they themselves had a military dictatorship, Pakistan had to woo
the Kashmiris by its ideology of communalism. Before the insurgency in Kashmir
began, there was an insurgency movement in neighboring Punjab, which had also
been split between India and Pakistan in 1947. That died out by the late 1980s,
when the Sikhs that had taken up arms against India had realized they were
being used by their Pakistani sponsors and gave up arms. And so Pakistan’s
attention turned to Kashmir. One major reason Pakistan needed to sponsor insurgency
in India was to gain intelligence on India, and its army. After suffering three
consecutive defeats, each time after attacking India unprovoked and by
surprise, Pakistan was fearful India would be tempted to launch a pre-emptive
strike against Pakistan to destroy its army to ensure Pakistan never again
attempted to invade India.
The Pakistani view is that they
are providing moral support to the Kashmiri People in their fight for freedom
against the brutal Indian Army who commit excessive humans rights abuses on the
oppressed Muslims living in India, a non-Muslim country.
The Indian perspective is that
they are dealing with a proxy war by Pakistan who have never accepted the
Kashmiri’s democratic reaffirmation of their accession to India. The Kashmiris
themselves are split between supporting Pakistan, India and independence.
But while the Pakistanis and
Indians live in relative peace, it is the Kashmiri who suffers the most while
the issue remains unresolved.
The slogans: “Pakistan se kya rishta? La ilaha ilallah” (What is the relation with Pakistan? There is no God but God.) followed by “Azaadi ka matlab kya? La ilaha ilallah” (What is the meaning of freedom? There is no God but God.) and ‘Asi gachchi Pakistan, Batao roas te Batanev san’ (We want Pakistan along with Hindu women but without their men)
indicate that Pakistan for Kashmiris meant Islam, and freedom for
Kashmiris meant Pakistan, all the while showing an open hatred to
Kashmiri Pandits. Those who coined and floated these slogans went on to
form the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Force (JKLF). The JKLF wanted to
liberate Kashmir. In fact its founder, Hashim Qureshi, later fled to
Western Europe for asylum after the Pakistanis hijacked his organization
and used its members to fight India as part of a religious struggle
rather than for the independence he had desired.
In 1990 a report showed that
almost a thousand of the elite Kashmiri Muslims were on the payroll of the ISI.
In 1993, with pro-independence insurgents separating from the pro-Pakistan
factions, Pakistani border troops shot and killed some thirty Kashmiri youth on
their way to POK for training. Slowly but surely the ties between Pakistan and
the Kashmiri youth were being severed.
Perhaps the most significant
event was the insurgents successful kidnapping of India’s Home Minister. In
December 1989, there was a change in the Federal Government in India, with Rajiv
Gandhi losing to VP Singh’s Government. Singh’s deputy, the Home Minister, was
Mufti Mohammed Sayeed, the current Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir. Just
weeks after being sworn in, his daughter was kidnapped near Srinagar by
insurgents who demanded the release of their colleagues from prison. Mufti, holding
the third highest office in India behind the President and Prime Minister,
broke India’s policy of non-negotiation with terrorists and released the
captured insurgents and his daughter was released. The whole episode has
subsequently been referred to by insurgents as a key moment when they were able
to show their Kashmiri people that India could be brought to its knees.
These incidents gave the
Kashmiris fighting for independence a great deal of confidence, unlike the
early years when dreams of independence were always viewed as a practical
impossibility. Many Kashmiris felt that independence was imminent after the fall
of the communist era, and some locals remarked that they thought the reality of
independence was only a matter of weeks away.
January 20, 1990 was to be
Kashmiri Independence Day. This date was chosen a few weeks prior as the day
the masses would take to the streets and take power from India, effectively
their army, for the Kashmiri people (and they would subsequently become a
Republic and/or join Pakistan). Most Kashmiris were convinced that this would
occur, and in fact the largest exodus of Kashmiri Pandits occurred on January
19.
Despite the fact that the masses
were limited to Srinagar, and not regions of the State such as Ladakh and Jammu
did not mean it was not a very real threat.
There were reportedly between
January 1 and January 19, 1990, 319 violent acts – 21 armed attacks, 114 bomb
blasts, 112 arsons, and 72 incidents of mob violence.
In fact the Indian Government was
so desperate they sent Jagmohan, the former Governor of the State, on the night
of 18th January to make a last ditch effort to save the Kashmir Valley. He was
able to organize a last minute blockade that stopped people from leaving their
local neighborhoods so they could not reach the main streets and mobilize into
a large crowd.71 The momentum of the masses was soon lost, and such a mass
protest was never attempted again
Mass Exodus of Kashmiri Hindu Pandits from Kashmir Valley
One reason why Kashmiris were
uncomfortable in joining Pakistan was its large non-Muslim minority, who would
have no place in Islamic Pakistan. Hence by resorting to the systematic
killings of Hindus, as well as spreading fear amongst them through newspaper
ads and pamphlets ordering them to leave or face death, Pakistan was able to overcome
this major obstacle.
With most of the Hindus gone by
January 1990, and the secular minded Muslims powerless to help them return,
Pakistan was able to strengthen its claim on Kashmir.
There was religious
indoctrination, by misusing mosques and other available platforms, in a bid to
frighten the secular Muslims.
The crimes against humanity perpetrated
against the Kashmiri Pandits were tragic. While genocide occurred on a
small scale, it is more likely that the objective was to drive them away
rather than wipe them out. The dozens of killings and rapes were always
followed by warnings for Pandits to get out, which suggest that the
attacks were more as a statement rather than intent for mass genocide.
But what was most surprising to Pandits was how there were large
demonstrations in several Kashmiri cities by common Kashmiris with the
slogan: “Asi gachi Pakistan, batni rosin batta gatssin.” In Kashmiri this means: We will become a part of Pakistan, Pandit women can stay with us but Pandit men must leave.” They could understand why the extremists wanted them to leave, but were shocked when the masses joined in.
The Momentum Dies
The list of innocent persons who
fell prey to the bullets of terrorists is again illustrative of the
Islamization drive. The victims included prominent educationists and subscribers
to secular ideals. Not only Pandits, but Muslims such as Professor
Mushirul-Haq, Vice Chancellor, Kashmir University, and Maulana Mohammad Syed
Masoodi, a renowned Muslim scholar were among such victims at the hands of the
terrorists.
Libraries of Universities were
destroyed for having unislamic books, and freedom of speech was suspended. It
was clear the movement was not against India, but all things unislamic in their
eyes.
While comparisons to Nazi Germany
are fraught with danger, it does seem the population were caught in a mass
hysteria that they now admit was a mistake. I have heard many anecdotal stories
from others who have met with Kashmiri Muslims in Kashmir who have shown much
resentment in not doing anything to stop the fundamentalists. It is difficult
to determine if they genuinely wanted an Islamic State of Kashmir, or if they
merely followed the trend as if it were a fad.
The movement was not merely an
indigenous one, but clearly influenced by Pakistan. This is corroborated by the
fact that with the Pandits gone, the majority Sunni population then turned on
the minority Shias. There had previously been no tension between the two groups
in Kashmir. However, Pakistan has always been troubled by Sunni-Shia conflicts,
and thousands have been killed by each other in riots by mobs over the years.
So I argue the fact that the insurgents turned on the Shias indicates they had adopted
Pakistani principles rather than their own.
In 1986 Jagmohan had argued that
“Article 370 is nothing but a breeding ground for the parasites at the heart of
the paradise. It skins the poor. It deceives them with its mirage. It lines the
pockets of the ‘power elites’”. He explains how over the years it has become an
instrument of exploitation by the ruling political elites and other vested interests
in bureaucracy, business, judiciary and bar.
The Article merely facilitates
the growth and continuation of corrupt oligarchies. In fact Article 370
disallows such Indian legislation such as the Wealth tax, the Urban Ceiling
Act, the Gift Tax and other beneficial laws from helping the poor Kashmiri and leaves
them impoverished. There has been a complete dominance by this oligarchy, which
make up a small minority of Kashmiri Muslims. By cleverly playing India against
Pakistan, and using the masses as pawns in their game, they have kept a
stranglehold on the running of the State
Current Pakistan Sponsored Infiltration BID
After two or three trials, Pakistan tried to send a massive
horde of people across the border on 6-September 2019 to 9-September 2019. It
was supposed to be a successful attempt, putting Indian forces under serious
strain. But the people chickened out and a clueless Pakistan refused to allow
them to return, firing into the masses of people fleeing from India’s warning
fire. Though there is no official count of the dead, it is understood that more
than ten people died – with a majority of them drowning in river Poonch.
Pakistan didn’t back down even after that.
We covered the current situation in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir in our previous article, Islamist Radical Terrorists Mingled With Civilians In JKLF March In POK To Infiltrate In India.
Now, another wave is launched from Bhimber. Pakistan is
again clueless how to deal with this – allow them across the border or not?
Though Pakistan expected to bring in hundreds of thousands to be pushed across
the border with the claim of providing humanitarian aid to the people “who are
suffering under the jackboot of Indian atrocities”, this attempt to herd people
turned out to be a weak whimper – a number which won’t impact the ground
reality. That besides, Pakistani military is not completely sure whether to
allow the people. As of now, the march is blocked in Muzaffarabad, though the
original plan was to push them across the Friendship Bridge on
Srinagar-Muzaffarabad Road. But, it looks like Pakistan backed out. The roads
are blocked by the army to stop people from advancing and on the other side,
Imran Khan clearly said anyone crossing over into India will be treated as an
enemy of Pakistan. With rumours of the infamous 111th Brigade
ordered to report to duty after cancellation of leaves, this should be seen
whether Imran Khan is crossing swords with the Army or whether he is acting as
the mouth of Pakistani Army<tweet>.
On the other hand, India hasn’t revealed what it’s going to
do if the border is breached. Pakistan is known to use every sort of trick in
the book to push terrorists across the border. It has sent them across the
border under the covering fire of army, it escorted the terrorists under the
cover of SSG BATs, it smuggled them across the border, it trained civilians and
made them cross the border as regular civilians and what not? And with ISIS
terrorists sneaking into Europe through the refugee rat-lines becoming a major
epidemic, it is but natural for India to be wary of Pakistan will use this
supposedly civilian groups of people attempting to breach the border. How far
will it go to stop the people from crossing is something to be seen. What if
India stops them with brutal fire? What if Pakistan refuses to allow them back
and shoots them down as what it did the last time near Poonch? How will India
handle Pakistan shooting it’s own citizens (though from disputed territories)
from being slaughtered before it’s own lies? These are some questions which we
will have to see in the immediate future.
Conclusion
Indian Government need to learn
from the previous history. They should not allow a single infiltrator from
Pakistan into Indian side of Kashmir. As per reports, thousands of Pakistan
Trained Terrorists are using civilians as shields and are attempting to
infiltrate into Indian border. If these terrorists are able to infiltrate, they
will cause more Terrorist attacks and killings of civilians including women and
children.
Indian Government should install
CCTV cameras in all the Mosques in Kashmir to record each and every sermon and
every speech. Anyone giving hate speech and inciting violence in the name of
Religion should be booked and severe action be taken.
Once the situation is normal, as Indian
Government has planned, let Indian Industrialists setup large
manufacturing facilities in Kashmir and provide employment to Kashmiri
youths. We covered different development measures planned by Indian
Government in Indian Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir in our
previous article Kashmir Remained Peaceful On Eid, Life Normal Jammu Ladakh Regions
As the security situation improves,
rehabilitate over a Million Kashmiri Hindu Pandits who are living the
lives of refugees else where in India back in Kashmir.
Most important of all is to shut
down all Madrasas setup in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir and strictly
review all the text books used for education in all the schools (including
Government as well as Private Schools). Make sure children at young age are not
indoctrinated by Radical Islamic teachings that preach hatred for non-Muslims
to the young brains.
