Are Kashmiris At Fault ?
The people who have a good understanding should only read this post. Seriously, if you can’t put yourself into the situation, you won’t understand what I mean.
India was under the rule of the British Empire. Every Indian was trying his bit to liberate India from the colonial rule of British Empire. All the Indians were ready to lay their life down for their India because they wanted their land independent. India was being ruined economically. No Indian could see such a plight of their motherland. A lot of people died, but freedom was equally important so none really cared about life. Everyone wanted an end to oppression by the British. India had already become a part of British Empire, but British wouldn’t let them free. The British Empire thought that India was a part, rather a jewel, of their empire, but simultaneously they discriminated against Indians and booked them needlessly. Indians considered their rule as a rule of tyranny. All the evils in India were considered a gift from the British Empire. India repeatedly challenged the ruthlessness of the British Empire. This uprising made the British Empire to experience the traitorous attitude of India. But the British Empire still wouldn’t let them free. India desperately wanted to be independent, but the British Empire wouldn’t understand their sentiments.
All that you just read was not some usual yada-dada. Now, the twist arrives. In the above text, wherever you find India replace it with Kashmir and replace British Empire by India. The only difference would be that India was being ruined economically but Kashmir in terms of lives.
What Indians were doing at that time, Kashmiris are doing it now. How come Kashmir is wrong now while as India was right then.
All Indians complain that we Kashmiris are anti-nationals. India never gave us a reason to be Indians, patriots. Had India given us a chance, they would have seen what real patriotism is! They have killed us on every occasion. We demanded right to self-determination, but we were denied that. We demanded that road to AZAD KASHMIR for trade purposes, still we were suppressed. We demanded that all political prisoners be released, another demand overturned. The most draconian law, ARMED FORCES SPECIAL POWERS ACT (AFSPA), allows them to book, torture or kill anyone on mere suspicion. We wanted the Indian Government to abolish it, again they rejected the demand. Now when its too late, they are ready to fulfill our demands. Isn’t this injustice. Had India treated us at par with other citizens of the country, this problem would have never come up. Why would we ask PAKISTAN to help us, if India did no injustice to us. Independent India, actually never accepted Kashmiris as a part of their society. They themselves alienated us and then branded us as anti-national.
