Kashmir: Resources

While “uncomfortable for many, the reality that [Kashmir and Jammu] is occupied is (or was) widely recognized, including by the United Nations (the UN Security Council’s resolutions regarding Jammu and Kashmir presuppose that neither India nor Pakistan has sovereign title over the territory).”

Kashmir law & justice project

India not only illegally occupies Kashmir but also has annexed and colonized the territory. The processes of occupation, annexation, and colonization are ongoing. India subjects Kashmiri people to land grabs, evictions, incarceration, harassment, criminal intimidation, crackdowns on religious freedom, and physical violence by the Indian-occupation.

Like the Zionist framing of an “Israel-Palestinian conflict” which obscures the 77-year Nakba and settler colonial erasure of the Palestinian people by falsely suggesting this is a symmetrical armed conflict between two parties, the Hindutva project “labels Kashmir as an “internal bilateral issue”, concealing the reality of decades long occupation and colonization. All of this rhetoric rejects the reality that Kashmir and Palestine are under military occupation by settler-colonial projects.
