Some commentators are treating Kashmir as if it were a normal place like Washington DC or London or Chandigarh or Pune & now suddenly has turned abnormal because New Delhi invalidated Article 370. Fact: India has been fighting a war with Pakistan in Kashmir for last 30 years.1/n
In the 30-year-long war with Pakistan, India lost thousands of its people, most of them being Kashmiri Muslims. Every leader in Kashmir who tried to reason with Pakistan was shot dead by ISI—Mirwaiz Farooq, Abdul Majid Dar, Abdul Gani Lone, Moulana Showkat, Shujaat Bukhari. 2/n
Most pro-Pakistan separatists in Kashmir stopped invoking Pakistan & switched to ‘freedom’ slogans realizing that ISI sooner or later would kill them too if Kashmir was not handed over to Pakistan. It was a strategic decision of separatists to distance itself from Pakistan. 3/n
But experts without any knowledge or sense of what has happened in last 30 years of Pakistan’s war against India will project what they see on surface. Hence, ‘Kashmir is burning’, ‘Kashmir under siege’, ‘Kashmir brutalised’ etc. Yes, true but since 1990 because of Pakistan. n/n

Article 370 was inducted in the Indian Constitution following the 1947 war between India and Pakistan over Kashmir, engineered by the British Colonial rulers. Brilliant arguments put forward by senior advocate Rakesh Dwivedi before the Supreme Court bench headed by the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud. This is a must watch to understand history, geopolitics and law.
2. The founding fathers and mothers of the Republic had a clear policy on India and Article 370 was a deviation from that policy. Deviations can never be permanent, senior Supreme Court advocate Rakesh Dwivedi argues eloquently.
3. A very powerful argument on President’s role and Article 370. Permanent vs ephemeral entities in the Indian constitution. Excellent argumentation by Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi before the Supreme Court of India.

Last night jihadis across continents held a closed room Twitter Spaces discussion on their future strategy to perpetrate terrorist violence against Indian nationalist Muslims & security forces in Kashmir. Recorded proof below is in Kashmiri language & some in English. Thread 1/n
An Islamist says India has figured out all the old strategies. So now it’s time for them to change the course. Advises it’s time to come to the streets in Kashmir, attack forces; create chaos, anarchy & terror in WINTERS so that Pakistan has enough cover fire to attack India. 2/n
Muslim diaspora from Kashmir in UK/US reveal how they collaborated with powerful mainstream political parties like NC & PDP. They used to pay them $/£ to release Islamist terrorists in Kashmir. Says Abdullahs & Muftis are allies of separatists, but now helpless under BJP/RSS. 3/n
